Hmm, I'm gonna go shoot some cops !!!(i am jokin here) omg sorry, im now guilty of muder and can be jailed:lol:

Thats the dumbest article ive ever read who the hell wrote that garbage. How can u make a realtion between reality and the net? it just doesnt make sense. How exactly are these ppl "defying" police by posting stuff like that?? only when they go out on the street and actually do it is this relevant at all. Keep in mind that alot of these ppl will pull over at the first sign of the ol' blue and red. Next thing u know they will say any1 with a high powered car and a computer is a crazy street racer.

*sigh* yet another dumass writing about something he has absolutely no comprehension of.

Well, its been stated elsewhere, habitual drink drivers pose a far greater threat to society, yet there has been absolutely no effort to apply the same level of punishment to these dregs of society. These bozos simply walk away with a slap on the wrist. They get their licence suspended - again! (how can you suspend a licence that's already on suspension?). But they continue to offend, and no-one does a cracker to stop them.

Fair enuff but how many times do u here about ppl gettin busted for draggin as opposed to ppl gettin done for DUI. What do u want em to do?? publicly stone them to death? i have a m8 that got done a few years back for DUI and he used to drive home every weekend trashed. Since he got his lic back he hasnt once got behind the wheel even slightly pissed, now that is what they are trying to acheive so good on em.

Gotta fight a war on all fronts and thats what they are doin. Its mainly the fear thing that they are tryin to get into our heads. who would honestly drag under the threat of being caught when they can go to a track?

I'm not talking about 1st time offenders, I'm talking habitual / repeat DUIs - like that the sphincter of the universe you've got over there in the West (ACA the other night). Despite being a repeat DUI, he still has his car. He just doesn't have a licence.

Suspending their licence doesn't stop them driving, and it doesn't stop them driving drunk. LOCK THE BASTARDS AWAY (IMHO) so they can't continue to not learn the lesson we are trying to teach them. Or at least confiscate his car so he can't drive it for a while.

Yeh i get ure point but ACA is not exactly a real source of info seeing as its just tabloid news. Think i saw that story, they heckeld the guy in the bottle shop and said ooooh hes evil cause hes in abottle shop but he was buyin fanta and his m8 was drivin. IMHO ACA should have a disclaimer "all stories are based on actual events" cause thats all they are "stories" not fact at all any1 who believes otherwise is an idiot (no offense intended to any1 who watches it).

The problem is that there is a grey area between actually criminal offenses and traffic infringments so it kinda makes it hard and can create issues. These ppl are odd cases and for the amount of ppl who are DUI offenders id say these types make a VERY small percentage. I dont think the same could be said for ppl with speeding fines now could it??:)

what a totally pointless article!! :zzz:

of course people are going to be opposed to having their car impounded!! so they have a bit of a whinge about it on their club website - umm so what?? they probably whinged to their mates too, oh and their gf, maybe even the next door neighbour :)

My point is...it's not exactly "news" that people have a bit of a bitch on discussion forums.

must have been a slow news day :)

But do u hear any objections to movies like "the fast and the furious"?? well i havent seen it yet but im sure it would make every dumass riceboy wannabe get in their dads car and try and drive it under a truck or sumfin completely dumb like that. U know how ppl come out of a jackie chan movie and are all like "whhaaaa wgahh hrakow " with there m8s as they jump around like tools. What makes sensors think that these same idiots wont do the same on the road?

Hoons use Net to defy crackdown....

I guess:

"Car Owners voice their opinion on a serious issue affecting them via the fastest growing method of communication"

just wouldn't have the same ring to it now would it (besides being too long winded!).

so the story goes, a pair of idiots in the US raced eachother after seing that movie, one of em plastered his car all over the back of another car or something. And you only had to stand outside in the cinima carpark and watch people drive out, u could see which ones had gone to see that movie, they were the excel drivers trying to pull drags with skylines and stuff on the way home....

Wats that meant to mean??? I have an excel, so I go draggin skylines??? Well no. But i would drag u cos u seem very ****y, and as iv beaten almost every Q ive dragged, im sure i'd have no problem with u.

In other words, dont go sayin shit that's BS. U could say some idiots wer tryin to drag skylines, one was in an excel.

:D;)

i think they make out street racing to be alot more dangerous then it actually is.. granted some is dangerous...

but there are other times were you race to the speed limit.. anyway i dont think hooning will stop. personally i would rather here about car enthusiasts meeting up havin a good chat about there pride and joy, then getting together and raping girls or murdering people..

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
