It does mean you can do whatever you want to your car and never have to worry about defects.

It also means you can't just drive your car on the road whenever you like >_<

I miss it, bad :(

Sif worry bout defects. Just have nice hair. :thumbsup:

cops that dont write tickets, maybe they had an afternoon beer already and just wanted to go home?

There was 2 cops (well 3 actually, one rocked up in a second car halfway through, but it seems he just wanted to watch...). One was a guy, and he really didn't want to let me get off scott free. The other was a chick and she just wanted to give me a warning. Clearly she was hot for me ;). They seemed to settle on giving me a defect notice but no demerit notice, but then couldn't find the book so just let me go. The dude was clearly unhappy about it though.

Tirerack KU31

Like $105 on tirerack.

+Postage yeah? They're only ~$120 odd locally, so I don't reckon they'd be much cheaper. And I don't have to wait for them to come from overseas. I may be a 31 owner but I'm not that tight.

I got hassled by the cops for my tyres

my ride height, cage, steering wheel, blow off valve, rim width and lack of h pattern were mentioned too

he did say I had great hair, but still gave me a $200 fine.

Ghey

LOL.

To be fair though, you do have great hair

Truth.

less than 100mm ground clearance

I'm surprised actually, mine never seems to get checked for ground clearance.

Said solution involves driving around in patrol as daily. Chicks hate that. >_<

Werd.

That's why you need a fun car, and a daily which is also fun :thumbsup:

...shame it's such an expensive exercise :(

But that didn't work apparently...

thats because try as he might the f**king idiot couldnt find anything else on his laminated cheat sheet to get me for

On a more pleasing note it would appear they have realised the stupidity of dragging people through court for a bov. Quite a few members have been nabbed lately but only given a minor defect notice.

That's why I carried a cheat sheet killer under my passenger seat.

current code of practice printed in A5 format and mods brochure.......for the 'On the go' arguer who likes to keep it compact

I spoke to a copper friend of mine about that....the judges were really beginning to resent having these types of offences go past them and started giving favourable outcomes to the 'hoons'

LOL, probably would have been the same for me if my tyres weren't bald at the edges.

There's no way that should be anything other than a minor defect. Win.

Spotted: Thristan at Geebung Commonwealth ;)

I didn't think drifters had any use for banks :P

I also have my own mini trundle wheel and tyre depth gauge.

I like it!

Obviously a Holden/Ford fan who hates "riceburners"

Or just trying to meet his quota? Who knows.

Good to see there's some common sense in the system somewhere.

What size?

Doesn't matter Dan, thanks tho

bit late now and I dont have a spare rim anyways...

guess ill see how shes goes down the line with a cold tyre first...

So it is friday nite. i am meant to leave in 10 mins but due to a lovely HSV function i am here till 9pm. So i get to sit here and listen to some lovely old and overweight men talk about how great their HSV's are. AND the kicker.....

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
