YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

drink drivers bring shit like this upon themselves...

rip dead dude

He would of got home safely if the police hadn't of chased him.

Poor guy... R.I.P.

He would have gotten home safely if he had stopped at the booze bus, its his own fault, don't feel one bit sorry fire there idiot, his family and friends are the ones suffering because he made a f**ktard decision to run, don't blame the cops, take away there powers to pursue and we will have anarchy.

Perhaps he was a regular who got harassed by the police and was trying to avoid getting defect?

Still not a reason to doing a runner from a cop with emergency lights on, running a red light on a busy road, doing twice the speed limit, etc. There is no excuse for this.

Sympathy for the driver, there have been a lot of people lately avoiding cops and doing runners - maybe it's time the police took a different approach to the situation. It's clear things aren't working, wonder how many more people are going to die before things change.

And?

Avoiding a defect is a good reason to risk the lifes of everyone around you?

How about selling the car? everyone knows what the go is in vic with this situation, if your gonna be a f**ktard and do a runner because you dont want a defect notice then either make your car legal or go buy a f**king daewoo, how ever you put it there is no reason to be in that situation and leave everyone who loved him with there lifes ripped to shreads because of one f**ktard decision!

5 people have died already from police pursuits in Vic. There was a head on collision in Vic where someone coming the other way was hit head on.

Why don't the police just get the number plate and pay them a visit..... rather than chasing them and putting everyone at risk when there are other cars around?

Lots of motorists drive like twats...but there must be other means than chasing them when that has the potential to FURTHER endanger peoples lives.

And how do you do that when the plates or the car has been stolen, or unregistered or the owner Denys all knowledge and claims to be in bed and had no idea if the car was stolen and returned, if you really think that is going to work then you live in fantasy land.

Think about it, for all the cops know this guy is running because they just killed/ kidnapped some one and the body was in the boot, would you like to be told "yeah we saw him but didn't go after him coz we were gonna have a chat to him later, sorry your girlfriend was killed before he came home for a chat"

You want ways to stop people running from the cops, how about mandatory 12 months jail, that would get people thinking twice before they did a runner

And it would also get them driving twice as fast if they did do a runner, and taking more drastic measures to get away.

I just think through such a busy area...the officers in the unmarked should have been more stealth and followed him and then turned on the sirens when there wasnt busy intersections etc around.

Either way, his choice to run from the police cost him his life. Quite a bigger price of pay than a defect fine or DUI.

I know for a fact, that I'd much rather not being coming the other way when a speeding driver is trying to flee from a police car.

What busy area, it was 6:30am on a public holiday, if it was busy he would have taken other people out, and lets not forget that the cops who you are saying caused the accident were in pursuit for 37 seconds.

Oh okay, didn't realise it wasn't busy. Just looked like a main street to me.

Well no, ultimately he was the one behind the wheel who lost control...but the police chasing him was the reason he was going so fast, just like the booze bus was the reason he did a U-turn. Obviously, this was due to the fact he must of had a reason to want to get away.

I just think they should have tried to be a bit more stealth. I mean, he did a U-turn to avoid a booze bus....so police would of known if they put the sirens on he was going to gun it.

I just feel stealth would of been more appropriate due to the fact he was "spooked" and was obviously wreckless in trying to get away.

Don't drive the car then if that's the case. I love my Line, but I know the risks and issues associated with driving one. It's all part of it. Simple. Don't expect to drive an import, modified or not and not have some legal issues with the fuzz along the way. Right or wrong that's the way it is.

Maybe you need to read the story then, also add in that the cops were apparently 500 meters behind him when he crashed and the pursuit lasted all of 37 seconds

But for what reason, it could have been simply dui or some thing a lot worse

Have you seen "highway patrol" most people pull over once they know they have been spotted and the cops are behind them.

Also lets have a look at the facts, people are up in arms because there has been 5 fatal police pusuits in the last 6 months, there were 716 pusuits in 2011, 5 out of 716 is a very small number, there were 658 in 2010 with no fatalities.

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
