How many old rusted out cars do you think they took off the road to make it safer for the rest us.

None ...of course.

Just another reminder that modified cars are the scapegoat for our road's problems. Own a modded car - expect to be hassled. If you stay away from trouble, you should stay out of trouble. I haven't been to Aspley Macca's or Harry's (do these still exist??) for a few years and hence havent had any cop trouble for a few years. Although, i dont know if you could have avoided it if you were just coming home from a day on the beach last night.

IM KAOS was just minding his own business but was not impounded by police as the story stated.. voluntarily put his car on the tow truck after receiving 7 defects and a big yellow sticker across his window!!

frank,

doesn't matter if you have nothing illegal on your car... they will still find something to fine you for...

when i was sent to the pits at pineapple street a while back, there was a girl there in a brand new SS Commodore Ute... she had literally driven it off the showroom floor that morning, yet they still sent her to the pits... she had a fine/defect, but i can't remember what it was for...

well, if he has a yellow sticker across his window... i assume that its a defective vehicle one which means the car cant be driven, so he didnt really voluntariary put it on a tow truck...

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
