This article was bought to my attention today & it seems its not only government agents that browse car forums.

Although, it doesn't normally happen on SAU (posting hooning pics, providing specific bragging details etc), it does happen on other popular public forums & even I’ve been guilty in the past for posting once in a brag section thread.

Hopefully, it won't have a huge repercussion for other car enthusiasts & web site based clubs :Paranoid:. It’s a pity coz, Adel recently had another large charity cruise, which was also organised to promote a non-hooning image to the public & better ties with the police (but that was wishful thinking).

While such illegal activites shouldn't happen in the first place, I hope I don’t need to remind you mature & responsible people of SAU it is somethin that we should keep in mind (more than before) before posting on any forums.

Please try keep the baggin of Commonwhores to a minimum, coz I already know how much affection we have towards them.

I watched this last night, I must say when the media needs a scapegoat, they dont have to look far with shit like that happening!

Bit like every organized car cruise (well the majority anyhow) there is always someone who does something.

I feel sorry for the commonwhore boys and girls, Im sure there are a few decent people, just morons doing shit like that, getting on the front page of the paper, is going to make it harder for EVERYONE not just falcadore drivers

All those days that say 'practice - cars, cars/bikes are open to the public, just need a helmets and basic safety equipment, like at the drags

I've heard that the open days are a little dangerous with everyone allowd on the track at once, and not the propper marshalling. I'm just realaying what someone relayed to me so who knows how accurate it is, damb chinese whispers

Not dangerous at all really, last time I was there it was a max of about either 5 or 8 cars for about 8 laps at a time, and they space you out. No overtaking on corners etc etc..

They are marshalled quite well, I think there where 3 or 4 lots around the track

Everyone is there to have a bit of fun, the quicker guys get past quite easily so its not like you get stuck behind someone to often. If you act like a tool, you will be black flagged

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
