I spotted a high speed chase going around my street tonight. some guy in a BA XR8 was trying to outrun 2 cop cars, although he seemed to have sustained a fair amount of damage to the rear of his car, and was missing his rear right tyre. he was grinding the rim along the road while revving the guts out of it to keep going. it was pretty cool, but i live in a circuit, so he went past my house, came out the other end of the circuit, then decided to go around again. the cops split up, obviously trying to stop him at both ends, but he just went around them, then spun out, kept it going and went down the street. i think they finally caught him down on kingsford smith drive, but it was still pretty cool. the noise was horrific, grinding rim and revving V8 combined with the 2 police sirens. i'm sure we'll read about it in the paper tomorrow or see it on TV

hahaha thats crazy!

I was wondering why they blocked off the entrance, they'd only do that if something major was going on.

I kinda crapped myself when i read that coz my brother drives a BA XR8 and just after i saw the cops i saw him having a bit of a run against some bogun ute...

All good, wasnt him haha

Yeah, i don't leave it out anymore, always in the garage. It used to live outside for a bit before the garage was cleaned out. i was a bad owner :sick:

I remember seeing your car going past a bit, i'd always look out the window and drool. lol.

i dunno, but i had my car parked on the street and i watched this guy fishtail past it with no rear tyres. there's an awesome line coming up the road now from the rim digging into the road. i wouldn't think you'd try and outrun the cops if you'd just stolen a car. i saw the guy in the car as he went past, he was all suited up. He didn't really look like the sort of person who would steal a car.

lol, they just mentioned it on the news update, they said the suspect rammed 2 police vehicles and got away, he is armed and dangerous and not to be approached if seen but to contact the police immediately.. His name is David McGloclan i tihnk, must be in the belco area somewhere..

It was a BA GT... my bf saw the car smashed up on the side of the road, then spoke to the cops about it - they said to look out for a guy in a white tracksuit (haha!!)

anyway they seem to have got him this arvo, finally...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
