Rann is a dumbphuck

But anyway, the Summary Offences (Misuse of motor vehicles) Ammendment Bill was introduced in 2002 but I can't remember it even being reported by the media.

Looking at it I don't think its terribly unfair... sustained wheelspin, fair enough... ripping up an oval, fair enough.... engine or tyre noise that disturbs other people, thats drifting, burnouts or the morons that do 5000rpm down Rundle St, fair enough.... racing or speed testing, as long as you don't admit anything and arent caught doing anything toooo bad (dickheads speeding around suburban roads dont count, they deserve getting caught) it shouldnt be too hard to get out of it.

In any case, there is no provision to sell the vehicle unless you dont pick it up within three months of the impoundment ending

Haha.. steve's posts are a crackup.

instead of polititians wasting there time cracking down on road laws and pretending that cracking down on imports savelives.. they should crack down on the telephone sales cold calling.. Ive had 4 calls in the last week, some indian probably calling me direct from New Delhi asking for the Office Manager, then asking if i want to change the business telephone plan.. After i say in 4 different languages we are happy with the service we have already have, they abuse me in some sort of terrorist accent and they hang up on me!

Make a law that bans cold calling telephone I says.. that would be a bloody good use of polititian time!

and NSW, and WA.. although I think NSW was the first.. All the worst shit in this country originates from NSW :cheers:  

Steve has a good point.. bugger me if I'd be stopping and gently pulling over if you thought your car was going to be compounded and sold from underneath you. Its just going to result in worse incidents in some cases.  

They generally need video evidence though to be able to take the car off you, I think that is what happens up here anyhow.

I think they got rid of it in NSW?

You're laws are even worse than we have in WA now, the first time here the car is 'only' locked up for 2 days.

mate, you were probably lucky - his son/daughter may have an import, which only resulted in a warning for you. Many motorists in SA get pulled over and canaried for no apparent reason.

I was kinda lucky too,still got a fine but no defect:) I got pulled over a month ago for speeding, fair enough didnt put up a fuss, cop seemed pretty cool. I thought i was defected for sure but he just seemed happy to give me the fine. he did have abit of a look at my car too!

    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
    • They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
