I have a highly ranked traffic cop and a good long term mate who is training to be a traffic cop at the moment.

The rules shocked me a bit! Police can do ANY speed they want IF the conditions are not putting any other road users lifes or safety at risk, under the condition that they have NOT engaged lights or sirens. They may do ANY speed to get to you, but once they engage/call through a chase, it's a maximum of 40km/h over the legal speed limit.

Had my fair share of Police chases. Stupid stupid days. I've realised how f**ken much of a tool I was!

There's the old gokart track (Big Track) in Bayswater just next to Tonkin Hwy.. someone should look into turning it into a drift track where we can go and burn some rubber not on public streets :)

wow didn't know that either. once awhile ago this highway patrol car would have easily been doing double the speed limit on residential roads to catch up to me at around 5pm when all the kids are out...

It's a sweet track, when it was open it was the first place I went gokarting at and it was wet at the time. The guys were all like "no being stupid out there now" but after a few laps of watching us get completely sideways round every corner they were cheering us on!

But yeah, I've always wanted to get a car on there and tossed this idea round before. Would require lots of badgering of the council I'd say and a pretty hefty insurance premium but I would love to help out however I can. Good Luck!

Morley karts yeah?

My grandad was very involved in starting gokarting in wa and helped build a go kart track that used to be right next to burswood train/casino! Imagine that! Anyway, I'll see if he can help!!

May need to be widened a little.. :(

or we could all build some of these.. insane. I got a vid at home of the GSXR powered kart but I can't find a vid online.. filename should be something like gixxerkart.wmv if someone has more time than me :)

SR32: Big Track is in Bayswater, you can just see it on the west side of the Tonkin Hwy near the Collier Rd intersection :)

Ok kool, I'll ask him for help!

Would be awesome.

You guys know Drift WA has 2 drift events planned for Collie next year?

Dates are in April and probably October. Basic training will be available to those that want it from instructors on the skid pan and then onto the track.

This 160 km/h stuff is BS, they just don't call it in or fail to report their speed. I know plenty of people who bragged about going 180+ and the coppers keep chasing. They are the law, they do what they want. All these 'oh no they cant chase me cause of this blah blah' is just out in the public to keep the old people happy. You can't whinge if they say its a law, not that they ever follow it ?

Ive mellowed alot lately, but its fair to say I would at one time live by the motto "never stop"

***edited***

These days with the police driving performance vehicles the odds of getting away are slimmer.

These days i keep my stupid shit to the track :laugh:

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.

      Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
