dick johnson's got the idea - good to see him get into the whole lakeside and hooning.

But he said more facilities should made available for car-loving teens to stop them from racing on city streets.
RACQ spokesman Gary Fites said it had to be acknowledged that young people "like cars . . . it's a cultural phenomena".

"It's important to note that people who like fast flashy cars, shouldn't necessarily be targeted because they like fast flashy cars," he said.

but wtf?!

Building tracks for amateur enthusiasts would not solve the problem because a "fair percentage" of illegal racers were anti-social.

no news here..

illegal and organisde street racing, etc goes on in every state, and has done for decades. Its just a bit easier to organise these days with technology.

It takes place in melbourne, sydney, and S.E. QLD.. no big deal, it just seems all of a sudden the media has worked it out after all this time.

Racing in redcliffe isnt a new thing, I remember back in 1989 going to Anzac ave sat nights to watch them race up and down it until the cops came, lucky we used to park a couple of blocks away at a mates and tell the cops we were just walking home from the beach and didnt know what was going on.....

Musta been a slow news Sunday!

yeah, its no big news that people race in morayfield and redcliffe, but some of the information and 'facts' that the 'reporter' (i prefer to think of them as storytellers...) of this story has come up with are utter crap... grrrr... makes my blood boil.

in the story, they made reference to cars 'lapping' in morayfield as if it was the end of the world or something?!?!?! No mention of anything illegal or anything, just driving around....!!?!?!?!?!?!

I mean, ffs!!!!

meh, they run a story like this every year or so to keep the people aware that cops are still trying to stop hoons. that is all it is, to stir up a bit of a crack down, then it all dies down again. it's ahppened before it'll happen again. that young guy mite not have said any of thise sthings, the paper mite have made them all up for all we know, but if he did, hes a tool. sif u will get away, your not in the melenium falcon any more toto!

3 decades that I know of and more before that

Its like that episode of the Simpsoms when they ban beer.

In the end they will have to accept it and work with it.

It'll be always there!

Nothing new in that story....

I mean Cyrus is right i remember going to Anzac Ave back in the early 90's like 12 years ago...

Also the top speed 220kph was not up anzac ave... They just made it sound that way...

What an idiot talking to the reporters and letting them take a photo of him.; (I know who it is) and as if people wont not know who it was.

I dont encourage racing..... I just like watching...

yeah, like u guys say, nothing new....

i remember going to anzac avenue when i was in year 11 in highschool (about 6 years ago now) and sitting outside brisbane carsound/maccas and watching people doing laps or racing from the lights there etc...

there were some tough cars around back then *sighs*

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
