I've got Korns greatest hits... wanna copy?

I'm so observant (no really) - does anyone watch ABC on wednesdays, there's a show called Hollowmen which I accidently taped the beginning of, and anyway the intro has various shots of Canberra and I was about to delete it and then I spotted a Skyline! It's the arse end of a white R34. It's only a really quick shot, so I rewound and slowed it right down to be sure.

so there you go. just thought everyone should know.

got all of Korns albums...(if anyone needs a back up!!!! let me know...) need something else now lol... also pete murray and jack jonhson so not only the heavy stuff but some mellow as well. Kind of like the heavy for weights training, have disturbed, Metallica (old school) linken park,

Crackdown on ACT car hoons

29/08/2008 12:05:00 PM

Car hoons have been targeted by police in Canberra, with authorities shutting off a rural arterial road after receiving a tip off about an illegal street race.

More than 60 drivers were breath tested, 11 cars slapped with defect notices and eight traffic fines were issued in a major clampdown last night on dangerous and irresponsible driver behaviour.

Police closed off a section of Naas Rd, south of the ACT rural town of Tharwa, after receiving a tip off about a street race and burnout meet.

Traffic Operations Acting Superintendent Peter Davis said the operation was part of an ongoing effort to reduce antisocial driver behaviour on Canberra's roads.

"Police are able to target these drivers with the assistance of the public and using unmarked police vehicles," he said.

"This group appeared to have arranged this meet which was quickly shut down by police.

"We will continue to target illegal behaviour and we would encourage anyone who may see this type of behaviour to contact police."

I've read on some other forums that they're cracking down a lot and people are leaving their cars in the carpark in places like Civic or at UC and coming back to find a nice defect sticker on them. Apparently all this has a lot to do with some of the dodgy street behavior that's going on in Canberra.

I know that this Rush Hour thing isn't new but has it recently gotten bigger or something? Not sure why its so much in the spotlight now?? Plan to stay as far away from that crap as possible :thumbsup:

give us a race track then!

We've got the hillclimb track, Wakie is only an hour away and there is always rally. Not bad, although it could be better, keeping in mind that this town mainly supports theatre and arts with little support for motorsport. Bureaucracy makes official motorsport expensive for young people, so its a shame more tax dollars aren't going towards these things to keep it off the street.

Our local press doesn't cover much of local motorsport either, so promoting is difficult. I was amazed at how much the Bathurst press get behind their clubs... while I was up there at the beginning of the month it was covered on two TV stations (9&7) and their local magazine. I was on the front and back cover of their newspaper and I didn't even do anything special (just turned up), yet our clubs publicist has sent info/photos to quite a few of our local newspapers and they didn't get a mention (to my knowledge, and I was watching out).

Stanhope got rid of the V8's (sadly one of the few promises he did deliver on) and didn't deliver on his empty promise to build the Dragway within 18 months

Something to think about at voting time :thumbsup:

Some thing that goes on Thursday nights, I think the location varies. Has a lot of "car hoons" that gather and do burnouts and drifting etc. Attracts a lot of police attention.

I only know what it is cause a few of the boys on Canberra Cruises were mentioning it.

I don't know the truth to this but apparently a few weeks ago a cop was undercover and people found out and he got bashed.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
