Is there a specific law regarding take off speed? I'm sure a cop could find something to fine you with if you did drive like that and you'd deserve whatever was dished out.

All I said was it might not "technically" be illegal.

2 things... in regards to your other post where you said " Technically what he's doing may not be illegal if its in a 100kmh zone." he admits to doing it in a backstreet so yes its going to be illegal.

secondly, apparently there are laws for acceleration - my mate has an s2000, was pulled over on the freeway of all places, nothing was wrong with the car, so the officer said fine and they both got ready to head of, he took of fast - as the dumbass cop pulled him over at the end of a bend and he couldnt see around it, so to be safe and not slow anyone down he tried to get up to speed...

15 seconds later the cop pulls him over again and fines him for accelerating too fast.....

I know I don't fang out of booze bus's up to 60....

Wow. Didn't know that about the accelaration thing. I always take of fast but don't exceed the speed limit. In future I don't think i'll be doing that. Thanks for the heads up. :)

yeah definately check it out on a dyno

mine was running slow when I got it, I didn't know

about it cause I went straight from an old laser 4cyl to skyline turbo six

without having driven any other higher powered car so I thought it

was fast and only found out when I got it serviced the guys at the shop

said that it was very slow compared to other skylines they'd serviced and

tested , they thought It might have been leaking boost or something, but

once they tuned it up and such I couldn't believe the difference.

So, you let someone else drive like a maniac in your car while you weren't around to stop them?

Regarding the acceleration issue, I don't think accelerating fast is technically illegal if you don't do a burnout. I went to court a couple of years ago and I paid a good lawyer to represent me. He said that taking off fast at a set of traffic lights is not illegal and can easily be beaten if taken to court provided a burnout isn't performed as this would be classed as hooning.

Incidentally, he beat all but one charge (other lawyers have since said that he basically pulled off a miracle and got the best and most unlikely result in the scenario).

EDIT:

To the OP, stop being an idiot and take your car to a track or drag strip. Backstreets are not the place to be doing 100 kph.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
