In the Sun today:

The Nissan Skyline has emerged as Melbourne's noisiest car in a police blitz on ear-splitting vehicles.

Over 1360 Environment Protection Authority notices have been issued in the first five days of the Operation Pipedown crackdown. Other main modified offenders were Subaru Imprezas, Holden utes and Honda Civics and Integras

Yer honestly I would have been suprised if lines were not number one.

Only a matter of days until prime time news starts talking about "a hoon has been caught at 14.8dB Over in the early hours of the morning"

.......meanwhile most of Victoria's population are too scared to be in our city after dark !

Well of course, how could the labour govt afford more police when they've pissed so much up against the wall on Myki and other disasters?

Maybe this can of worms should stay closed?!

more good news

I wanted to email you about an important community safety announcement I made today with the Minister for Police, Bob Cameron and the Attorney General, Rob Hulls.

I am very pleased to let you know that our Government will deliver 1,966 additional frontline police over the next five years, to make our streets and our communities even safer.

View a video of the announcement

This is the biggest single one-off boost to police numbers in Victorian history.

Investing in more police is the best way to keep our communities safe – and our Government has a strong track record of delivering on its promises to increase numbers of frontline police. Between 1999 and the end of 2006, 1400 additional police were added to Victoria Police – and the Government is well on its way to delivering the 350 additional police promised at the last election.

On top of this, earlier this year we provided an extra 120 police officers to the force so Chief Commissioner Overland could establish the new Operational Response Unit.

And this is getting results - Victoria’s crime rate has fallen 25.5 per cent since 2000/01.

Police have also been given additional powers to tackle crime with tougher powers to randomly search people for knives and other weapons, tougher powers to move or ban troublemakers from entertainment precincts and some of the toughest anti-hoon laws in Australia.

Details of this announcement can be found at: http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/component/co...icle/10155.html

Victoria is the safest State in Australia, but we want to drive down crime even further, so that Victorians not only are safe, but they feel safe.

John Brumby

Premier of Victoria

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
