how much longer to page 200?

mine shows page 199?

Spotted a nice clean white R32 on Milne Rd this afternoon. Gave a wave and got one back. Anyone here?

60 is the MAXIMUM speed, (not the expected speed) and if the driver considers that speed is unsafe they SHOULD drive slower. I have been behind these drivers and it can be agrivating, but consider if they are that bad at 45, how dangerous would they be at 60. I wouldnt be opposed to driving tests for everyone whenever you renew your licence to get drivers who are no longer safe on the roads off of them.

This has to be a P Plater comment. 1. Reflexes make little to no difference, most people are around 0.7 seconds on reaction tests and in that time the accident has already happened, its about predicting what will happen not reacting to what is happening (this is where experience counts, and why inexperienced drivers have more accidents - they just don’t see it happening until its too late. 2 pushing your car to its limits can only be done on a track, yet many P platers do it on the road. In testing your skills and the limits of your car you put others in danger. 3. A good driver need NEVER reach the limits. Its usually an inexperienced driver that gets themselves into such situations where they find their skills don’t measure up. Avoid getting into trouble more than worrying about how to react to it.

Just because you are not paranoid doesn’t mean they are not out to get you.

Could the P Platers who are so against these changes please take a copy of this thread and look at in another 15 years. There is way too much "woe is me" crap in here. Driving is a privilege not a right. I agree better driver training may be a good idea, but then you lot would complain that getting a licence was way to expensive (Just a guess but I would think it would cost another $500 to go to an accredited training facility - assuming they were not booked out 10 months in advance) And then we would have to deal with P Platers who think they are the next Schumacher, Kelly or Lowndes). As for other comments about having too much to concentrate on (speed indicators etc) to watch the road, this just proves you are inexperienced. If you cant keep you car below the speed limit then you don’t belong on the road. Remember the speed limit is the MAXIMUM speed, just because the sign says 60kmph doesn’t mean you cannot sit on 57kmph or less) Don’t get me wrong I am as guilty as many of you of exceeding the speed limit but I will accept the consequences of my actions if I am caught. I was a P Plater once and thought I was a good driver, but now I realise that I wasn’t, and that manoeuvres I took may have been OK for me, but didn’t take into account how others would react and the risk I put others in as drivers reacted to my manoeuvre. There is also the issue of the unexpected as a kid runs across the rd, a car blows a tyre and swerves onto your side of the road etc, etc. The roads will never be safe, but there are some things we can do to improve safety. Politicians are all about public perception and as long as the public see P platers as an issue the government will gain more respect than it will loose by introducing these measures. I agree P Platers are not the whole problem on the road and I could go on and on about old farts that should be taken off the road, but again public opinion is against this so governments wont act.

hi P1e long time no see

Just want to keep this thread alive, hav anyone found out anymore info, or better still tried this yet?

Malpassi dont get good press inthese forums, but I have seen them used in many top end drag cars so I doubt they are as crap as others make out. I am aware Malpassi make a few rising rate regulators of differing specifications so one possible problem may be that people are'nt using the correct model. Mine has given me no problems, but I am only putting out 250rwkw not 1000 so I havent needed to upgrade my fuel lines etc just my 2c

As said in the 2 above, its all about driver training. DONT TAILGATE and give yourself time to brake if the car infront of you locks up for no reason.

I just turned up the air con to 24 degrees, (from 22, was getting a little cold) LOL

Which Mitre 10 are you at? Happy to support and help SAU members and I reguarly use yjr hardware stores in the area.

I wont disagree with the others (I too have used boostworks and was happy with the work) , but I have also had good results at Morpowa and Tilbrooks. (both of whome are out my side of town).

You could try and use a little more self control, and/or a condom to avoid the stains in the first place. Tissues work well if you get the stain before it sets.

Its all about driver training. Flat spotting tyres is difficult (not impossible) if you drive properly. The secret to fast track laps isnt about puting the accelerator down, its about using the brakes properly. I amy be wrong, but I dont think any serious track cars use ABS, a good driver is better than the ABS computer at this stage.

Since we are so OLD ScCHOOL, why dont we meet at: The menbers section of SACA The Opera Out the front of ABC talkback Radio At the hip replacement clinic Or we could all meet for a game of Lawn Bowls (Ladies please bring a plate of Cucumber Sandwiches) Just a few ideas and places we are likley to know LOL

Sold it to a friend of Dangerman4 (Daren) He has been on a few cruises but not a regular on SAU

Car Sold.

This reminds me why Nissan allowed holden to made the VL, it was to keep the Fully Sik teenage Wog's out of skylines LOL It might be cheeper and easier to record the sound and play it through your 4000W car sterio - its fully sik maaaaate

Do you mean t sounded like it was scraping on the ground? "bottoming out" or was it an engine noise, perhaps a boost cut?

Spotted a number of 33's at TTP early this afternoon.

In a worst-case scenario, you can try and take them off with a cold chisel and a big hammer.

You can never have enough power, perhaps this should be a poll about how much MORE power you want LOL.

Spotted a nice 34 on Nelson Rd Para Hills this afternoon, waved.
