Hear and see a old Commo wagon tearing it up past my house, tyre screeching and all and I think wtf.

5 secs later an undercover cover rips past giving chase.

Fcking A lol.

Commodore driver ain't stopping either.

Sounds very exciting over your place.

Had the perfect view as well. House being a corner block seeing them drifto around the corner.

I cant hear no heli.

You in Springvale atm? They were heading in that direction. Car decided to turn down the small streets instead of exiting at Springvale Road.

You enjoyed the action?

Made my night.

Commo driver needed new tyres though. Was still wheelspinning 15m from corner exit. Just sayin.

Im near bunnings atm. hahahaha.

lol at nick.

You spend so much time over the South-east you may as well move over this end. Do da right fing.

interesting leigh!

the car was running 118's @ full weight, anyone know enough about boring/pointless/homo drag racing to derive a rwkw figure from that?

FWIW i ran consistent 119's with 325rwkw @ 1350kg

Different power delivery would mean different MPH, F6s same weight and run much higher MPH for a similar time. There's a lot of discussion about the low MPH on the ford forums. Still sounds like the only way to prove actual rwkw would be a SAU dyno day lol care for a wager? :P

Doubt he/she'll have the coin to purchase new tyres once the po-po got a hold of him/her.

Hamish ur car stats, Give or take up to .3-.4 on the quarter @ those speeds for certain tracks dependant on how much above sea level.

these calculations are not gospel but approx

This also doesn't take into consideration diff gears, torque etc obviously.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
