The Sa Wasteland

[Import S13]

do you have a rough idea when Kye?

ill let you know ruffly in a week or 2 but a few months away as i think i have to go to singapore for training and perth tomorrow for training so finish that and ill arrange something

We have talked about an SAU:SA drift day, but there are only 6 or so drifters on SAU, so around 20 people short for a private day. But apart from that, nearly all of them won't even pony up the whole $30 per annum to support the club, so it is pretty much off the table of events ....

lol sorry, im already a member of another club to get my cams before sau sa got going and i think chad is too

only reason why i dont

EDIT: plus i paid more then $30 haha so sau sa would have been the go before hand. get drift events going and ill join when my membership runs out from the other club

no worries dude, the drift calender is fairly busy for august so sep oct would be good

[Nightcrawler]

Mallala is $4,500 for the day from memory - so if you had 10 people, are you going to come up with $450 each? Maybe not

Sounds like the Tailem Bend track is the new go, and there are plenty of track days already being organised down there .... bloody long tow home when you break something though!

And in funny news

[craig R33]

yes, i private drift day is like 360 ish, so 10-12 cars.

[heslo]

Sounds about right there Craig...

yeah i dont think it would be before then man.

i know theres a few track days being done now with the new track but the chances of me being back during those days are slim so ill just be arranging my own private days, but the more track days the better

and yeah i think its 12 people for drift

I agree with most of those rules, however it says

"Nominated High Performance Vehicles" which >could< be abused by the authorities if they don't bring out a set of guidelines to determine what is and is not a high performance vehicle..."

Interesting to note, a 1.3lt mini with a supercharger will be prohibited even tho it has a very low power output...

Aside from that, I'm all for youngsters getting banned from high performance vehicles on the road - I hope that it encourages younger petrolheads to get on the track and go nuts there while developing some skills

i know a bunch of you are under 25 and are responsible, hardcore enthusiasts but its one of those cases where the dickheads have screwed up so often that the inevitable conclusion is more police scrutiny and higher insurance premiums - which nobody wants...

i guarantee these "special exemptions" that will be issued wont be a walk in the park to get, and there'll be a flag like anything on them.

i do agree with dohmar's point, but its true, the majority have ruined it for the minority

another interesting note, turbo diesels are not part of the exemption, except one

VW golf TDI

I think it'd be relatively easy for anyone under 25 with a so called 'performance vehicle' to get an exemption based upon the fact they've already purchased the vehicle before the legislation was approved or publicised - I doubt they'll be forcing people to sell their cars just to qualify for a new law (ie i doubt the law will be retroactively enforced). Just hope the majority of you sensible people out there get your P1/2's before the nominated date, otherwise the next couple of years are going to be a pain in the arse..

[jrm]

Ahhh ... one of the few times it's good to be old .. cheaper insurance & can have a chuckle at the youngsters still on their L's n P's (and the laws the governments introduce every coupla years making it more and more difficult for them ...)

[skwiz]

im on my P1's until i turn 21. then P2's for 6 months i think it is. THEN full licence. stupid things.

[Madaz]

amen to that sister

my excess is like $400 and my premium is $800 with Just Cars

[dark.sky]

I was on P's when I first bought the R32. Got my full licence when I was 19.

[Weezy]

I lost my f**king license, so when I f**king get my f**king license back, does that mean I'll not be aloud to drive my f**king Sil80 on the f**king street because I would have gotten then back way after September even though I've been driving turbo cars since I was f**king 16?

[skwiz]

im with just car.

2k excess if its my fault, $1800 if it isnt my fault. $1400 per annum.

how old are u?

I think you'd be able to find some caveat somewhere

unless you've lost ur licence for the 2nd time...

-D

Edit - for comparison, I'm on $1450 premium with $1k excess, age 31, rating 1, stock(ish) gtr valued at $30k

[jrm]

I'm 32, and paying Shannons about $1350 for my R34 GTT ($500 excess) with an agreed value of $27K. I've listed the relatively mods for my car (exhaust, braided brake lines, suspension, GTR MFD, stereo), though it didn't seem to increase premiums much.

.. I would imagine the new SA system - like other states - is going to have cavaets around the exemptions for people who already own cars before the rules came into place. For the most authoritative answer, give Transport SA a call - they'll know for sure.

i swear a whole lot, and even i rolled my eyes at that.

chill pill.

there will undoubtedly be a condition where if you owned the car before the laws came into effect, youll be exempt.
