Anyone know anymore about this?

Heard on the radio that yesterday a 17 year old (on his P's) got caught doing 170km/h on the Tuggeranong parkway.

Lost his licence and got slapped with a $1500 fine !!

They only said that the 17 year old was driving a high horse power car, no mention of it being an import etc which is good !!

An 18-year-old provisional (P-plate) licensed-driver found his lunchtime speeding hijinks in a new V8 sedan expensive in more ways than one today.

Plainclothes detectives on patrol in an unmarked police car on the Tuggeranong Parkway clocked the P-plated driver at speeds of up to 170km/h before intercepting him and pulling him over shortly before 1pm.

Investigating officers said the teen driver, off from college at lunchtime, was issued with a traffic infringement notice which cost him $1515.

"He has also lost his license," said Senior Constable Dennis Apps.

that kind of speed(the first thing) happens all the time in sydney.

i have 2 friends that have been done 172KM in 90 zone

and 155km in 80 zone

and they were on red p`s without p plates on the car and with no manual licence(auto only)

they got a $1700 fine but only lost the p`s for 5 months.....

Ha, so the guy was from Tuggers college? That's pretty funny. I know a guy who tried to speed in his mini in the same area. Got up to 130km/h or so, but he didnt get caught. Quite an achievment for a 1 litre engine :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
