No he is not, if you believe Boostcruising.

APPARENTLY, that vehicle was sold as a full race car last year, after he made that 'audition tape'. It is no longer registered to that owner.

So helping to track him down will be hard for ACA :P , if this is indeed true.

Carlo sold the RB26 S14 in 2008 after the audition tape was made. The guy who bought it was caught doing some rediculous speed in it shortly after. It was a pretty big story at the time too. Its now a track car.

Completely agree that unless the road was closed off this guy deserves anything and everything coming his way - if anything does.

Who cares how old the story is, why it was done.

Would you like to be in a car coming in the opposite direction with kids in the back seat?

FFS, if i want to audition to become Ferrari's next test driver is it ok to do a top speed run down the Hume to mail to them?

ACA are a bunch of wanks no doubt about it, but if the road was not closed off, ACA weren't the ones thinking they're the next DK from FnF Tokyo Drift.

From what I have read on a couple of different forums, it was closed off. Not legally, but the road was blocked so there would be no traffic.

Oh then thats OK. Did they have a sign saying 'Stig audition in Progress' ??

I get the feeling that from his confidence in drifting across double lines and the simple matter of not seeing any other cars in the video, the road was blocked off...illegally, however, as no police or council in their right mind would assist with this surely when this tool could have just gone to a racetrack and done the same thing in a much safer environment. He says his name and shows his registation plates etc. but I'm certain that would all be done on the assumption the firm he sent the audition tape to wasn't going to release his details to anyone else (e.g. police). I'd say the guy was just a dumbass and so is ACA.

What is also stupid is the assumption that drifters who do their thing on the racetrack have never done it on public roads. You have to learn it somewhere and most of the time that's where it starts...tail slides and burnouts on the street. I think there'd be very few who could actually say they learnt how on a racetrack.

Statute of limitations.

Video and the acts therein are 2yrs+ old.

and instead of channel 7 sticking the knife into ACA they stand by their track record and attempt to sink the knife into Top Gear the TV show. Cue interview with random bogan "concerned parent", random facebook quotes with no sources mentioned and rent an expert. wankers the lot of them.

YAY for ACA justice! Let's chop up some vids stick it together to manipulate the truth then get an angry mob fired up and turn it into a witch hunt! Salem witch hunt 21st centry style! YAY!

Seriously I can't stand Australian UK or US media reports. There is more truth in North Korea than all these put together!

well tbqh you've got to get your news from more than one source and then synthesize the outcomes for yourself to get a realistic picture of what is happening in the world around you. the problem is that this is time consuming, and most people CBF.

LOL @ them using Facebook quotes as evidence of some sort of car enthusiast culture supporting the kid in the video and having people read them out in shitty voices. I'd be more trustworthy of a rattlesnake than any current affairs program.

yeah but it seems with teh amount of old people growing they seem more ready to accept crap like this. I'm glad I was brought up to not blindly follow what I heard or saw in the media.

Unfortunately there isn't any popularised forum where this stuff can be exposed; I would imagine that Media Watch's ratings would be minimal (though they get good reactions out of those that they blast!)

The voices they used in the facebook qoutes are halarious. And the old guy talking about hoons on his street, $100 says the street they showed with all the tyre marks wasn't even his street and they told the guy what to say for the camera. No way that guy could string together those sentences.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
