Policeman - the defendant took off from the lights, smoked his tyres and exceeded the speed limit.

Defendant - he wanted me to drag him! This is entrapment.

Magistrate - and why should the court believe the defendant? Scumbag street racer - that's 6 years for you!

they can book you but it would get throwen out of court.

Were talking bout cops here..... cops will alwasy win in court....

Also, had a Bluebird try and race me yesterday...... was just cruisin past him, maybe doin 5km over.... as i pull up level with this bashed up bluebird... he floors it and takes off.. and keeps goin. WTF????

lol its sad, but true. no matter what, you would still get in sh!t for whatever you did wrong. andrew's right the police always win, even if you take them to court because of a speeding fine that they gave you when you werent speeding, if you take them to court you will be spending more money on lawyers and all that sh!t which could cost more than just paying the fine (taken from the story of a WRX in sydney who had GPS in his car which was recorded on his home pc which told him his speed at every moment and he was well under the speed limit... dunno if he won the court case though :)) but yeh youd be extremely lucky to beat the cops at there own game. heres some advice (dunno if it will be helpfull though, LOL!)

when the cops try to get at you, park it like its hot! (THANKYOU Snoop Dogg :rolleyes:)

BTW i saw a white SS cruising through that road out front of hoyts and babar last night between 11.30-12 and there were 4 guys in it (looked ethnic) the SS had really nice chromies and exhaust so i was just looking at the rims as they went past and this random in the back stuck his head out the window and just gave me the eye for about 100m i said to my friend WTF is his problem cause he looked like he had something he wanted to say, dunno if anyone else has seen these guys but the car is white with chromies, lowered, custom exhaust and has a green SS sticker at the bottom of the left hand rear passenger door. wierd....

It was blue, stock looking and stock sounding until he put his foot flat, but it was only a v8 with exaust and a auto. He also just missed another car also, I may have thought about running him but wrong time wrong place.

This one might have been blue actually. It was pretty late at night so might have just looked black.

Sounds about right for a commodore driver and his mates.

LOL, you guys should come out here. Every time I take my car out after dark in Wagga some Commodore picks me.

I used to care, I just don't anymore. I let them go home to their mates bragging about the skyline they dragged off..... even though I didn't even come on boost....

i remember there being a discussion on one of the national car forums i visit a while ago in regards to entrapment laws, i remember (unclearly) that there was some difference between NSW and ACT laws in regards to this. Would be an interesting thing to find out for sure.....

if a random person drives next to you and eggs you on and you race them off the lights - that's illegal (speeding up to the limit too quickly/breaking traction - which i'm pretty sure are two canberra road laws). it's no different if an undercover eggs you on, and you race him....

One of my mates got booked for 'excessive acceleration' from a set of traffic lights. This is another area of the laws i find a bit of a grey spot, as he did not spin his wheels or anything. So what is excessive acceleration if they can book you even if your wheels don't spin? This was in a HSV clubsport by the way (his dad's car)

excessive acceleration is exactly that, accelerating to the speed limit too quickly, when there is no need for it

Miscellaneous Road Rules. Part 18, Division 1, Rule 291

Making unnecessary noise or smoke

A person must not start a vehicle, or drive a vehicle, in a way that makes unnecessary noise or smoke.

Offence privision.

Example

Causing the wheels of the driver's vehicle to lose traction and spin on the road surface may make unnecessary noise or smoke

couldn't find anything on entrapment or excessive acceleration, but i'm sure it's there.

A mate of mine received a ticket which reads "Offence = Burnout" lol... We were going to frame it! lol. Just thought i'd throw that in there!

Oh and as if cops cant pose as street racers.. Havent you guys seen The Fast and the Furious????? lol... :burnout:

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
