So yeah, looks like Mr Commo owner tried something new - took out 3x cars and ended up into the pole. I'm a little upset my lawn is ruined, and he's cracked the gutter.. :(

On another more serious note.. this happened around 7pm, it took the local cops 2.5 hours to come to the scene. Then they breath tested the dude and he barely scraped through as being legal to drive. If they have gotten him 2.5 hours earlier when everyone called they might have had him for DUI.

So yeah... not sure what to think of coppers to when they come and talk to you like you're some criminal too. And to add more salt to the wound, they kept saying "your greenslip will cover for all the damage to your vehicles, trust me I've been doing this for years"...

Anyhow, what a night!

What more can you say?

2.5 hours for police attendance is ridiculous in this instance

Lawn in the photo doesn't look too bad

hopefully he gets a stiff penalty.

Will certainly be paying it off for many years

What I find ironic is that the coppers refused to do a police report because no one was hurt.

But seriously, he was doing so top speed shit to even cause that much damage. If he was doing 50km/h I am sure there would have been less damage than that.

And by the time they got there, he had sobered up.

Yeah when they moved the VT commodore it took a chunk of my lawn out :(

wouldnt be greenslip, thats for personal injury. he'd wanna hope he had TPO or full comp cover

if I were you I'd certainly be sdending him a letter of demand to fix your lawn!

That sucks man, how did he even manage that? Not like you live at an intersection or curved road...

"Serve and protect" guess that doesn't apply here. Should've told them you're selling drugs to the driver, they would have turned up quicker.

Let this be a warning to everyone!...

If you try to ram-raid Johnny's place, you'll only get as far as his lawn!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
