and yet they wouldn't touch an old bastard driving a Commondoor HSV 20km/hr over the limit, just because it comes out of the factory like that.

8 minutes though that is a bit rough. The cops aren't applying any leaway at the moment in the city - "police discretion" is a thing of the past. To me it just makes people angry towards the police, and that shouldn't be the way it should be.

its funny how police are just now "traffic police", non of this "protect the citizens"

my mate got his car jacked by three guys with knives on the weekend, along with the car keys that they took he had his house keys on the set

now, providing there was some form of 'house address' in the car (from a bill or something that was left in the car) the police refused to provide a police officer (just one cop please) to escort back home to at least check that everything is safe at home and theres no one waiting for em inside the house

YET, they WILL provide four police cars (~6 police officers) to bust up and defect a bunch of 20guys at a carpark that happened recently

LOVE the allocation of resources guys, well done :)

well apprently, yeah. He was going to bring back the 10% rule, so 66, 77, 110km/hr.

yeah, bracks is like "we got more police" well the only place i've seen them is harrasing kids on the train lines for tickets? How the f*ck is that police work?? And they profile like u wouldn't believe!!!!! One day i was on the train, had like a pair of nice Levi jeans, ralph lauren polo jumper, yada yada, walked straight passed me. Week later, baggy jeans and a hooded jumper, straight passed the old lady and asked me to show my ticket. Then proceeds to start a convo with me (all the while taking down ALL my details, address, phone numbers, the works)

cop: "so where u off to?"

me: "brighton beach"

cop: "ah yeah....what's going down there?" (yeah homy, drop down the ghetto talk niggah)

me: "ah.....my car"

that shut him up pretty quick. Just really gives me the shits how they have nothing better to do than to hassle kids and young ppl with good cars. There are MUCH bigger things going on that the police should be concerned about.

p.s. i asked him why he needed to take down all my details, and he said so he can show his boss he is doing something all day......BULLSH*T!!!!! argh!!! :D :D

Wouldn't the TAC cover you though through your rego, even if technically he was unregistered?

That is just as likely to happen from anybody else driving on the roads to the same effect.. I'm sure he wouldn't have been hooning and attracting attention if he knew he was pushing the requirements.

    • 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.
