lol and how much are new factory bov's gonna set me back??

just took her for a little run and it was shocking!! bov's constantly chatting, and goin no where

this special task force "if" used correctly could be a good thing.. target the big carparks at really late hours.. usually where the trouble goes down.. got a feeling alotta unmarked random cars will be cruising around for the next 3 months

The news that car crushing is coming is a concern but i think the bigger problem is the fact that they are going to make drag racing a criminal offence not that i condone it but what constitutes drag racing on the streets . this is just another open ended law that has so many implications .

^ agreed 100%

i support these laws to a certain extent, as long as they give true, law abiding car/bike enthusiasts a fair go.

give said true enthusiasts a place to go, and then crack down on those flamin mongrels who do not use it.

hey, if old codgers didnt have a place to play lawn bowls, they would complain they had no place to enjoy there hobby yeah?

same thing..... sort of :P

dont worry pete, its ok to be old and play bowls, i wasnt picking on you mate :)

last night in the news the cops had confiscated a ferrari in Melbourne for doing something like 213kmph......i mean just wtf was that knobhead thinking......i know its a Ferrari and melb has a number of tracks too

Is that the Ferrari California that was clocked at 231Km/h in Perth? If so, car was impounded for 7 days and was supposed to be used by journalists for magaizine write ups.... I think!

I thought it was in Melb....well my brain wasnt working properly as i had a long day....

but yeah it was that one

:)

you know im just playin, your not old mate....... just alot older than me. :)

please dont spank me with that ban stick..for what will i do with my spare time....

seen a BA falcon this arvo with very very small led's in the rear window,15'' RJR el'cheapos and two plain clothes in it.

maybe part of the task force?

heard the news last night that the mobile speed camera units wont be having those "Speed camera's save lifes" sign near them anymore.....so they are going to be more like spies....Pete got anything to do with it :banana:......and they are replaceing all windows with shatter proof laminate....as there have been reports of people throwing rocks and all sorts at the officer sitting inside lol

cause getting rid of the signs is going to make them infinitely harder to spot.

i mean, late model ford wagon, dark colour, illegal tint, louvers, and a couple extra ariels, generally illegally parked. yup. will never be able to notice those.

yeah i like the fact you mention "illegally parked" as most of the times they are...

oh no....no signs what are we going to do.....didnt they used to put the sign miles down the road once you've already passed the speed camera

Gotta love this.... I thought Speed cameras were meant to save lives! Ha... the whole idea of the sign was meant to get people to slow down. Guess they really just want to collect the cash then??

yeah, its pretty transparent really.

a sign makes adjusts my right foot better than a fine 6 weeks later.

oh yeah that accident was caused by you speeding....but you are going to learn your lesson 6 weeks later when you get the fine in the mail.....peanuts for brains i say

Taken from another car forum I'm a member of (cant post link because it wont let non-members in)

Hi Guys,

Just letting everyone know to be very careful driving around. There are new cameras out that read your registration plate. If your car is registered as a 'performance vehicle' you are likely to get pulled over soon after driving through an intersection with this cam...

Matt (Colt45) got pulled over down the bay tonight. The cop told him about this new camera that Matt had driven through, and since his car is registered as a performance vehicle, the cop went over his entire car. His car is a brand new Ralliart Lancer, no mods.... I am guessing that we have a few rexy's etc that are going to fall into this category, and with the mods that I know some of you guys have, I dont think that you are going to be as lucky...

Just got off the phone to Matt then, the cop explained to him how the system works.

Basically this box is placed a few hundred metres down the road, and scans number plates once you drive past, it sends your details to the data base and lets the cop down the road waiting know, that your vehicle is a performance vehicle and that he/she should check it out.

Matt drove past the box, few hundred metres later cop flicks his lights on and stands in the middle of the road. When asked why he was pulled over, was told "your number plates have been scanned and has come back that its a performance vehicle and we should check it out to make sure its all legit"

Big brother stuff......

latly ive seen the latest fashion for the police is to park their cars down poeple driveways at night, with a camera..

seen one next door, he just pulled up and sat there for abit, then left, is that legal? like just pulling up in someones driveway?

another time i was going to work and two cops were just parked on a road taking up both lanes, so i stopped infront of them and waited for abit, then i flashed my highbeams, they ended up moving.

like they complain about hoons, but what about them?

and cop cars arnt hard to spot. maybe if they took off 100 of their anttennas of the back window, or had lighter tint, or not parked in stupid spots.

anyways, i heard in melbourne and perth they drive done up rexies and skylines and try/provoke people to drag, then after they pull them over.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
