I think the problem with the AntiSEVS petition is that in the past people knew that internet petitions weren't worth the paper they were printed on ... so they get a bit hesitant or won't even bother participating in one. it might be interesting to see what would happen if a magazine like hot4s or fast fours put something up about it ... hmmmm now what were their email addresses again?

WTF!!?!!?! That's f*cking INSANE:thumbdwn:

Such a waste of good stuff. I thought they had to take it back to stock for compliancing and then add the extras and re-comply it. Compliancing's gonna go thru the roof!!

Hot Nappy Jan! :chairshot:

Yep agree with Aleks. Definetely some polies are getting paid under the table for this one.  

Surgprised so few signed the anti SEVS petition. Last time I looked it was around 370. Not much for whole of Australia.

I tried to sign the on-line petition but the website was playing up, and I must have tried it close to 10 times...

Maybe in their quest to shut down our fun they've sabotaged the web page so that it won't work when we try to add our own names... Maybe...

That's actually why I'm on this thread - I was looking for more info to try the website again, to see if it works this time.

The government did this years ago..basically they either put a ban on most imports or made it very, very costly to make the ozzy car industry flourish(something like that)...but instead over time the ozzy car companies bludged cause they didnt have as much competition and the australian made cars were years behind in technology compared to overseas cars....the government is pucked... I learnt that at school!!!! hehe!!!

something went funny with that site....I signed very early (i was like the 10th person) and 24 hours later there were close to 1000 sigs...

then it went down to around 370 (like you said) and didn't seem to change :confused:

I think you'll find the real figure is alot different...i saw it posted on SO many forums. Maybe GoldZilla is right, it's been sabotaged :)

    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
