Just wanting to get an idea of where I stand from peoples experiences I have just got my summons for when I got impounded and I have been charged with Careless Driving and Intentional loss of traction which to none I have admitted just wondering whats the possiblites I could be facing and also take into account I am at the moment serving out a 6 month suspension for speeding.

well if you were impounded - and if the reasons for the impound was similar to charges...

Not going to get very far I'm afraid as impounding isn't exactly taken lightly, nor does it sit well.

Lawyer up etc etc, but prepare for 6 months of walking.

i faced similar thing strart of the year.

speak to legal aid its free, theres one across the road from magistrates court in dandenong

got 300$ fine 3 demerit points and still have to attend a road trauma program or something.

I've been told from some mates that if your just honest, and be nice and open to the judge u can get out of alot...

a friend of mine got out of a 12 month suspension with a slap on the wrist..

then again i copt a 12 month suspension but he didn't send me to court... so i gota ware that one =(

also depends what u were doing and if u can justify...

i wish u luck mate.. if it makes u feel any better a mate of mine has 5 court summons... and their all for driving whilst suspended and not attending summons.. so imagine the penalty!

Were you already on suspension when you got the car impounded?

Should be banned forever. But then, obviously a lack of a licence hasn't stopped him, so maybe he deserves some hard time instead.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
