Was there moments after the acco. I thought for certain a fatality due to the tree a third into the drivers cabin, but alas it was critical head injuries. Definate drag racing down Canb ave, broad daylight in traffic. A huge effort by the P plater to get the car in that sort of position. There was some army guy holding the drivers hand when I passed by.

What amazes me is the number of Police cars racing to the accident. Worse than blowflys on the preverbial.

Absolutely no need to close any of the lanes off and they wern't when I was going by. I think they were eventualy closed so that so many police, ambos etc.. could park for a better view.

a guy came into work who'd seen it. he said the kid driving overtook him and another guy between the lanes doing at least 160k's. then locked up the wheels for about a hundred metres straight into the tree. that's pretty full on.

It may sound a bit harsh when a life is on the line,but I believe in natural selection;the stupid will kill themselves off...

Street racing? Only for the stupid and fullsiks...

I dont think that is harsh for the reason he brought it all upon himself he got nobody to blame , it just lucky that nobody else got taken out that could add to the gene pool

I totally agree!

Natural Selection, Darwin'ism

Thankfully he removed him self from the gene pool

Ya drive that fast- in that area- Idiot

Live fast, die young, die ugly!

Let that be a lesson to the rest of the idiots...

This will probably mean they crack down on P Platers…

Even more...

Idiot

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
