task force 'diagonal'...

... :)

why do they always use such lame names?

they don't want to make what they're doin obvious so they come up with a name for it, like the anti-bikie task force Avatar.

Read the Sunday Mail today, they've already picked up 3 cars and at this time their gathering evidence also known as trolling car forums for hot spots.

The photo with the boost controller in the ashtray looks like its a R32 :)

so hydraulics are part of the hoon thing? :)

the way they word it for the causual reader "it alters the hieght of the car" makes it sound like its for performance reasons. usually once its installed the car handles worse than it did before. i dont get why they illegal they not really dangerous unless you gota monster setup to get the car way off the ground or if you stupid enough to do it while driving.

so you cant modify your car to handle worse, thereby making you drive slower around corners and you cant modify your car with coilovers improving the handling.

bovs increase power :banana: lol

love the hoons strike back thing :banana: next week is hoons declare war

yeah, read the article. had a chuckle. in some parts they actually try to explain the mods in lay terms... but fail. and in others, yeah, they do what dan has pointed out. meh, whatever. wont find a BOV tucked up under my wheel arch, or nitrous hooked up to my carby while im bustin the hydros cause im sick.

lol. STAR force officers fast roping out of black hawks into the vili's parking lot? :)

all because of that american gangster-style hydraulic suspension... such a shame.

time for f n furious qoutes, apparently the cops like to refer to the movie for their accurate modding information more than i do for corny laughs :)

Johnny Tran: [Dom walks away] TORETTO! TORETTO! SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family because somebody narc'd me out! And you know what? IT WAS YOU!

[Dom punches Tran and a brawl ensues]

Dom: *I never narc'd on nobody! I never narc'd on nobody!*

when they getting specially modified cars to chase the hoons, put hydros on the cop car. thatll make the hoons think twice about making a runner

In the Sunday mail article Kate Kyriacou quotes Constable Neil Hastie as saying that "The blow-off valves - which are normally on top of the engine - are being concealed in the wheel arches. ...They know these things are illegal so they are putting plenty of effort into hiding them better"

This just isn't true. The standard position for most bov's is just after the intercooler - concealed in the side of the front bar.

While he does recognise that bov's are factory fitted and (when fitted correctly) legal, it sounds like there is going to be a continuation of the uninformed view of "Your blow-off valve looks like it's hidden down there so it must be illegal"....REDICULOUS!

I know that on RB motors the BOV is sitting on the crossover pipe in the engine bay.....but i have seen it on the likes of the 180's etc that the stock BOV is sitting behind the front bar.....so does that make them illegal even though they came stock????

BLOODY IDIOTS

this new breed of street hoons are using illegal suspension parts to enable them to take shortcuts in races simmilar to whats done with a feather in the famous video game "mariokart" ghost stage. there are currently no confirmed deaths resulting from the use of hydraulics but its not the majority voting public that use them so better safe than sorry we get rid of them

sorry thought id have a go at journalism dosnt seem that hard :D

    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
