We used to own a HJ Premier (308)... When at department of transport at McGregor in QLD I was in DOT getting my learners while my other half ran to the car to go home to get something I had forgotten.

While andrew was walking back to the car, a copper was standing near the car just looking over it. He asked andrew if he was the owner and he said yes. The copper commented that they were a machine in there days and ours was in perfect condition. He loved it.

There are some cops that admire lovely cars and some that are just arseholes... The arseholes are usually the Constables just outta the academy that think they are top shit because the are a cop. The nice ones are usually the older ones that have been in the service for 20 odd years and aren't so hung up about being a cop.. To them its just a job. There are some really nice cops believe it or not (I've worked with many) ... But as i said.. there are a fair share of arseholes too.

You have to remember that they are just doing their job... although going to the extremes of having our cars taking away is a bit over the top...

And that Glen Miller guy is just what the media wanted.... An absolute tosser... He makes people like me sick... It scares me to think that there are actually people like him out there in out society.

I've always wished that there was some way that I could get in on the act at work and have say for people like us that just enjoy our cars and dont mind a good little squirt on the freeways every now and then.

sounds familiar NismoGirl

my cousin used to own an immaculate black ford cortina, cops used to pull him over just to ask if it was for sale or not...

that thing was an animal, ran an unhidden NOS setup that the cops noticed and appreciated...

i think if anyone has a gripe against cops its just the minority that ruin it for everyone else

just like car modifiers, which today tonight has so f*kn kindly demonstrated to us

:uh-huh:

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
