I can't believe some of the ridiculous shit people have posted on that news story on the News website.

5 years prison and a lifetime driving disqualification for speeding? What the f**k?!

Idiotic. It's probably editors of the Advertiser who comment that shit.

As much as this was a tragic happening that without a doubt has now changed many lives, especially those close to the people involved. My thoughts are with those people who are affected by this. I would use the word accident, but both parties would have been well aware of the risks involved therefore it is no accident what happened.

We all learn by our own mistakes, but maybe we should all learn from this tragic incident.

My thoughts are with the family of those lost and of those left behind.

shit... if that isn't a wake up call to those of us who like the occasional squirt on the roads (me included) then i don't know what is. Condolences to their respective families.

Amen brother, talk about wake up call for all of us, none of us are chasing more KW's jsut for the hell of it, we all give it a bit on the odd occasion (or the not so odd.....)

hard to figure it out coz magill is pretty straight, and for BOTH cars to crash.... WTF?!?!

My thoughts are with the affected families, I think we can all see ourselves in the wreckage photos, most of us have dragged other cars from time to time.

I think we'd all be lying if we said we never went over the speed limit. Sure, not 90+kph over but 20+kph over can lead to deaths as well.

Well that's the thing, a lot of the time we think it's just a straight stretch of road, what could possibly go wrong...

True that.

The news report said one driver lost control and hit the other car, so even if your driving/your car were fine the other guy could cause the accident and you'd be finished.

I've never been affected by this stuff but my wife gave birth to our first child, a daughter, 3 days ago, and after seeing that on the news it hit me that if that was me I'd miss the rest of her life.

Was going to clean the car and go out for a drive tonight actually but decided against....

Thats exactly what happened about a year ago at port wakefield when two cars were racing and one careered into a bus

just to make another point, the people saying, oh f**k the driver, i feel bad for the passengers etc etc

they were a willing party in all this, ok maybe i dont know that for sure (they may have been tied to the seat with a gag in their mouth), but pretty good odds that they never piped up and said nup, f**k this, let me out, dont wanna be a part of this, and unless u do u are no better than the driver.

its a tragic event regardless.

very true Troy

118million on a underpass and the government cant chuck in for a garden island motor sport complex :thumbsup:

simple as that, government has made it clear that congestion at one intersection is more important than the issue of street racing, what does this tell us? that street racing is only an issue as long as its an issue that they can make money off.

and unfortunately this is the reality, street racing really isnt THAT much of an issue as far as the road toll goes. one death every now and then is peanuts to the road toll, understanding how disrespectful that sounds to anyone who knew Minh.

RIP to the guy...Probably not the smartest place or smartest speeds to be doing in a built up area though....

Building an overpass for the majority will win more votes for the government then building a drag strip for a minority

Amen to that brother, my daughter is 3 weeks old tomorrow and its opened my eyes to alot of things i do....

Agreed mate, f*cking stupid bastards.

Nothing dumber than that crap going around a few years ago about "confiscate their cars and crush them" - that is just a load of crap. Like they were going to change the law to make it legal to crush the cars of us "hoons".

And don't even get me started on the word "hoons"!!!

Rest in Peace to Minh!

I would like to say that we have all done stupid things in our cars and some even say that wont happen to me,................ well the sad fact is it can and it has, its happened yesterday, last week, last month and last year

What we all need to remember is that these things are called accidents for a reason, no one set out to hurt anyone or kill anyone but it happens and there is nothing you or i can do about it, it wont be the first and it wont be the last.

So remember that while your all calling them silly and what ever imagine its your neighbour, brother or friend that this has happened to and just be mindful of others feelings!

Sorry to all familys involved for your loss

You have no idea how many times ive written a not so freindly reply to some of the assholes posting shit here, then deleted it, no point in arguing. Some of you that posted stuff along the lines of "why drag on public roads" well ive seen yous do it, so you better keep your mouth shut. Shits me to tears !

And Atti i have couple picks of the 33 and his FB account, but im not sure he would want it posted, sorry.

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
