You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pettit last night. He followed me down Dorset Rd for a bit, then flashed me as I was about to turn off for my friend's house. He and his partner checked out my pod filter, made some jibe about it "sucking in hotter air than normal", then he peered down around my front wheels and the partner said to Pettit that I "was borderline" - I guessed for ride height. Then they let me go. Had they breathalised me they may have got a reading, as around 2 hours prior I had had a single beer. If they did, I reckon they'd have put me through the ringer. And just taken my license on the spot.

Yep, us p platers are treated as if were criminals. Way too many strict rules i dont agree with, some i do though. Im not entirely sure why they are stricter then ever, from what i can see, they went into operation hunt p platers in late 2007-2008. You can see from vids on youtube, its the people who are now in there 30s that made the cops stricter then ever. Hooning was at an all time high around then, from what ive seen in news reports, vids etc, it was so bad they had to introduce these strict rules. Still i never really trust the media, mostly propaganda. According to the media and police, it was the people who are now in there 30s, who screwed this current generation. Thanks!

As a p plater you only start off with 5 points. Your points come back every 3 years if you lose some. You get your full license after being on your p's for 4 years. So what this means is, for 3 years you must not lose your 5 points otherwise youll get your license suspended and youll be reset back to red p's, meaning youll have be on your p plates for 4 years again. Imagine only having 5 points for 3 years. If you cop 2 fines there goes your license. And as you can see, there are all sorts of stupid fines that take away points that shouldnt, example being not displaying p plates = 3 points.

You know what really annoys me the most about this though? Im doing 59 in a 60 zone or 79 in a 80 zone for example. People on there full license do about 5km or so over the limit when theres no police around. Sometimes youll get the jackass who decides to beep because doing the speed limit is too slow for him/her. These people need to realise, we only got 5 points, im not going to cop a 3 point fine for speeding because you want to get home quicker. My dad even admits most people on there full license will get away with going a few km over the speed limit, p plater does it though, end up on a current affair probably. I even asked a cop once why this is the case, hes answer was so we dont end up like the current drivers on the road.

LOL what a load of shit...

Honestly what you've just said there is pretty much a total load of rubbish.

It's all still happening, was and will.

It was nothing to do with people, it was governments just securing the minority group vote due to sensationalist journalism creating a 'increasing problem' of 'hoons' when really nothing had changed... The news outlets were just capitalising on something that was obviously gaining them audience that would listen... Politics kicks in and the fat knees all jerk.

Hell the most senior of Police I've argued with, and had them unable to respond.

They lack the most BASIC concept of what might help to fix the problem and are just focussed on nothing more than a purely reactive type of behaviour.

That's where the problem is coming from.

Gw2, Ima break it down for you reeeal simple like.

P Platers are inexperienced, shit drivers. PERIOD.

This is why you have less points and this is why you get looked at harder by the police.

There is no conspiracy, you just all suck and will continue to suck until you have a few years experience behind you.

This is fact.

I lost my licence 4 times when I was on p's for a total of 19 months, generally for speeding and haven't lost it once since being on full's as I guess I learnt my lesson.

Moral of the story is keep your car legal and don't drive like a dick.

I did get pulled over in the GTR for the 1st time the other day however. He said he just wanted to check to see if my club reg was legit and tried to tell me my car wasn't old enough. Then I went home.

Ah k. Disc issues will definitely do that, exacerbated by any form issues too. Should speak to Dan in the gym section...he has similar issues with discs I think and has found ways around them. If you ever want me to take a look at your form I can always do that :)

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
