Hi peoples there may be some interesting viewing on Today tonight this evening concerning car hoons, I noticed in the ad that they were crushing a commodore. Oh, whats tha,t not all hoons drive imports.... really....

If it was in Vic, more than 44% of Hoon cars confiscated down there are Holdens.

"The most common makes of car impounded by Victoria Police are – Holden (46.3 per cent); Ford (16.7); Nissan (7.8); Toyota (5.1); and Honda (4.3)."

So there you have it. Commodore drivers really are the biggest hoons...

look @ all the bogan comments... left on the website.

their so into crushing cars... woohooo yeah blow it up! crush it! get him! thatll show him!

even the vote states we should crush more cars lol.

Whats next? crushing garages? or houses of 'hoons'?

Although it was just a holden "extreme lol"... it still doesnt make any sense.

Destroying someones property as simple as a car to proove a point only has a negative effect i believe. Preschooler methods.

All of today tonights carpark should be crushed. Whats the bet they speed out of there after work everyday anyway. :)

Idiocracy.

^^^ I think the term is called, "...to make an example of..."

which is also a way that the state government can take advantage of the media to create publicity...

as...

i) a warning to pea-brain peasants with little d/cks to NOT hoon with them; or the gov't will hoon with YOU and...

ii) a show to the rest of us pea-brain peasants (in the government's eyes) that they're in charge of 'law 'n order' !

... to try to counteract a negative action with a negative solution is only going to provide a negative result ...

... if they spent half the money on crushing the car & spent it on educating the driver with positive ideals theyd be twice as far ahead by now ...

... current affairs programmes like today tonight feed off this kind of negativity & fob it off as news

... i wouldnt waste any of my precious time on this planet watching any of those ridiculous programmes

... i cant anyway ... i havnt had any form of tv signal/cable in my house for over 10 years

... cant say i miss any of it ... :nyaanyaa: ...

Fact of the matter is that some dickheads in this world only understand two things. Fear and pain. Unfortunately long gone are the days where beating sense into someone is publicly accepted so fear must be used to get people to pull their heads in.

I'm all for crushing someone's car for repeat offences. Education will have little to no effect on someone who doesn't care for the rules in the first place. Sure, they can always just buy anouther car, but it all costs money.

Guy wasn't even allowed to remove his custom grille. I am outraged.

Besides, how do we even know if the car wasn't permanently confiscated to be sold?

If that's so, nobody would buy that thing, so the council/govt buys it for a meager $300, then crushes it to make this point.

"We want to crush the spirits of hoons. And er we're we, we will be introducing er, new laws shortly."

NOW A VT COMMODORE IS DEAD YOU BASTARDS. :/

Well the word ''Hoon" is starting to become extremely loosely used now.

So maybe you should surrender your car over to the crusher next time you speed over 1km

because thats whats its going to end up turning into.

A more extreme law of what it already is. Thats what happens to dumb laws.

Nahhh they'll just strap a black box under the car loaded with C4 and a GPS tracker and as soon as you exceed the speed limit for the current road you are on, BOOOOM!!!!

On the up side it would stop traffic congestion :P

Honestly, IF they made the laws as strict as that, I'd simply modify my driving in order to keep my car from becoming a Nissan Cube. To get enjoyment out of my car I'd take ever opportunity to go to the track or skid pan to go excessively fast and/or rip skids. Come to think of it... that's what I do now...

Fortunately here in reality, the likelihood of laws that strict being introduced is very low. The public outcry would be enough to topple the law over should the governing body concerned conjure up the balls to introduce it.

My driving record is as tainted as anyone else's, but the difference is that if and when I get caught breaking the law, I accept that I was breaking the law, pay the fine / do the time, learn from my mistake and try not to do it again. At the end of the day it isn't the law enforcer's fault that I broke the law... it was mine.

I dont believe in crushing proven hoon cars !

Thats a shamefull waste of great resource and in some cases very nice cars !

I think they should be put up to auction and the proceeds go back in to lower Green Slip insurance costs for everyone !

I believe you should have the right to buy it back if you want after you get your licence back etc etc

After all its a free country ! . . . . well sort of ! . . . . . Nah not really ! ! !

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
