Unfortunately police have to goven stupid rules made by even stupidier goverment bodies. We, like so many other people have endless problems with theft, graffiti and so forth in our suburb that it is well beyond a joke, but the usual police response is what do you want us to do??? it is not thier fault but the goverments laws really favour the criminal. it is easier to bust some dude doing a burnout than robbing someones house.

I wrote a letter in to the advertiser, bottom of the link, posted at top of page. i suggest you all do too. Be sensible and mention the lack of patrols and surveilance in places it count like our suburbs and too many concentrating on 'HOONS' who have probaly never done anything worse than screach some tyres!

new motto should read "SORRY WE CANT HELP YOU, BUT WE CAN BUST YOU"

i kinda agree ... but think about it ... these kids are doing some stupid shit on the road .. eg .. anzac highway on a friday or saturday night ... if u take a drive down there what do u see?? mostly vn commies (sometimes an import but most times a commie or ford) going at it like theres no tomorrow ... thats the sorta stuff i wouldnt' mind them stop ... but i find it quite annoying when i see a copper pull over an import for no apparent reason and i've seen that plenty of times too ...

hippy, there is already anti 'hoon' laws, its called the road traffic act. Dangerous driving, creating excessive noise are two that come to mind.

If the cops werent out setting performance car defect stations, perhaps they would see guys going fully over the top in places where they shouldnt. Then again, when was the last time someone was hurt by a doughnut?

I agree with autobarn, get the cops out there chasing criminals, instead of trying to re-invent the wheel by changing existing laws that should be more than adequate.

When are the law makers and politicians going to start seeing what is happening and start protecting public from criminals, instead of making public into criminals and letting the real criminals go around unmolested?

Had a doughnut caught in my throat last night does that count Steve:)

Its un Australian not to do the occasional Doughy as long as its in a safe area.

Mayb we should all put holden badges on our cars to confuse the cops and they wouldnt know what to do then

I will write something also, something along the lines of what you have already stated.

The goverment would rather focus on the east tasks like confiscating peoples cars, which they should have the right to do, it's not their property.

you don't even get that bad a rap for drink driving!

a burnout may be annoying, but it doesn't kill people.

why don't they start confiscating my house cause i have my music up to loud?

Its just an independant party offering a bill to parliament. I dont think they will accept the bill on the basis of there being too many loop holes. It would be saying that cars were illegal? yes?

I agree with Autobarn's initial post. This is complete bollocks. I think its ironic you can drink drive and not lose your licence for a first offence, its only a points system, but do a burnout and they take away all your vehicle priviledges.

10 stores have been knocked over by thieves in the past month or so, but cause each individual theft was under 25k it is petty theft (or something) totals over 150k it attracts no attention and is just too hard to follow up. but hey, if they do a burnout lets bust em'

ps. is it true? that someone drink driving killed a minor last week and got off withh 100 dollar fine? i missed the first half of radio broadcast.

it is not as bad as doing 'wheelies' obviously. ohh well, pretty sure it wasnt a young 'HOON' either but more your socialite type.

well i can't argue with them not doing real police work ...

but maybe arguments shouldnt' be vented towards police ... they are only doing what they get told to do ... think about it .... its old codgers like Steve who have nothing better to do then think of how they can make a name for themselves so they need to make someone a criminal and be little them to make themselves big ....

but yes cops need to do real cop stuff ...

why dont these offences attract the same demerit point loss as everything else?? and anyway, doing a burnout is far less dangerous than speeding or running a red light... both of which already attract demerit points as far as i know.

I don't understand what they classify as hoon behaviour anyway... ok maybe doing an extended burnout or doghnut is hoon behaviour... but surely not screeching your tyres, cos your average fwd will screech if you accelerate when on a white line... and most rwd cars will wheelspin if you are a bit too aggressive with the right foot

speeding is already covered under other laws

defects are covered by other laws

what else is there??

accelerating hard in a 4wd u are a hoon (no wheelspin here though)??

maybe if you speed in an import or a car with a loud exhaust you are a hoon and the demerit point system doesnt apply to u??

or if your car is lowered and you have a big GT wing and you spin the wheels you are a hoon??

is an executive in a magna who is speeds or screetches the tyre a hoon also??

I don't get it... and i don't see how they can implement it

Write letters to parliments lower house members if the law gets stuck there it will go no where!

Good luck

How about having finance on the car?

There must be a loop hole there...

I want to become a coper and bust the people who are involved in introducing this law,

Sir I heard your tyres squeel as it hit the white line. :(

But yer.. Anzac is full of Commodores & Fords.

You may as well write letters to f@%king El'Presidente Bush for all it's worth.

These laws will come into effect in SA, without a doubt. SA is only following the lead from the other states that already have these tough 'anti hoon' laws in place. I don't agree with it, but 10's of 1000's of other SA citizens sure as hell will.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
