ric777, were never going to agree but it is fun to debate.  

The thing is I DO  think the minister got up one morning and saw the recent media hype of street racing as an avenue to gain popularity.I mean there are already trafic laws and fines and jail time.

See i feel that there could have been a better option. That is providing the street racing population with better avanues then racing on a puplic street. If you have ever been to a proper orgainsed illegal street meet then you would see that these people are not the same as so call hoons. They will drive far out side of public areas as cearfully as posible as to not draw attention and then race on the flatest longest unpopulated road they can fined. I cant see that as being reckless.

The example i can think of is with drugs. They are illegeal but you see such places that facilitate drug uses with shooting rooms. And such help avaliable on educating party type drug uses. Now this will not get you a seat in parlarment but it will save a sh#t load of lives. fact.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

The fact that there are laws regarding, fines etc as you mentioned reinforces the fact that the minister had been getting her ass chewed off to do more on the problem.

Anyway I might also add that we started the Roo Gulley drag strip as we used to call it at the back of Karagullen a long, long time ago. They were fun times and because there were never that many people around we didn't get any visits from the cops. Don't know if they ever knew about it.

When I saw it on the news one night not long ago, it brought back memories and I was surprised that people still went up there. We used to hang around up in the hills so it wasn't out of the way for us.

To REPRAZENT, good call, hopefully the minister will be given a copy and advise the cops to keep the BS out of things.

reprazent; cool ill try and see it. how did you just get a call?

Yep, from me. I was asked to look for a suitable person & car as my work knows I'm a bit of a hoon myself, and that I know some people with nice cars. I couldn't resist not picking Roni for the job as she's got a car that stands out (to both cops & public) and also races professionally on the side.

Saw her pics from the photoshoot earlier in week, and gotta say they are pretty nice esp from a non professional car photographer and on a digital SLR camera...hahahahaha (private joke between Rick & I)

Will appear in the 14/09 edition of Stirling Times. You won't be able to miss it that's for sure!!

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
