I meant more along the lines of having the phone in his face recording and reqesting him to re-test the height while you record

Well I was going too but he was debating whether or not to give me the High-Powered Vehicle fine for P Plates. I had my reasons for it and he eventually conceded that he wouldn't give me the fine. Fancy that, stiffing Pettett on a fine he so desperately wants to hand out. Still pissed though, don't get that fine so instead he reams me for a legal height car but still have to get a rwc. He's as big of a toss pot as people say he is, came up to my window and just took my license and didn't say anything. Absolute rude prick.

martin, if I were you i'd check out all the Arabs that live in your street to see if any of them are from Oman, and from that point, it's gotta be a 99% chance you have the pricks

* extreme racism in this post is nulified by the fact that the fraud on martins credit card includes 1st class airfares to Oman

you have to remember that driving through knox is potentially a $500 trip, so I would need a pretty good reason to go there.

Luckily it's a shithole so I never really feel the need lol

Time for an Evo Matt?

I don't really know bud, I'm tempted just to sell and buy an Excel or something for the next year and a half till I'm off Ps, escape the hassle of having to explain myself every time, but I don't know if I could drive a shitbox for that long either.. It's got me pretty down on modified cars though :( Try and do the right thing and Pettett comes guns blazing at you, ain't fun.

well part of the reason for moving here was the number of middle eastern folks.

I'll take them over the bogans I lived near b4, plus some of the food you get around here is awsome.

but we were discussing moving out to somewhere bigger as it was so that's moving higher up in the priority.

I still wouldn't drive my evo through knox unless it was a matter of life or death....

I've driven my ute through there totally roadworthy so many times....never had an issue.

on a plus note just have windscreen washers to fix up and hopefully it goes on the market soon.

middle eastern folk/food are fine, but if someone from your street is from Oman, I'd be having a good look at them lol

It's not like it's the most common country of immigration to australia

Not out of the equation, but there's not many cars that I can drive as a P Plater, then go all out when I'm off Ps as I don' t want to be Turbo Conversion-ing anything...

perhaps drive a P Plate legal car until you are off your P's and then sell and buy someone else's money pit?

clearly this is the smarter option unless you are desperate for the "romance" of building it yourself

Yah I'm thinking that, but if I'm going to buy a P Plate car I don't want to spend 8k on one, $5k max, maybe an MX-5 or something but then I'd catch the mod bug, there's nothing I wouldn't modify :( and it'd just be a waste of money.

I just realised that I have way too many shows I like, and not enough time to watch them all.

Diggin the hell out of Transporter the series (mostly cos I get rock hard greasy boners for the R8 and the A8 and nekkid french wimmins in it.) Hooked on Elementary (while waiting for Sherlock to restart... plus Lucy Lu), Perception, Revolution, Touch, Portlandia, Archer, Falling Skies, Franklin & Bash, Wedding Band, Game of Thrones, Grimm, Hell on Wheels, New Girl, Person of Interest, Once Upon a Time, Shameless, Suits, Thundercats, Walking Dead, Saturday night live.

Continuum, Magic City, Black Dynamite, Men at work, Happy Endings, Anger Management, 1600 Penn are also OK.

This man speaks the truth. Only people who wanna go there are teenie bopper YOLO/SWAG LYF punks. Drains it hard.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
