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...

Normally,I'm quick to jump to the 'natural selction' defence when people put themselves into a stupid predicament,but how bad must life have to seem to top oneself? Sad...

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
