Hey guys, a large group of us here in Tassie are trying to stop a anti-hoon legislation being passed. We believe it is unfair to the point of giving police unlimited power.

We have the council with us, an MLC (and ex-cop) and had a petition handed to the government. but it still doesn't do a great deal.

we got a feature in the paper, but it was edited a changed the facts. We're Not Hoons!

The government keeps bringing up how well this legislation worked in Queensland, but i am led to believe this is untrue.

Could you guys help us out and word your opinion on the situation and how the legislation is REALLY going up there

cheers Tim,

Hey Tim,

Unfortunatly, I don't think we will be able to stop this legislation from coming in. However we need to compromise with the government, for example bring in the hoon laws but provide a weekly off street drags for a lower cost or maybe even a off street race around baskerville, also at lower cost.

They have to be made to understand that we want to go off street but the cost is too much, expecially for us hobart people because we have to drive up north for tarmac events.

I hobart for example, if the drags are on a friday/saturday night, then no one will do blockies and for the ones that insist, then the "hoon laws" will deal with them. This keeps town residents happy(no noise) and less burnouts will be done at 2am outside my house...

Also these laws won't stop full on bogans stealing cars and doing the same things because most of them don't have licences. Maybe they need to look at putting these little shits behind bars.

Anyway, please explain how this is going to reduce the road toll and if it does when will rego costs/insurance costs come down to reward us....it wont.

Rant off.

cheers smooth, yes i have a good idea it won't get stopped, but we feel the ruling is not entirely fair.

it is true, when the drags are on there is no one doing blockies etc.

another point is that devonport of all the towns in tassie is having a complex built for drags burnouts etc, why can't launceston or hobart.

i could go on for ages about this but i just really wanted to know how the law had affected QLD residents

t hasnt affected me personally but one of my mates got his bike taen off him. he was being a dick and just fryin up the wheels in the middle of the road though (cops in an unmarked car filmed it all)

1st time - vehicle gone for 48 hours

2nd time - 3 months

3rd time - dont get it back

atleast that what i am lead to beleive with the confiscation terms...

you wont be able to stop it bcoz the general public dont relly understand what you are getting at as they are not the ones who want cheaper track days, they honestly wouldnt give a shit how much it costs us people for a trackday...please try though aye, hopefully it will catch on up here!

the stupid thing is, that if you take away quickly in a manner that looks like racing you can be done, even if you dont spin your wheels, speed, intoxicated or go all over the road...

basically, ITS GHEY!

they have cars in tassie? :D targa tassie i spose :)

eh. anyway............yeah i think you'd have bugger all chance of stopping it because the bulk of the population support anti hooning laws......i spose its a good thing that the bulk of the population has the most effect on the laws.

dont fight it. just keep what you do quiet.........there are no cops out in the middle of no where at dawn.......and that is where you should be letting off your steam if there is no strip or track anywhere near you. for the people that get caught and done for hooning laws while in populated/built up areas, screw em. they knew the game before they played it.......if you keep it legal there's no problems.....well....thats the idea.

but there are cases where a young driver has been pinned for hooning when the charge should have been speeding, this is BS and shouldnt be on. good luck down there!

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
