For those that watched today tonight, tonight (24-1-12).

What a bloody joke. cops RTA EPA set up A RBT to catch moded cars, and rome thestreets to catch said cars.

Fair enough if your car is not legal, but the way today tonight promoted thestory was along the lines of these words. 'these so called car enthusiasts withtheir moded cars........... I cant rember the rest and nothing is up on YouTubeyet.

Sorry for being so vague but didn’t get to catch the whole story. Anyone elsesee it.

exactly, or a good laugh. some of the stories are that far beyond "OMG stupid" that they can only be a joke. just dont pay any real attention to either of these (or most comercial TV news for that matter) and you will be a happier person for it...and as mentioned above, prob save a few brain cells in the proccess......and they say drugs are bad for you.....

Same in the ACT. Local authorities have been TOLD to target HPI looking vehicles. Stats are down so they've been told the quotas.

Been going through the Carparks again targetting HPI looking cars. Same with the cops on the radars and breathalysers.

Both myself and my housemate have been done in the last week. R33 and R34.

this has been all over the car forums today and it was heartening to know people are paying attention and ready to defend themselves, the problem is as stupid as the show is it does influence a huge cross section of the population and when they slant stories in a certain light it puts more pressure on authorities to make life harder for the average car enthusiast. ie biased articles (telegraph is guilty of it too) force the cops to act and come down hard on the more innocent majority of performance car drivers.

was thinking though, i wonder how many of the reporters/staffers cars would pass a strict defect station? Anyone up for heading to the respective offices of ACA and today tonight and doing a comparo to see who fares better?

And 30 years ago it was guys in HQ holdens, XA falcons, Toranas and RX3's getting the same biased treatment. There just werent as many internet forums in those days to spread the news.

I was targeted for driving a modified 180B in the late 80's - at the time I thought it was police harrassment. Now I realise it's because I drove like a dickhead.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
