Yeah, I was going down the Kwinana Fwy this morning at my usual brisk pace and noticed a couple of police bikes had pulled a REX over. I must admit I will be slowing down during the holiday season, only have 3pts left.

I think that on cruises during this time of year a strict no speeding policy should be adhered to, cause if one person starts then the rest of us will want to go the little bit faster etc.

Safe driving everyone.

See'ya:burnout: (yeah and no burnout's)

hmmm, tis why i never go up the freeway.

I head up rockingham road then across Gibbs/Russell to the freeway. Except this morning a commodore had lost it somehow before Russell Road on Rockingham Road and mashed a poll.. Caused quite a little backup of traffic, we had to Detour through an industrial complex.

Came across all the cops on the Freeway though after that, lucky for people whom flash their headlights. I thank thee.

Also saw a R33 this morning with a kit and crap, thought nothing of it, afterall.. it is just a 33 :P.. then to find later on a chick was driving it.. sweet :D nice clean car too. [** 25 WA] were the plates.

to catch the brainless ones who go kewl just went through a speed trap i can speed now.

Yeah, but that's not fair to people like Hicks who weren't born with a brain.:bahaha:

It does seem that it is a knee jerk reaction to the ban on speed camera's along the freeway, and I don't think we should blame the cops, there just doing as there told, its the politician :whackit: that end up with the money. So they can spend it on chauffer driven cars.

See'ya

I heard once when a mate was going down south, they had a camera set up, and then a couple of k's on, they had a policeman waiting, and then a few more k's from there another camera haha, lots of people I think would've been caught that day, and personally I think it's a brilliant idea, and like skyzerr said, peopel think they've gone past the heat, and now they're free to boot it

whats this about speed cameras on the freeway?? are they banned???

and i saw a speed camera setup on a main road, where they had one camera, then another one down a bit further and also another one on the other side of the road, that was pretty good idea, i wonder how many ppl they would have got with that???

Cam.

but it also works for the type of people who when they get caught speed up cause there pissed off.

i know one guy who got done 3 times in 5km with the same setup as the described psiko

for a lovely 10 points and many $$$

or the guy on the last double demerits weekend who did 20 points in one day

Apparently the cops/government brought in some new by-law to allow them to start using the cameras on the freeways again. Nothing good lasts forever.

Saw cops on bikes with hand-held radar guns on Alabny Hwy just then, looks like nowhere is safe to speed.

See'ya:burnout:

Yep, i just invested in a new bel, saved my ass once already.

I dont think anyone here can say they *never* speed, and anyone who does is obviously lying, there are always situations where a bit of speeding is acceptable, and that is always where the police are. They should concentrate only on problem areas, rather than places they can hide good.

Speed cameras arent made to increase road safety, they increase government revenue, no matter how the politicians like to spin it, thats why they wont stop using them, and they wont ban them from roads like the freeway.

Don't know how much difference all the speed cameras make - except to the pockets of the pollies. Speed isn't the problem on the roads, its drivers who seem to think that they are bulletproof and have a god given right to drive in any manner they wish, regardless of where its done.

Bloody Pollies chasing revenue is all -

Feel better after that vent:)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
