Well.... that makes it all OK then doesn't it. :)

So once you have done an advanced driving course, it's OK to drag people on the streets and endanger innocent lives?

I'm sorry, but I don't care if you've done an advanced driving course or not, if you completed an advanced driving course, then why are you still treating other peoples lives with such blatant disregard?

(Not to mention that advanced driving courses are conducted under controlled conditions)

Some people never grow up......

As for the Advance Driver Course, the one thing they hope you walk away with is an attitude conducive to better/safer driving, not car control.

i assure you i did not do this dangerously in anyway as i work for a motor company and have been on an advanced driving course.  

Driving at anytime can be dangerous, and plenty of good people loose their lives or well being in simple/terrible car accidents. If your going to race on the street at least respect the fact that IT IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!

... or are you saying you have better car control then Possum Bourne, and somehow can see into the future.

i dont think you can get a fine for the drag on calder man.

im pretty sure if u do u can contest it, cause she has no proof. unless u told her how fast u were goin. then its ur word against hers. u should of said u were doin about 110, and u werent too sure cause u were too busy looking at the guy who was "stalking you", you were afraid, life in danger etc... etc... bullshit.

just hope u dont get it.

R31 Skyline Chick...

I am sure that if we followed you around on a daily basis with a camera, filming your every move in your R31, we would see you breaking the law some-how as well.

Sorry to say this but you seem to be on some sought of HIGH HORSE in regards to your driving. Well I am sorry but I just don't believe it.

We are car enthusiasts and in my opinion I believe that the best place to drive our cars properly is on the track.

HOWEVER, that is not possible all the time, therefore if someone chooses to give their car a bit of a run once in a while, let them, that's why we bought them. It is not as if we are drink driving or driving under the influence of drugs etc...anyone who does that has s**t for brains.

In summing up, get your hand off it. (I in no way mean to offend)

... as you state, I'm an enthusiast... not a rev head.

I feel no desire to go around being a menace on public roads.

Follow me around with a camera if you must. :P

How is it any less dangerous to drive at high speeds on public roads?

Might as well be drunk, because at least when you kill someone you can say

"I'm sorry your honour, I was having an alcoholic blackout at the time of the accident, and I don't recall killing 2 entire families."

It sounds a lot better than

"I'm sorry your honour, I was just bored and had nothing better to do, so I thought I'd go and kill some people and blame it on the car."

:uh-huh:

That is a bit harsh and blown out of proportion. What I would call "Not spot on"

Have you had a bad experience with cars/accidents or something because I sence a bit of hostility?

I am an enthusiast and a rev-head...generalise me if you must.

I go to Willowbank and drag my Skyline because I like to do it. I don't however go out and drive over the speed limit because : "I am out hunting for 2 entire families to kill"

Again...calm down and re-read what you have been typing.

1)I do not condone any form of dangerous driving on public roads that puts innocent peoples lives at risk.

2)Every day you drive your car you put innocent lives at risk. Shit happens and that is life. Driving responsibly will always safe-guard you from accidents but will never fully protect you.

It is all a part of growing up, and mistakes are such for a reason, they teach lessons.

Maybe that's the problem....

I'm all grown up. :P

I've lost enough innocent mates to terrible road accidents.

I have zero tolerence for people being assholes on the road.

Public roads aren't for playing games.

If you want to be a terrorist, go to Iraq. :)

[edit]

I don't need to re-read what I've written, I'm well aware of how I sound, maybe when you lose some mates to someone elses stupidity, you may realise where I'm coming from.

Hopefully you won't need to lose anyone close to you before you realise what I'm talking about...

Maybe when you have children of your own, you might understand how precious life is.

Nobody is invincible.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.

      Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
