man they always have the booze bus's in Ringwood... I should know, they are mostly down the end of my street....

There were so many cops on Maroondah Hwy that night... I was on it from Nuna to Ringwood... in the change of 2 suburbs I saw 3 cop cars (2 undercover) with ppl pulled over... + the booze bus...

Clearly if this bloke had any brains he would not have been driving....

1 thing I dont get though is that when they normally get these guys, they leave their cars on the median strip and normally pick them up the next day... how did he get his car in 2 hours? surely the bus wouldn't have finished by then....

hate that it makes the area look shitty...

hardly as bad as drink driving! plus its only my weekender and dont have long left on my ps :D

Still you are breaking the law. Or is it "it's only illegal if i get caught" ? :D

But that's not the point here....

Hopefully ( we all know it won't happen ) if this gets enough media attention, maybe just maybe, they'll make an example of this person.

don't forget that tabloid journalism like that seen in the Hun is half the reason why we car enthusiasts get victimised.

You know the drill... the minority spoil it for the majority. Take for example yesterday I was parked legally outside my mum's place for breakfast. Low and behold a police car drives past fairly quickly and I think nothing of it. Then five minutes later the same police car drives past and stops blocking my mum's driveway. There isn't anything wrong with the way i'm parking and my car isn't on fire, being towed, stolen or crushed. Yet they sit there for a few minutes. When they left I was thinking damn it I should have set my alarm off they were that close to my car.

It's days like that I just want to swap her for a Excel.

Slightly of topic.

If we buy infamous cars then we can expect the attention. They were probably just running your plates, or maybe a similar car had been reported stolen.

Although half the cops in my town think my car IS just a kitted Excel...

    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
