also in for pg1.

so you want someone who has gotten a provisional licence for work ONLY (IE you!) to come pick you up (assuming its NOT you and you have a licence) so they can risk a 12 month TOTAL BAN on driving ..

bright one einstein - its meant for work only!

I think there was actually a ruling change kick in this year, as they worked out at long bloody last they need to get harder on drink drivers. So I dont think you (sorry your mate) can get anything now, its goneskis!

That said, you/he would have been told in court if you/he were given a work licence. So I think its safe to say no he/you dont.

sorry guys, ive never drank and drove, so stop with ya whinging keyboard warriors shyte, i was asking the question on behalf of my mate, and i do not have a licence either because of defects/hooning etc, if i was the one who did drink drive i wouldnt deny it, fair is fair, but thanks for the help anyway, and he said they didnt tell him at court as he didnt enquire about it. and chris rogers, he was the one who wanted to come pick me up, and i said its not a good idea but im not goin to stop him, because he does it with his other mates anyway, i jst wanted to let him know of the consequinces (sp?) involved.

in4pg1...your mate doesn't sound bright...tell him to ride out what small amounts left on his suspension and stop driving in case he hits one of our cars and isnt insured...coz that'll really suck....for us. Not to mention him and his total ban from driving and loss of money. Btw I dont think anyone in here is buying the whole "my friend" story!

good luck to you and "your friend"

Matt

hey the procedure of the ruling is this

your caught for drink driving,

police give you a suspension notice for 24hours (aslong as its not a high blood alocohol concentration level)

If it is a high level, you will be suspended up until court date.

you can apply to have you licence up until court, if your suffering from severe hardship, and qld transport will give you a replacement licence with the X4 condition,

When comes time to court, depending on if you need your licence for work, and suffering severe hardship work, they will either issue you with a work licence for a period of time and qld transport will reissue you with a provisional licence( which you hold for 12 months, then goes back to an open licence after that) and with the X1 condition.

X1 condition is you have to obide by the letter given to you by the courthouse regarding the work licence and when you can drive etc.

You can apply to have the X1 condition removed when the restricted licence is finished, and qld transport will take another happy snap free of charge.

If you cant apply for a work licence, then your just disqualified for a period of time, and just go back to qld transport to have your licence reissued once its finished. You will still go back to a provisional licence for 12 months. If you are already on a provisional licence when your caught for DUI, the time remaining for when you go to an open gets extended obviously from the time you were disqualified for.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
