Just an immature observation from me, but sometimes I have trouble getting past the emotional side of this thought: Cameras govern/enforce restrictions placed on us because we don't trust ourselves...and we pay people using our money...to use our money...to do this to us. Clever thing this government business :ninja:

This is gonna suck. The way things are going with noise laws and such, we're going to have to ride bicycles everywhere... and even then they'll try and find something to complain about and waste money on enforcing :P

Yeah, but then they will be cracking down on spokie dokies and moon wheels... at least on bikes the revenue could come from under 18's as well :ninja:

There's to many variances with this how do they count for wind, echo off a near by fence, building that happening near by, bass coming from a near by house party a dog sitting near by and farting.

Not only just that when it's muggy sound doesn't travel as far but when it's a clear day with wind traveling in the direction of the unit sound will travel further and how will they deal with dirt build up.

This has just got scam all over it

Sounds like your expecting them to be honest with these tests, this is the same as the road side db tests they do, you know, the ones that are meant to be done in a controlled enviroment but are done with traffic 5 feet away and the probe right in the exhaust, let's not forget that this is a police state.

Speed red light and noise cameras??? You lot dont half have it easy trust me!!!!!

Try traffic wardens that actually give you a parking ticket for being stuck in a traffic jam yes thats right stuck in a traffic jam!!!!

Police that will fine you for wipping your nose at the wheel and put points on your licence

A government that has just passed a law that means that even if you are found innocent in a court of law you CAN NOT reclaim ANY costs, forcing you to take an easy option and pleed guilty. Unless you are prepaired to lose a lot of money.

Oh its also an offensence to move an egg if told not to buy a person of authority yes this is true an egg and this cost tax payers almost 1million pounds to pass through this legislation

Having to pay road tax every 6 moths or year average $400 as well as an mot every year average $100 just for the test and there sure as hell going to find something wrong so you can add in cost of repair and insurance that also has a Government tax added to ALL policies average $1000

Having esculator tax on fuel meaning the price goes up every 6months 2p per lt above the rate of inflation or something like this. The current price per lt is $2.10 equivalant over 75% of that is tax

coppers that fine you for having incorrect size number plates when they them self dont actually no the law on imports and you would be silly to argue it even if you are innocent remember you carnt claim any costs back even if you are innocent.

Dvla standards that contradict the law so most mots are not worth the paper there written on

Your car can be impounded and/or crushed under section 56 if it is seen by the copper to be being coursing alarm harrasment and or distress. One guy had his car impounded because he was stopped twice because he was lost this caused alarm to the police officers.

Thats just for starters dont get me started on black spot cameras that actually course accidents and average speed cameras that dont work if you change lanes yet will flash you if stuck in a traffic jam doing an average speed of 2mph yes 2mph

so yeah i think you have it easy

Tuff one that

Best thing you can do imo is to out all the pc bollox and do gooders as they will only drag you down to your knees

This appears to be one of the biggest problems in the UK damn do gooders that think a mass murderer has human rights!!! Wrong they forfitted them as soon as they committed the crime.

And pass law after law that make it harder to get rid of them once there in and only protect the minority not the majority

Common sence gets my vote maybe a party should be set up along these lines??? Dont no how hard or easy it is to do that here but sorry to keep refeering back to it but in the UK we have almost been conditioned to do 12hrs a day 6 days a week to servive that means theres only one day left and whos going to want to set up a party too apose the opposition on there day off.... no one!!!! Hence why I think there will be a split government this election back home cos nobody has the energy and carnt be arsed

one key thing i get quite annoyed about is many people moan about it on the internet send a few jokes about it in emails and text your friends about it but dont actually do anything about it. What message dose that give out.

Actively stand up and do something about it and vote out your local pm if he or the party are being a plonkers (If thats how it works here) and tell him there being plonkers and the only way to get your vote back is to listen to what you want (hard because everyone whats differant things) although like i said i would think a party based on common sence would a good starting point.

Of course these are my views based on the UK i have no idea how it works here but from what ive seen so far id be fighting tooth and nail to stop it falling in to down ward spiral of doom and gloom that Britain has become.

TRUCKERS whose noisy rigs disturb the peace will be snapped by new noise cameras and risk having their registrations suspended.

The Victorian Government has announced the noise camera system to monitor heavy vehicles in a bid to reduce excessive truck noise on the state's roads.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
