Do any of you guys know that the police classify us in groups. They range from A to E and are based on enthinicity and car make. For example I was cat E as one cop put it to me a wog boy with a Nissan. I think cat A was Malay/Indonesian with a Toyota as so on.

Charming innit?

bahahaha, there was NO mention of drifting on the news at all.. it was about street racing and burnouts, and it was all clueless **** as usuall from the media.

Article in todays(wednesdays) west australian as well on it. Had **** footage of some crap vl's single spinning etc. I usually go there every thursday night and its no where near as bad as they make it out to be.. its usuall police sucking at their reall job so lets target a minority group(modified car owners) and hassle them.

Goto love it..

PS, i was 1 of those "40"(i'd say more) defect noticed vehicles

PPS got it over same way few days later.

I commented, but I dont go to these events for the simple reason, why would i go out of my way to get a yellow sticker ? (operation "canary") anyone else find that a tad 'odd ?

The cops use yellow stickers as a deterrent only, to get people to stay away from certain places, and hey, guess what, most cases it works.

They're more than likely creating a hazard for Mr. Joe Public on his way home from a nice dinner with the family in the back.

That's my 2c. I'm just commenting on how a few individuals have given the majority of enthusiasts a bad name.... bleh!

trev's!! *grabs flame retardant jacket*

:confused:

haha usuall trevs comment.. another typicaly uniformed person it seems.. check the footage, various imports are there, infact theres a large proportion of import drivers at these events.. :P

*end flame*

As for ausing hassle for joe public.. how? we fill up a carpark after work hours, we do not block roads that get used by general public at late night etc.. as for yellows hows that a deterent? most people i know that got yellow now have just got permits instead and will be back. :D

Fact remains it will always happen to why make a fuss over it, noise pollution i hear joe citizen shout.. i'm sorry but we park next to a 6 lane hwy that takes trucks from most of WA into the fremantle port etc. Media and police blow all these events out of proportion ina vain attempt to make it look like they are doing something constructive. pretty sad imho

I agree the media defiantly blow this stuff out of proportion...but what can you do.

The police have made a statement saying they are going to crack down on the meetings or whatever so if you continue to go and get yellows or whatever than thats your own fault.

If people ARE racing around endagering others well then those d*ckheads deserve to be busted by the cops..... as much as i like cars etc there is no need to endanger people on a VERY busy road.

Heya Summoner i do agree with what you have said however I am just not sure about the above comment about not Hassling and not blocking public roads, however from the footage from channel 7 it seemed as though it was on Leach Hwy. I live near Joondalup so i don't know too much about that area however when i do go down there it looks pretty busy to me.

I would have thought that Leach Hwy is a public road and is used by Trucks etc late at night???

It's not too responsible of me to say this but it is pretty cool watching some of the stuff but would it be better to find a more further out place than Leach Hwy?

****burn Ice Arena is normally pretty desolate, i used to play Ice hockey down there and after 10pm that place is a ghost town... just a suggestion thats all....

Each to their own thats all as long as innocent people don't get hurt i think is all that matters!

      Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

      Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.

      The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.

      Belt flex under throttle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
