They wont get off the 'hoon band wagon' while there are complete dickheads like Kurt from Mandurah who brags about it and clearly shows no respect to law enforcement.

There is always going to be that minority though.

Why does everyone not go and get a race license and get out on the track.

I personally never get impressed by a burnout...but to see some good laps times at AHG or Wanneroo etc, then those times improve....that impresses me (both car and driver) :)

No matter where it is, it wont work....especially since it has the support of the police who will 'supervise for safety'.

While i think its a good idea to have police support, i can see them coming down hard on people there the very moment some hero opens his mouth or does something stupid or damages a car due to 'recklessness' etc....which will happen.

I think its a great idea to do this and have it out away from suburbia but i dont think it work and it keeps police busy and away from other stuff that may be needed urgently in the area and the Ellenbrook police are limited in numbers as it is already.

Just my 2 cents :)

It might just relieve the strain on the police being that all the bunky commodores and silvias will be in the one place :( That being said, my car that can do burnouts, I wouldn't take anywhere near there if it's run and/or supported by the police :P

*sigh*

is anyone else sick of hearing the word "hoon"

ffs let us drive in peace..

Yes.

Why do a lot of people say things like this? I've never been pulled over because of the car I drive. Always been a reason I've been pulled over.

Agreed, but I still don't like the looks or extra scrutiny that comes with driving an import. Luckily this is drastically reduced with teh bus :(

Because the pants you wear like that dipshit " Kent " :)

;)

That's very un-Australian of you Bard!!

bubba you coming cruise 2moro?

P.S. Bard, we're talking turbo6's here, not paddock bashing corollas :P

P.P.S. that actually explains a lot :)

Thread completely derailed......

How much does public liability affect what goes on in private property that is open to the public? burnout pads..... probably not going to happen for that alone?

And I can't believe I never noticed the tshirt george bush is wearing until now...... and how long has that been brad's avatar?

I think its up to the owner of the land to ensure public liability insurance? Would be very costly though so probably wouldnt happnen if on pvt property. In the event iof a big incident (crash, injury or death) the owner of the land would be 100% liable.

Wouldn't he be able to just get people to sign a form saying he is not liable for any damage/death/whatever caused... like at the motorplex?

Even the motorplex has public liability insurance.

Youll also notice they must have a certain amount of staff there, plus Ambulance and fire vehicles etc etc (also staff have to be trained in certain areas etc)

Not to mention Andra being involved so those fees/licences need to be paid for and issued.

sounds all to hard it prob wont happen

and if it does wont there be cops there just waiting to give people stickers n what not?

Exactly!

To make it work the owners would have to charge people to use the pad, and people wont pay anyway....thats why we dont get too many drivers to the ttrack days. :)

nah bet you hes set up some payment with the cops lol

he brings all the "hoons" to his place and then the cops fine them.give them stickers.impound or whatever

seriously if anyone is stupid enough to go there then there asking to get caught...

no such thing as legal racing/burnouts unless its in a proper place not someones backyard

well thats what i think..

It says he has support of local government etc. I was discussing this yesterday actually with a mate and we were saying exactly that, insurance is going to be the killer along with things like noise constraints etc.

If local government is backing it you'd expect that noise issues would be fairly nulled (especially right next to the raaf base).

If he charged everyone a flat fee to go on the pad, layed some cones out and that I know that I'd be up for it. The problem with track days AHG,Barbs etc, is you can't just go down there when you feel like it, theres predetermined dates. And with Barbs, it's expensive. Cams liscense+WASCC+fee each time.

With a small amount of work on running this place I think it could be a great idea, and to those worried about cops hanging around and stickering people, they do it at barbs after drift days already so there's really not that much difference, and lets not forget that day at the drags where cops stickered a bunch of people. To be honest yellow stickers are one of those things that don't bother me hugely when they are deserved by the car, however it's when they sticker something that's legal due to their own ignorance that annoys me.

I think everyone is being a bit quick to judge this kent guy, you can't believe that he actually said that shit without knowing the context it's in, I'd like to hear Kent's side of things before I jump on the hate wago.

P.S. I used to wear pink trackies to bed, gf made me throw them out. :)

so what about all those people that leave kwinana drags on a Wednesday night??

There's cops there watching and cops waiting outside the venue when everyone leaves..

They don't dish out stickers fines etc

If you go to this burnout and drop a skid, and are stupid enough to drive off with bald tyres then yeah you deserve a yellow sticker for your stupidity..

Comes down to common sence..

If you wanna be a sickflamin mongrel and drop skids and "hoon" around then yeah you deserve everything you get

On the weekend I got pulled over by cops.. Wasn't doing anything wrong.. Just rbt

I co-operated, cop looked over my whole car, inside, engine bay, boot, everywhere

I thought yep, yellow sticker for sure.. The guy said "no worries mate, drive safe"

Considering I have no interior in my car, roll cage, it's loud as f**k, got a highmount, no permits for any mods.. He still let me go..

Why?

I dunno..

Maybe coz I was nice to him? Coz I co-operated? Coz I wasn't doing anything wrong to begin with?

Maybe he was just a nice guy?

Moral?

Don't do stupid shit and you won't get raped

I cbf typing anymore

If you don't like it.. Sell your car, buy a camry..

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
