wish i could get that in a bumper sticker

This can be arranged....

I had an older HWY patrol cop pull me over once, surprisingly was one of the nicer cops i've come across, gave the usual wrap and said 'these cars are pretty quick hey'

couldn't help but smile at that.

I was driving to work lazily last sunday afternoon.

Shortly after witnessing a policeman dive out from behind a car and radar the Holden Astra in front of me, a group of what I can only describe as bumpkins driving a massively lifted hilux with "RM Williams" stickers all over it and various other "country" paraphernalia drove up beside me and said "top bloke".

following this,

As they were diverting to another lane the same guy started to yell "hey wanke..." but before he could finish his sentence, I leaned oppressively out my window whilst maintaining my speed of 60km along Roma street here in Brisbane (Read: one of the busiest in queensland) and proceeded to hail them.

I Screamed "Go suck a f**king dick top bloke" so loudly they heard me probably 400m away, the guy looked stunned, pulled his head back in his window and they drove off.

I'm dedicating this to you, the men of fire and steel of SAU !

and Yes Terry, Definitely Spartacus :P

lol

you do get those on occasion

hows this for cliche..

Im out back of bumf*k idaho today and mate asks me to drive him down to this caravan park to do something he had to do. So i roll down there, cruise into this park where there's clapped out falcadores everywhere ,with all the yokels looking at me ,no sure if it was disgust,envy or whats that doin here ,when this guy comes out to have a look at my car..

"awww, shes a skoiliner, awww, and its a manual noice, is it a turbo?"..

I thought of this thread and somehow managed to contain my laughter :whistling:

sounds like some inbreading going on in that place.

"Most highway patrol officers appreciate a nice V8. If you get pulled over in one of those, it's more likely to be because they want to have a closer look at it," he says

Such disappointing comments...

What an absolute crock of shit, Stephen Lacey you are a useless human being.

I've been pulled over in an import before, where a cops sisters husbands motherinlaw aka his mother simply had a 32 gtr previously and simply wanted to check it out.

Then again a mates mates mates mates friends of his sisters uncles brother's v8 was pulled over by a copper because he didnt like V8's.

Do yourself a favour and have read of the comments, they are hilarious. So much hate, mostly for the toyota camry. After reading all these comments no wonder our road system is so screwed!

I enjoyed them too, whenever I end up behind a Camry at the front of a set of lights my god do they take off slow, the semi in the left lane next to them hit 60km/h before the Camry did.

I like it when the bogans know their place, I was driving along sunnyholt road & a p plater VZ passenger rolled down his window & said "so ya reckon this is faster than a commodore mate? Still a P.O.S"

I couldn't stop laughing I gave him a thumbs up :laugh:

Only been pulled over once in Sydney in 9months. Was pulled over on my first day for a drug check. After that....nothing.

In Brisbane I got pulled over about once per month. Simply because there is so much more breath testing and "random" car checks. Never got defected though, but got the height measured a few times, told to lift the bonnet, "is this turbo", "is this stock", etc etc.

So I think I'm saying that cops in Brisbane will pull you over MUCH more than in Sydney if the past 9 months are anything to go by.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
