Peter if you don't like revenue then move to Somalia they have a GREAT tax system i hear seriously though... it wouldn't raise THAT much revenue, it's more a deterrant! put it this way - if the state government actually relied on the revenue of speeding fines we would be a very un-developed nation... i'm not going to argue or debate with you because you've raised valid points and so have i... let's just agree to disagree! -
FINALLY a pic... haha paint looks NEAT on it man! you should mod the tails ;-) clear out the bottom half, and red tint on the top like this yeah? now... more pics =) EDIT - forgot to say glad to see you bought it - i didn't think you would lol! enjoying it?

guys lay off yeah? he's new... as much as this thread is a bit of a larf this isn't the wasteland so please lay off the full blown nasty comments... la bomba is being ironic when he says he yells out at chicks and wants to look hektik. he's only having a joke... he wants an import for the same reasons you guys do... he came to SAU with the wrong mindset but has since learned a lot and changed his mindstate... so please - give the guy a chance, we were all noobs once! la bomba - what car did you end up getting? have pics?

i'm not really in hunting mode, like... i don't have my spear out and roam the plains looking for tyre tracks to see if i can follow the scent and kill the tyre to eat it man... ell oh ell. no but seriously i'm in no hurry i just had to do an epic skid to avoid getting hit the other day and the tyre's worn thru to the belt. which saddens me greatly.

....personally i'd be crying if my head tube blew out and my face ate the dirt as a direct result of my carbon frame breaking... i would especially be crying if a tube went... into my body. like the whole thing LOL. there was this one time. not at bandcamp. i was chilling on my giant rincon and went down a curb, and the shock absorber popped open and shot the insides into my face, and the inner gas cylinder went into my eye brow. shit was SO pain. i was also upset. but then TBE helped me out by getting me a nice priced giant alias and gave me my money back for my rincon, because giant couldn't source the same part... or a part that fit even into my hulky frame... months later i found out giant had been taken to court for said dodgy shock absorber. which was why they couldn't "source" the part shit was SO sneaky. marc. will a vittoria rubino be much different to zaffiro? the TPI rating on zaffiro is lower but are cheap as chups. rubino = reliable and hell. (7 months riding and still unscathed except the other day i had to skid for like a whole year to avoid a mazda 3 pulling out of a dominoes)

Mr Eps replied to yellow300zx's topic in General Automotive Discussion
haha... peter the age old arguement to that is - it shouldn't matter if they're black green pink or metallic... if you don't speed. you won't get flashed... you don't get fined... i guess also it created paranoia so people think "i know not to speed here cos there's often speed cameras placed here" if people slow down from fear in that "one stretch of road" then the cameras have done their job! -

ahhhhhh okay now i've finished kickboxing and am ready to enter the forray of SAU ok - GTRPowa - again - there's NO animosity from to you - but please try to understand you literally turned my hair grey this afternoon!!! i know what you're thinking "harr harr!!! mister eps made a funny joak!" but seriously. you're lucky yesterday was payday, because i had to spend about 200 bucks worth of just for men hair dye so that i can be socially acceptable again. do you have any idea what it's like going thru the coles checkout with that much justformen and the girl behind the counter is like "so how's your day been" and i'm like "yeah okay" and she's pretending to not look at my hair which you turned gray BUTIKNOWSHE'SLOOKINGICANFEELHEREYESYAKNOW!!!! =) so yeah... also, yellow300zx... we don't need a petition against speed cameras, that won't do anything. TRUST me on that one, speed cameras are here to stay... whether they save lives or revenue raise is not up to us to make that call - one thing we can all agree on.. is STOP SPEEDING. and they've done their job. if we slow down and they're there to save lives - good on them if we slow down and they're just revenue raisers - good on us. one thing that remains a common factor is - don't speed... and you won't get flashed. as for what GTRpowa said, i've never heard of stock BOV's getting pinged for defects, maybe years ago when the "modification" scene went out of hand, and it advanced to the point where police were unsure as to what's legal and illegal (really can you blame theM? they don't spend their days on car forums! to the police's's's respect, they've actually cracked down on old bombs - a lot. at least they have here in WA and i think they're doing a good job.. HONESTLY i do. as for us as "car enthusiasts" we all should now know that if police are cracking down on us, take the precautions to help their decision of whether or not to give you a defect ... that is... if your pod filter isn't braced. brace it. if your tyres have camber wear,. fix your camber, if your HIDs blind on coming drivers, maybe they weren't meant to be... if your suspension is too low to get over speed bumps... it can't be fun to drive... and is asking for trouble. OP - you're a seldom poster, as is GTRPowa... but hopefully you already know this stuff... as for threads like this - SAU can do without them... i have heard that police DO monitor certain car forums etc to see if people are discussing hoon activity and cruise maps etc - and threads like this one don't really help (that said i doubt they monitor SAU... other forums would be more likely... not naming names though) -
headlight reconditioners EFI specialists panel beaters painters windscreen repair window tinters uhhhhmmmm car audio installers (not auto electricians!) auto engineers that's "AFTER BUILD" professions... not like... before build professions.. and mind you this is thinking back of clients we had when i worked at Capricorn Society... (these people would be great to give a call - they're a plethora of info on this subject!) then there's designers, etc...

no. ps. IBTL! -
get your creative juices flowing you guys!!!! i want some help... for some years - i've always admired the K12 March, (aka micra) often people who "modify" them tend to go the tuner look... big wheels, bodykit, coilovers etc... last night i was thinking what if someone took the Micra... and ... just on the cheap... made it a rockabilly themed rat rot with THIS theme shouldn't be too hard... just - satin black paint. moondisc hubcaps, red rim, white wall tyres.. reason i was thinking of this was because - the VW beetle often lends it's styling to this modification platform but the beetle is: old dangerous unsafe dodgy no electronic features not fun to own micra has "bubbly" styling to it's appeal much like a beetle... only difference is... micra has airbags and seatbelts that work and brakes that work etc... micra would look great as a rat rod... so can you guys get creative? help me out? i'm trying to convince a friend to do this

you can go with them, they're just doing their job... inspection DOES involve taking your car for a drive and making sure it doesn't carreen to the left or have wobbly steering... and yeah - get the bracket from bunnings... as for the "car having to be towed to the pits" that's a load of bull. cops clearly trying to scare you. a yellow sticker is a two week or however long time frame to get the car roadworthy and legal and inspected, if the dept of transport deem more owrk order, they give you a month. your car can be driven ANYWHERE ANYTIME HOW YOU SEE FIT during that two week "yellow sticker period" anytime OUTSIDE the date of the yellow sticker, the car may ONLY be driven to licensing centres, or to have work carried out by a mechanic etc... for the police officer in question to tell you otherwise must either not be up to date with legalities, or just having a laugh. sounds like you have some work to do - my advice... do as much work as you can - don't hide ANYTHING. spray the underside and engine bay with degreaser to get it looking nice n clean, take it to the inspection centre and treat the staff with respect... chances are - they'll find something wrong on your car and you might have more work to carry out... so don't talk yourself into beleiving your car will pass inspection in case it breaks your heart, all the best!!!
