well in regards to this topic i read in the daily telegraph yesterday or the day before that the Cessna hasn't even left the ground. Because of the bad weather its been grounded meaning it hasn't even made the government any money yet :P

I know I am necro-ing an old post, but I saw the plane in action on Jan 2nd or whatever day it is that everyone heads from Sydney to Can'tberra for Summernats... flying low above the Hume near Cambotown...

The used to have the lines on the road, but in the news reports when they announced they were re-starting the P!gs in Space force they mentioned new technology, so I assumed they were now using laser or radar...

It is actually a good deterent to speeding, because you never know if you are safe... lots of drivers just slow down for the permanent cameras and then speed up (like I do :banana: ) or rely on their 'lightning quick reactions' to see and slow down for a car with a hair dryer... at least P!gs in Space actually slow down drivers all the time...

My old Scout Leader used to fly the original plane (he is a cop and a pilot), and actually not a bad bloke... he was Air Wing, not Highway Patrol, so that might explaing why he wasn't a tnuc... and he never tried to penetrate my arse or anyone I know either (just getting in before some other smart arse does :()...

OK they're operating now on the M4.

The flight path is such that whatever direction you're taking E or W, the little plane is slightly to your left when going the same direction as yourself.

I just sit in lane #2 now and watch 2/3 of the world go by.

Q. So how many speed violaters has this plane caught in 4 months?

A. 16 and counting...

Some of you far-sighted SAUers can now say, "I told you so"

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
