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*

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!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
