Yeah but, yeah but, did anyone hear about that copper over here in the UK who was charged with speeding at 159mph (254kmh) in a 70mph (112kmh) area, and over 120mph (192kmh) in a 60mph (100kmh) area.....evidence used was his own in-car video. He was not in pursuit of anyone and had no flashing lights. But he got off anyway after explaining to the court that he was testing the capability of his new traffic car.

It's a good road though, on which you can see for miles ahead, and I once "tested" an RX7 on the same stretch while delivering it to the bloke who bought it off me. I didn't intend to but some big Beamer with 2 suits in it kept stoking me on. Before I knew it, I just thought "oh bollocks" to myself and floored it. I couldn't see the speed on the speedo as the steering wheel was in the way, but the rev counter said almost 7000rpm, in 5th, and ever-so slightly going downhill.

I think a lot of us have "tested" the top speed of our cars... but if I was caught, I wouldn't use an excuse.  It's my bad, and i'd just cop it on the chin, so to speak.

forget copping it on the chin. you get caught going 224kmh you will be copping it up the arse.

You won't be copping it up the arse if you are caught doing that kinda speed, just a big fine and a large loss of license.

Sorry clearly you guys are all perfect road drivers... ;)

At least I am honest enough to admit it. I don't drive like that anymore, but if someone wants to go out there and do 224km/hr on a freeway (M4, M5, F3, etc), well that is their decision.

No-one gets a 'go straight to jail' card for traffic infringements unless it involves alcohol or some kind of bodily harm.

Decades ago someone got bashed into a coma for unpaid parking tickets.

Only the media is cretinous enough to suggest jail time for 'no harm, no foul' speeding charges.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
