big col

I've gone past two of these new poliscans in the past few days. One was on hepburn ave and another was on beach road. My radar detector (escort redline) picked up the one on hepburn ave about 150m away in medium traffic, and picked up the one on beach road about 100m away with no traffic ahead and on top of a crest. BTW how to the new red light/speed cameras work? My radar detector hasn't gone off at all sitting at the lights even when I saw someone speed up to get through the amber too late and run a red light.

These stories don't count if you are on your P plates. Police will harass ANY P plater no matter what car they are driving for the tiniest offence or even suspicion. I've driven my skyline daily for 4 years now without P plates and I've only been pulled over when I've been a naughty boy. Haven't been pulled over for a RBT or anything like that by a patrol car.

In my experiences the cops don't treat you any worse. I've been caught by hand-held lasers a couple of times (just doing a few k's over) with the radar detector in full view. I think it actually makes the cops happier, because they managed to "catch" you even though you had a radar detector. The cops either mentioned whether it went off or completely ignored the radar detector. Just given me a warning or a ticket and sent me on my way, didn't start giving me a hard time with a RBT, checking tyres, asking me to pop the hood, etc. The multinovas are getting phased out anyway and replaced by laser so it doesn't matter if they ban them eventually. Everybody will just end up getting those parking sensors that also just happen to jam laser. I find the radar detectors are great for knowing when emergency services or roadworks are about... I've always wondered how deaf drivers know about emergency vehicles without checking their mirrors for flashing lights every second?

No idea about the new point to point speed cameras, but the other night on channel nine news they said police were starting to use the new LIDAR speed cameras. The ones that are laser based instead of radar based and can capture photos of the front and back of vehicles traveling in both directions across two lanes each side. They are going to rake in the cash on people going 5-10km/s over the limit especially with the point to point speed cameras. They might as well just make it illegal to drive and force everybody onto public transport.... they'd still make money so it wouldn't surprise me

they should ban this event from perth now and bring the rally back!

Yeah tyres make a huge difference. When I bought the car it had some crappy linglongs that had zero grip in the wet. Had to drive sooo much slower than other traffic as the slightest touch of gas (even on flat roads) would spin the wheels. Got some decent tyres soon after and the difference is night and day. If you have good tyres and still can't drive in the wet without the backend stepping out you shouldn't be driving. Especially if you're one of those losers who tailgate when it's raining or take corners at the same speed as if the road was dry... I don't want to see you in my rear view mirror.

I use Peak 98 and filled up today without any issues.

I drove through a pretty long deep puddle other people were too scared of driving through (doing u-turns even 4wds lol). It wouldn't have reached the POD filter but sure would have got to the intercooler. Don't think any water got into the engine as I didn't notice any major differences when driving today. I assume it would be really noticeable if you bent a con-rod like running without a cylinder firing pretty much? Mates lancer got hit with hail stones and he just recently took the natural disaster off his insurance to get a cheaper premium haha "There are never any natural disasters in perth..."

My aircon works great on 18 degrees... then you bump it up to 19 degrees and it's like maximum heat lol. So I'm left with the option of either freezing cold or boiling hot

Well reading what autoworx quoted I would say it isn't illegal to have a turbo timer installed. But it would be illegal to have it turned on and running for any more than 0 seconds after you turn the ignition off.

Whitfords ave near wanneroo road seems to get new pot holes every week in the same sections of the road. They patch them up and then a week later there will be a new pot hole 1 foot away from the patched one they've just done. Maybe they should spend some of that money they make from speeding tickets on that road to actually fixing said road properly.

I like how you can capture videos so you can share them. More games need this feature! Here's a couple of my videos That mountain track is pure awesome. Shame the new GTR isn't in the game, hopefully it will be available as download content later on.

I got the custom number plate NUMBAPL8... wicked hey? /sarcasm everyone knows custom plates are lame

they're all pretty dodgy IMO. I'd pick innaloo if I had to. Armadale train line is the worst you're better off just stabbing yourself at home.

Can someone please PM the name of this workshop? My issue is not that they drove the car without permission but that they lied about it afterwards.. what else are they prepared to lie about? Wouldn't trust my vehicle to a liar no matter how much it was worth.
