8 page spread in the Sunday Mail today on the worst kind of hoons ...crush turbo cars they say...hmm

I must thank certain commodore (and other) car clubs for the safe promotion of hooning, burnouts & flouting the laws...

If you drive like a dickhead and do burnouts you deserve the best the law can throw at you ... HOWEVER we dont all do that yet we are now cast in the same light as the tools in the article..god help us all.

WE NOW HAVE THE FULLEST ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC and 95% of us do nothing wrong...

Interesting times ahead peoples.

Read the article a bit more thoroughly. It outlines All Car Club and RCK as being the trouble makers. SAPOL have identified these clubs as the trouble makers and that other clubs (we weren't mentioned directly) were working with police promoting us as car enthusiasts, not hoons.

I'd advise everyone to read the 8 page spread properly before going for their guns. Its a small step in a positive direction, not in the wrong direction.

:)

These hoon clubs will be their own undoing. It doesn't concern us.

Its the right thing to do to work with the police...however.

POLITICIANS FEAR THE PUBLIC THE MOST.

That story has cemented car crushing..period ...plus the possibility of new laws specifically targeting ..well you know who. The public dont care if its a commo or a skyline.. they want hoons gone... you watch what happens next.

And as i type this a car just did a major burnout not far from my house...great.

Time to get a VW..LOL

I had a hearty lol at Lainie Anderson's piece a bit further on, she makes mention of how a few workshops will return your car to standard if it gets defected and clear the defect and re-fit the parts. She goes on to say that if someones car got defected for illegal mods it should be crushed to stop this from happening :)

Some of the view points the media put across on this issue border on lunacy at times, makes for a great laugh if anything else.

It's all nothing new RCK has for as long as I can remember been the bottom dwellers of the car scene, bringing everyone down with them. And from what I can see ACC is just another club following in their foot steps. RCK had a big write up like this maybe 2-3 years ago.

As for car crushing, meh. I'll believe it when it actually comes in, but very doubtful on that one.

what difference does it make? at the end of the day if you have a defectable car your going to get defected and if you hoon your going to get caught, dont do neither and youve got absolutely nothing too worry about. cops will never get along with car enthusiasts. thats just my opinion

at the rate the sa government is pushing this car crushing shit, its time i started considering a move to another state... :)

Just watch where you feel the need to feel the SR powers push you back into your seat and your fine.

Laws and defect laws etc are just as strict if not worse in eastern states buddy...

Except places like QLD they can get mod plates, and actually get cars engineered. Where as here engineering papers arent even worth they paper they are written on.

I read the article and as far as i can tell it was about ACC, BUT it puts everyone who drives any car of interest back into the radar again as far as the public is concerned unfortunatly...The old saying one bad apple spoils the bunch.

more likely that some moron will do something retarded in a wrx, or someone will post a video of someone drifting in japan on youtube but call it 'drifting the adelaide suburbs'.

Was talking with Ben (Grim) about this the other weekend and how they're managing to get into trouble with wrx's because they're not that fast in a straight line stock, and i've never had the car get into any sort of hairy situation (done the odd hills jog in it)....If you want i'll take you for a drive you can see the amazing power of the wrx....Even my wife feels safe driving it rain hail or shine (1/2 the reason i got the thing anyways)

i think the speed readers woulda read that as all car club's

lol at the guy they calling hoon, there main pic of him is with a helmet on obviously at the race track. unless thats his trademark hooning atire.

was interesting they going undercover attending events. well hopefully thatll show which car clubs cause the trouble.

could they make the article sound any more like the fast n furious blurb. secret underworld closing streets down to other motorists, some of my fav lines of it. also the comments about kidz now changing there brakes so only the front brakes come on for burnouts. the only people i know that have done that, did it in the 70s

now stop buying those papers, your only encouraging more boring articles :P

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
