hello

so yea havent been down chapel st in over a year mainly coz of being defected everytime i drove anywhere near it and was just wondering is it still as bad these days?

is the cop attention still as tough or has it died down? or is it even worse? if i was to go there on a friday/saturday night would i see any imports/modded cars at all like in the olden days or is everyone playing it safe and taking their mum's shitbox?

just curious is all...

thanks

on my occasional retail shop down Chapelle i still see A LOT of hero's... WRX's seem to feature heavily, or maybe it's just the distinctive boxer rumble... either way, over the years, it's always seems to have plentiful supple of retards

I go down there some times. Lots of Commodores and occasionally a few imports.

Safeway car park is full of idiots ripping burnouts.

Not too many people around in Winter because it's too cold.

It will pick up in summer and you'll start seeing people showing off their cars, especially convertibles etc.

yeah you still get the muzzas rolling through Chapel St. but it's not as much....Definitely in summer it will definitely pick up and cops will be out in force again.

I still find it funny the amount of heroes doing silly crap down Chapel knowing cops are around and me laughing at eastside kiddies on their P's driving mummy/daddys Merc S Class trying to be cool. The last time I was in Capel for dinner with mates, I saw a P1 driver (Red P's) driving mummy or daddys Merc AMG SL55 with his friends...

Last time I went down there, about a year ago, very quiet, lots of cops, 4 cops on each side of the street patrolling.

Clubs were quiet, and the streets were quiet due to the police presence. Its not the same as it used to be...

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
