Sad night comming in st ives down eastern arterial lost 4 points and officer didnt believe that i was gettin chased :D

Not double demerits luckily but on red Ps ive lost 3 before hand thats -3 points from a 4 point total license ie 7 altogether..

They were bloody ****y the officers and wen i asked for advice next time they gave me sarcastic and stupid remarks, but i cant write that in the letter if im wanting to get off it

Dale, I'm afraid that you are learning the hard way mate.

Take your speeding to the track - it's much more fun - less dangerous and cheaper in the long run !

If you were being chased you should have pulled over into a highly populated area with lots of lights, or servo or something rang the cops on your mobile -

000 is your friend !

Why were you being chased anyway ? I grew up in St Ives lived there for 15 odd years - and I nerver saw any of this sort of behaviour. I also drive through there regularly on my way to stuff - and to visit my oldies. So my thinking is that there must have been some sort of reason as to why you were being chased.

If you were really being chased you would be too glad your limbs are all still attached rather than carrying on about losing your licence.

As Brendan said it sounds like you're learning the hard way. There are rules, break them and there are consequences. "but but, I have an HSC exam to drive to" doesn't cut it, if I was a magistrate who heard that I'd tell you to catch the bus. You should have gone to a lit area, a cop shop, a servo or called the cops. What will speeding do if you get chased? The chaser will speed too. Now you have two cars screaming through the streets - it's probably the dumbest thing you can do, no offence. You're still young and learning, just make sure you DO learn or you'll just continue making life more difficult than it needs to be.

As for 17 year olds doing 30km/h above the limit in a suburban area, I don't approve of that at all. There's a reason why you've lost 7 points, and it's not "because life's unfair". Think about it.

No "live and learn" comments from me mate... You already know that. We all went through the same trials and tribulations with speeding fines when we were younger.

(Geez, I sound like an old fart)

Cliffnotes: Bummer. Don't expect your letter to do anything as it's not your first offence, and that's a pretty lame excuse I'm sure the Police and the Magistrates have heard countless times hs.gif

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
