Except cops in XR6 turbos wanting to know who we were, where we were from, what we were doing, where we were heading, what we were waiting for, what happened and when we were heading home.

Stupid fella. We just said that ska had a flat tyre and we were fixing it :D

Yeah, I reckon that xr6 was a cop for sure......he just had that look about him. I'm sure it's the same xr6 turbo that had someone pulled over on the side of the service road in Springwood a couple of weeks ago.

I did say to someone at the time...."I think that was a cop", and he said naaahhhh, just some guy.

Too many questions (and cop type ones at that) for joe blow.

It *WAS* a cop. I used to be a public servant for the Queensland Police Service and I can tell you now, that car was a cop car.

Stupid me also turned down a job at the traffic camera office so I could get out of the public service. I feel very stupid now :D

Heh, everyone used to reckon I was a cop... Until they saw the way I drove. They forgot about that theory pretty quickly :D

There were some pro's to working in the police service. But a lot of the stuff you heard was all secret squirrel... SO yeah.

Bet you're kicking yourself now.

Man, once you get into the public service, you're set for life LOL, the government gravy train!!

OK People got a hold of a pretty crappy camera and took some pics of my bent up bits, if you can even see them in the pics, Anyway it looks like there's more bent than just the lower control arm, bit of the steering, the bit that sticks out the side of the rack, plus various other bits of metal I have no clue the name of which I dont know if they are bent, or just normally like that :D any suggestions, other than getting a better quality camera?

Pics are quite large so I'll just post a link, those who are interested can have a squiz:

Thanks.

Yeah niether could I, stupid peice of crap, Well I suggest the next Thursday meeting start off at my place so I can get someone who knows what they are looking at tell me what i need to replace. :D

There is nothing worse then going out and buying parts, just to get it up on a hoist and reaise you need more bits! :|

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
