There's no hypocrisy here mate, you cannot compare the two. A blow off valve and an intercooler never killed anyone. A drunk driver doing 80km/h over the speed limit on the otherhand...

Caught person doing 140-160+ in 80 Zone who also went more than double the alcohol limit. The Drink driving ban is canceled out by the speeding ban. Impound, 1100 in fines and no driving for 12 months.

Lucky for him he didn't kill anyone. I'm glad I was doing laser duties when things were quiet and now have him off the road!

He wants to contest it saying his Honda Jazz doesn't go that fast.

I thought DD was longer than 11months?

birds piss off.

And that, is where bozodos exits the thread :D

60-80K over and wasted....very good work wanker!

I can't stand drink driving, I wouldn't do it myself, I wouldn't let my family get away with it, so I suppose I expect everyone else to give a shit and not do it

birds piss off. if you think that most people on here have never driven in a dangerous or stupid manner, you're having yourself on.

Like I said, there's been no context given to the situation.

I understand where your coming from, if the driver was

caught doing 160km/h on a country freeway late at night with no traffic to test out his new car it something then maybe abit of sympathy however over 0.05 aswell, it's clearly absolute wreckless

behaviour and no sympathetic way to look at it

but AGAIN THERE IS NO CONTEXT TO THE FACTS THAT WERE GIVEN IN THE ORIGINAL POST.

Graeme, feel free to elaborate on teh story?

Could have been someone who'd had a big night and woken up with a hangover thinking they would be alright to drive etc etc.

how does that make it acceptable for the 60-80km over the limit?

and most people should know even after you sleep there is still some traces of alcohol in the body

just accept his in the wrong, its coming from a police officers mouth, that caught him

i dont know bozo and dont like him cos he posts fat chicks everywhere, but he is right.

not baggin out graeme (think thats his name) but he posts shit up and everyone strokes his knob its fkn pathetic.. cos tomorrow you'll be calling em dogs for doing you for something ridiculous.

i've driven a jazz if it could do 140 id be impressed.. bloody weatbix boxes..

What sort of context would make this behaviour acceptable then? Theres no way anyone with half a brain could wake up at double the legal alcohol limit and seriously believe they are fine to drive, let alone do 60-80kph over the speed limit and try to worm out of it with pathetic excuses.

Short of him trying to rush someone in a life/death situation to hospital, theres not much he could do/say that would invoke any sympathy from me or hopefully the judge that takes his case.

Could have been someone who'd had a big night and woken up with a hangover thinking they would be alright to drive etc etc.

Do you say this in a way to excuse the person? If so... Nothing really against you, but my general view on this: I know people who go out and have a big night, then they think that because they slept for 3 hours and now the sun is out they must be safe. I think you'd have to be pretty dumb to be innocenly ignorant of the obvious.

Also, I think that the risk of the effect of alchohol is far more severe and unpredictable than that of speeding. If alchohol is involved in any kind of way.... then grrrrr. Speeding on the other hand, still stupid, but slightly controllable in certain instances.

I did 140 in an 88 Corolla once... down a hill... so no impossible for the Jazz :D

yeah i'm trying to bash the point into some very thick skulls that we don't know the whole story therefore perhaps should not be so quick to rush to judgement. I'm not trying to mock Graeme, he seems like a pretty cool guy and dosen't afraid of anything.

It was about 4am and he was on his way home from being out at club in the city. His alcohol reading was on the increase. He was speeding simply because he wanted to get home faster.

I followed him at speed up to 160-165 which was going downhill then but then he started to slow down as approaching Stud Road, which he barely stopped and ended up almost in middle of intersection. I was amazed that he even slowed down for that.

To be "fair" I just called his speed at 140 which he was well over but I followed/tried to catch up to him at 150-170 for about 2-3 km.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
