Ok I know this is a bit lame, but my two nomination to get the ball rolling:

Tunnel - No cameras, and you get to hear the sound of your 'zaust (how cool is that? :( ), plus well...it's a tunnel!

That 270 deg ramp from the Causeway onto Great Eastern/Canning westbound - test yer grip! :)

The new marmion road section to yanchep is a pretty nice road, the views arnt bad and the road is less bumpy than most others in WA. unrelated but have also seen what may have been a journalist in a new model red ferrari doing at least 250kmph on this road from the speed he overtook me and the speed that I was travelling at already

There are camera's in the tunnel. Speed Camera's and for traffic control purposes, and the cops are cracking down on it anyway.

Are you sure there are SPEED cameras in the tunnel?

I normally do 'around' :) 80 km/hr through there and I am telling you...EVERYONE is going past me. That's alot of tickets.

There are speed cameras in the tunnel but operated by MRWA so it's more for traffic flow purposes to monitor how the traffic's going.

The cameras have yet to be setup for police purposes and are only used in real time i.e. not recorded although there is the capability but MRWA prefers not to do it (as with other real time cameras located around freeways). It could in theory be used as speed cameras if they wanted to.

My sources suggest that police have installed point to point cameras outside the tunnels to measure the average speed of motorists and therefore fine drivers who average over 80km/h for the tunnel section. I believe it is in the testing phase although I'm not sure when it will become fully operational.

Exactly how accidents occur in the tunnel (save for issues with the vehicle) is beyond me.

Haha didn't that guy get his license suspended and is being tagged as "oldest hoon" ?

Nah that was some 81 y/o bloke doing 101 km/hr through the tunnel in the 'crackdown' a few months ago.

There's a section of road in the hills between Karragullen & Kalamunda, can't remember the name but it's winding and fun. In spring/summer you could mistake it for a European road it's just so very picturesque. Must be the vinyards.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
