Pretty sure you can't have anything that you could possibly hit your head on during a crash, thats why it needs to be registered as a 2 seater... I'd imagine that a full cage might also be an issue on modern airbag cars as they alter the way that the car is designed to crumple in an accident.

Cage + 1 inch thick padding foam would probably get you pulled over and done for restricted visibility even if it does get fully engineered as safe.

Exactly!

I think you'll also notice he's got Apple headphones in the 2nd picture, which I think says volumes about iPhone users and their racist tendancies

We unfortunately live in a priveleged age where some people have no significant issues in their lives to worry about, so instead make them up or get offended on behalf of others to fill the void. This priveleged age also affords people the luxury to challenge said problems in the cheapest, laziest and least effective way possible: social media activism...

Protip: if it can be resolved with social media activism it's probably not a real problem lol

I think Vic Pol are back on the defect train. Guy in Vic picked up his new S180 Toyota crown from the transport company (previous owner in QLD), 20mins after picking it up gets pulled over. Defected for low height (didnt test it, just put it on the fine), loud exhaust (stock exhaust, again didnt test it. and everyone knows toyota V6's are quiet as fuark) but also done for mexican poke (because large wheels and car not lowered or any camber, cop it sweet).

Maybe he was driving like a tool, i dunno. but this is pointy-spoiler-stays worthy. f**k this gay earth.

Owned the car for 20 minutes means he was definitely giving it some stick, testing its 0-60 in 9 seconds flat claim... Most likely gave the officer some lip if he got a full book of vague defects thrown at him.

OT: I pretty much bought a car today, getting RWC on Friday and most likely Paying/Picking up on Saturday or Sunday

It's more that hardly anyone in VWL owns an import anymore so the exposure is low

But they did seem to settle down for a bit and Tony(?) said something about EPAs not being given out anymore...

Even my ford hasn't really had much cop attention apart from being on princes hwy a few years back for fog lights.. Was happy to pay the fine based on what I was doing 5 mins before that.

Cops were one of the main reasons I sold my 33 GTR.. would get random EPAs in the mail etc

Get pulled over often on my dirt bike, almost 50% of the time I'm out on it (in the bush)

There was a 2 door 4WD thing on the the freeway passed moe yesterday, it's been really smokey and hazy in the valley but this 4WD had more smoke coming out of it than an old big rig with an escort of 4 Mitsubishi magnas.

Drive up beside it and saw a massive Chequered Tuning sticker on the back...

What did you do to get that kind of letter?

guessing noise as it does not sound like a full test.

which if you have the stock exhaust you just swap for the test and be done, at lest that's what I did.

 

 

Is your bike full reg or rec?

Where do you get pulled over?

50% would piss me off!

yeah noise, i went to my 'exhaust guy' got him to put some quiet system on ghetto mounted it basically, got test done then went back to him to swap exhaust back on.. cost me like ~$200 all up including the test roughly i think.. still a pain in the ass with the time it takes to do it etc. 

My bike is full reg, been pulled over at Neerim South, and at Lake Eildon. Didn't see any police at the Anglesea tracks over the weekend. 

50% of like the not many times I ride dirt, but yeh they're definitely out and about on the weekends on their KTMs

This is often because so many of them are stolen

Mate's dirt bike got nicked from his shed in Warrandyte...18 months later he got a call from cops saying they want to get it out of their evidence locker cause it's taking up space. Apparently they seized it after doing chassis checks on some guys riding dirt bikes in the hills somewhere and no one ever bothered to try calling the actual owner after it went into the lockup. Wasn't too badly molested when he got it back but had already replaced with a newer one lol

fair enough.

know lots of farm quads and similar get nicked and resold but as they don't get rego in most cases it's hard to track.

(ours being one of them) 

but yeah checking unrego'ed ones out bush makes sense.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
