Yeah, I still have full points, but I have lost my license before. Guess I'll be copping them all. Just pisses me off that the cops would hide there for so long in a spot that clearly isn't dangerous, just a good place to catch people.

I've just received a second speeding ticket in a matter of days for getting caught in the same spot twice, and I fear a third will be on the way. Quite simply I didn't see the camera till I drove past there at night and caught the flash (this one I haven't received yet). The camera was on the highway about 50 meters before a 90kph sign, and I've been caught both times at around 87-88ks (its an 80 zone before the sign). Is there anyway I can contest this? I don't mind copping one fine, but all 3? Being on my P's that's more than half my points! Could I claim that I didn't realise that section was still 80 (I honestly thought speeding up when you saw the next sign was legal), and that the following two fines are unfair as I didn't receive my first fine before getting clocked for the following two? Thanks for any input.

Advan TCII. Great rim, very light weight, plenty of brake clearance, good looking and come in nice widths. Because I currently have them on my car. Funny thing is I had no idea what they were when I bought my car (neither did the seller), turns out they're worth nearly half as much as the car itself!

Put me down as a maybe. I live on the Mornington Peninsula so I'll just meet up with as you pass on your way to Portsea. Edit: I'll see if I can round up a few of the locals too.

I'd say cutting into the roof and installing a sunroof would be a costly process. I'd personally buy the white one and respray it a unique red, rather than install an aftermarket sunroof on the red. Then again, Nismoman's idea is even better.

That would be a fun car to drive.

How many other owners of that model there (if any) do you reckon had greedy thoughts about their now even rarer car going up in value?

Call Athid, search the forums for his number. Don't have it on me sorry. Edit: Sorry, just realised you wanted to borrow the tool. Call Athid if you good quality job done cheap, but still expect to pay.

I'm simply pointing out that its cheaper to reach 150rwkw in an NA 2JZ, than an an NA RB30, and that's including initial purchase price of each car. And a full exhaust and intake gives 150rwkw on a healthy NA Supra (i.e a Supra putting down 130rwkw without mods) and unhealthy motor will see 120rwkw stock and 140rwkw with exhaust and intake. I understand he probably loves his VLs and doesn't want a Supra, but I'm just making a point in case he does change his mind.

Just buy an NA Supra. 120-130rwkw out of the bag. Do all your basics, exhaust, intakes etc. You'll see 150rwkw.

Time to close the Varex.

I did a fair bit of research before purchasing them. Basically they're the best bang for your buck tyre you can get. Great value. However their semi slick pattern doesn't make them the best in the wet. I stomped the brakes in the wet recently though just to see how the performed and they're no worse than my last street tyres.

I got my 275/35/18 Kumhu KU36s (pair) fitted for less than $550. I doubt 265's would cost much more. http://www.ontherunmotorsports.com/ Dirt cheap, and a cool place to hang out whilst they change them.

Heh, C and G aren't even that close. Must've had games on the brain.

I disagree, my Honda Odyssey was the shit. You could fit 8 adults comfortably, fold the seats down and fit an entire mattress in the back, had a ridiculous amount of cup holders and did awesome handbrake skids in the free carpark at Uni. Those were the days, lol.

Some JVC ones that game with the car.

Buy a Toyota Chaser

Hey guys, One of my speakers has started playing up. The sound coming out of it doesn't sound right, and when ever it tries to play low frequencies (even at a low volume) it makes this terrible... burping/farting noise. Does this mean my speaker is dead, or has a wire just come loose somewhere or something? Cheers.

OTR imports sells Kumho KU36's very cheap!

I hope this is more about stopping organised drag meets etc, rather than just pulling over any modified car.

I'd try it. Sure you might not drift amazingly, but you'll get a good grasp of how your car reacts when cornering and when you lose control. Besides, isn't there something you can disconnect in the drivetrain that makes your GTR RWD only?

Dig a hole in the backyard and drive over it!

Should I leave the Kumho KU36s on for this, or resort to the unknown brand of tyres that came with my stockies? I doubt there will be much wear on the tyres, considering it so wet, but would the semi-slick pattern affect the grip on my front tyres?

Alright guys, you've convinced me. I'll track the Supra a bit, see if I enjoy it and learn the basics of racing. My main concern was the brakes not for improved lap times on anything, but for safety reason. Where would be a good place to start? There' a Sandown event on the supraforums coming up, but what I've heard about Sandown is its power orientated course (which is why the Supra's probably love it). I don't know what brake fade feels like, I've just heard horror stories. I'd rather learn about brake fade on a course like Winton which doesn't have high speed straights and walls waiting at the end. Thanks guys. Just another question while I'm here, has anyone bought a track car with a mate? I assume you go 50/50 on purchase and maintenance, but what happens if one person bins it? Do they repay you or is it just expected it might happen and you cope the loss?

Imagine the cop who would pull you over with a tiger sitting in the passenger seat! Sorry, I've always wanted to use that emoticon.
