they published my comment. unedited. im shocked.

They published mine also.

I agree that the parole issue must be hitting a raw nerve with Massive Wanker Media Mike. Hence, the "car crushing" topic flaring up again as a distraction.

:)

just thinking out loud here;

we've hit what... 70 road fatalities this year? from memory 5 of those have been caused by "hoon" behaviour*.

everything else has been drink driving, drug driving, inattention, fatigue, etc...

so not only is this plan not proportionate to the number of deaths caused by "hoon" behaviour*, but its also making a statement that driving drunk and/or stoned is more socially acceptable and not as dangerous as say, taking off quickly from the lights.

*"hoon" behaviour as most people know, ie, acc cruises, drag races, etc.

another thought, not too long ago they added people that were caught graff'ing to the hoon category and started impounding and clamping their cars, no wonder the figures for "hoon" offences are so high.

just had another look, someones thinking along the same lines as me and has posted the same.

meh, my comment stands. sa is quickly becoming the benchmark for police states. i almost cant wait to go live in a normal country.

lol, i really oughta learn to read. re-read what i wrote to find the word 'death', couldnt. thought i didnt. funny how you dont see things when youre looking for them. :)

lol, the utter narrow-mindedness and stupidity in some people boggles the mind

Who care's which Government brings it in, I am just Thankful that something is being done about the problem. Mind you I would have made the law in two stages, 1: First time offence would be to sell the car, money put into victim support, or funding for the police. 2: Second offence would be to crush the car, with the owner present, and for them to pay for the crusher.

but yet, there is hope for all in this world

You all seem to think hoons are drag racers. Current law says even revving the engine makes you a hoon. Rev your motor at a red light for 3 seconds and you're a hoon, your $20,000 car is crushed at the whim of the police not the courts, that's the same penalty as actually driving through a red light SIXTY SIX times!! What's the bigger crime? What sort of stupid society are you trying to create here? Think about what Rann is really doing.

yeah, theres some really retarded things being said.

shows how thorough the media brain washing has been, and how low the collective intelligence of the community is.

edit, perfect example;

why not just confiscate them, make money from them to install more speed cameras or to get more police in the streets.

because speed cameras have really proven themselves to effective tools in reducing the road toll, there are 3 more speed cameras on my usual route into work than there were this time last year, and if im not mistaken, there are more fatalities this year. interesting.

Marty, MSG 8.... bout time you learnt.... guns and cars dont kill people. Chuck Norris kills people. To all the sad people complaining about homes and finance being at risk, rest assured, the government's legislation is piss weak at best. There is already the ability to permanently seize repeat offender's cars for hoon driving and it isn't done. Instead the same people commit offences and get away with it. But on the other side, dont commit hoon related offences and you wont have to worry about you car being crushed, pretty simple. You say people depend on transport to get the kids around and get to work. well treat it like the privelage it is and not the right that you expect, drive safely, not like a kid on a go kart track. Why is this so hard to understand? I am not concerned about my car being crushed because i dont drive like a gonzo.

:)

Frustrating is an under statement! Some people must live under rocks! Dave highlighted the points well, guess drink driving is more acceptable now then? Obviously who ever puts this crap together seems to have an incompetence with gathering facts and data. Ban the bikies, crush the cars, whats next?

im sure theyre quite skilled at it actually. its their method of presentation that is flawed.

as for whats next? everyone lives in identical concrete houses, everyone drives identical yugo's, everyone works for the same money, everyone drinks vodka, and everyone does everything comrade rann asks, welcome to ranningrad, dissenters will be crushed.

meh, whatever.

the world we live in is messed up. cant wait till all the oldies die off and stop trying to wrap everyone in cotton wool.

it's almost like, if you fart in your car, your going to be shot!

i dont 'hoon' around but because of the cars i drive people have already made their mind up on me. alot of cops think the same way and now its going to be their word against mine. cant wait.

lol, the utter narrow-mindedness and stupidity in some people boggles the mind

if they sell your car 1st offence how it going to be crushed on the 2nd :domokun: they crush your old car?

futher more isnt that the same net effect anyway :D you take there car away n give it to someone else or take their car away and crush it. whats the diff to the offender

you cant argue with narrow minded fools they will never accept their point of view could be the least bit wrong. aslong as the news paper keeps printing hoon stories they going to think its a new thing that sprung up overnight suddenly people started modifying cars and racing

its actually a pretty frustrating read.

+1/ I write on that stupid site a fair bit. Just did then.

I honestly don't understand some people. If your going to turn your comp on and write something at least have some knowledge on the subject. SA the semi - retarded state

"It's up to the police commissioner, but it is a high probability that those caught street racing will have their car crushed," he said.

"That's the message we want to send, if you are out there and you are caught racing at 140km/h or 150km/h down Port Rd with another car then the police commissioner would really want to send a strong message to them too.

"I think the community wants this too. They are not prepared to tolerate this."

More than 6150 cars have been clamped or impounded by police since the State Government introduced tough new anti hoon legislation in 2005.

The Government hopes the laws will be in place soon after parliament resumes in September.

Like I said previously, the day they crush a car owned by a finance company, will be the day it's my shout! :D

Yes Communism worked well......................in theory

LOL James, you are so close to the truth that I don't even think you realize it.........I'll gather my thoughts later and give you some insight on the ramifications of these new "anti-association laws" that this Rann government is trying to shove down our throats. Rann & his public relation croanies have successfully instilled so much fear into the public (Re: Bikies) through the manipulation of the media that we've quickly and openly accepted these laws with our eyes shut to future ramifications.......lol at fear campaigns!!

to be continued.....

Yeah good old Mike Rann trying to rule with an iron fist and strike terror into the hearts of the population through the media scare mongering, which he seems quite proficient at. And these anti-association laws, aren't these somewhat similar to Hitler and the Jews (no offence to anyone), trying to create the society he wanted and needed to succeed as a power figure. Its almost anti-semetic what Rann is trying to to SA. And who said the Iron Curtain had fallen!

p.s. Pete might be starting one of those courses soon :D

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
