bobsgirl,

what your saying is right to an extent, but then there should be no double standards. what exactly is "a bit too far" over the limit?

what 10kms?20kms?30kms?

IF what your saying is right then, and everyone should get what they deserve then anyone that goes 1km/hr over the speed limit should be penalised. There should be no double standards. its either your over the limit or your not, your cant be speeding "a bit too much"

I got what i deserve but what i get really pisssssed off about is when i hear some idiot drinkin driving, being caught 3 times and letting a toddler take the wheel for him and being only fined 900 when i get a 1600 fine for being over the limit. Tell me who has a better chance of crashing or harmin some1? or some guy racing and dont even get a fine. The law we have in place has too many flaws in it...so no most of you are wrong, not everyone gets what the deserve. Some get harsher penalties then others who have done 10X worse then them. So i dont seee the problem of trying to reduce the fine or suspension....if some idiot doing a lot worse then you is getting off for less...

U'll only ever do it once and then 3 - 6 months will seem like a really really long time.....I got done on a country road late at night and have regretted it ever since....not only because of the fine and loss of license, but also because I couldn't afford to go to 2 track days and really speed in a legal environment.

I'll not be pressured by other motorists to speed and I'll be saving it for the track.

I get what you are saying guilty but , the law is the law, now i am not saying that someone going 1 km over the speed limit is in need of a fine , i am saying that if you are going that far over the limit , x2 over from what i can see, then you are going to get what is coming to you, just think , maybe if the cop hadn't stop you, you might have crashed 5 km's down the road( this is no reflection of your driving skill. purely hypothetical) that means that you just paid $1600 for your life is that not fair, you only choose to see it as a misfortune not a luck.as for drink driving, i don't want to go there.

(when i was a lad) lmao i was caught 140,in a 80 zone with no p plates on, raceing my mate i had a six commodore he had a 8 any way a detectives car pulled me up let him go but tryied 2 get info of him out of me , i was shitting my pants then they told me to have a look at the radar and wrote my details down on the back of a maccas drink tray and told me i will get something in the mail and pissed off in a hurry (p plates gone) so i was shitting 4 2 weeks waiting , and geuss what nothing ever happend (maybe they they got that hungry they ate the box 2 (good luck)- but save your power 4 the strip or dyno shoot outs (save money-lives;; have-fun ) in 1 hit

I hate when people have a bitch about the situations other find themselves in. i am sure everyperson or the vast mmajority of people on these forums has had a illegal street race or speeding etc... He did the crime now he has to do the time, its that simple. Not everyone can afford to or has the time to go to "team track day"

you do know it only costs $80 for a full day at a Wakefield Park Open day plus $40 per year for a Wakefield Licence???

before we all jump him for his team trackday comment.. I think this is where SAU should be helping people out.

Tosh whilst you know how much a trackday costs, he may not know or have anyone to go with. If I was him and I read some of the posts in here I would have no intention of joining the club or attending any events.

We have all been in trouble with the fuzz at one stage or another.. People who live in glass houses..

.. People who live in glass houses..shouldn't do 140 in a 70 zone...

:P

no one should..

I dont condone it, but I am also saying that no one is perfect. I know for a fact that some people with in the community have lost licenses for speeding. Whilst they now say take it to the track they learned the lesson the hard way.

Just hate the whole kicking a man when he is down. He ****ed up and he is paying for it with fines and loss of license. Now lets use this opportunity to say yeah dude you ****ed up but did you nkow you can come to the track and its not expensive.

:werd: :D

As an aside, it's true jnrR32 didn't try to justify his actions. He just wondered what he was up for and everyone is entitled to their day in court. ;)

It's all the others who try and justify 140 along Homebush Bay Drive that have nfi...:P

i agree with your last comment red.. and 100% with carlo! Also, i do find track days to be expensive... i'm just talking about wakefield here (don't know about the others)... but you spend about $100 in fuel just to get there, (my car!) plus track expenses.. plus food... i've found my last track days have been about $200-$250... now to me, thats ALOT of money! and thats not even including wear and tear of the car!! and there will be ALOT of that, cause you won't drive like a pansey out there! its alot when you think about it! well.. for me it is!

Now, i'm not saying thats justification for speeding on the roads, i'm just pointing out to everyone that its not as cheap as implied by most posts!

Let's say I was to do the motoconcepts track day next oct 28th:

Fuel there and back ~$17 (~100 km round trip)

track day $140

fuel on day ~$60

Total=~$232

now compare that to a friday night cruise with getting busted for speeding:

fuel for cruise ~$20

speeding "More than 15 km/h but not more than 30 km/h" $208

Total= ~$243

1st one is legal and you are less likely to damage your car, it gets my vote. ;)

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
