In a bold bid to cut speeding deaths on our roads, authorities have designed a campaign to shame men into driving slower.

Built around the slogan "Speeding. No one thinks big of you", the campaign implies that men who drive fast are only doing so to compensate for having small appendages.

See advert here

In explaining the campaign, the RTA says: "Many young guys see speeding as cool.

"All the ads in the world showing the serious injury and death that speeding can cause are becoming less effective.

"Increasingly, young guys simply reject this message. They have an 'it won't happen to me attitude'.

"The 'Speeding. No one thinks big of you' campaign takes a totally different approach.

"It offers young drivers an immediate consequence speed and people will think poorly of you.

"It purposely talks to young guys in their language.

"Testing of the finished ad has shown this is a very salient thought that will change young drivers' behaviour. It could very well be the thread that unravels the mindset that speeding is cool."

How f**king stupid is the RTA? They reckon this one ad is going to change young drivers' behaviour? Its also a bit sexist - there are more than a few girls in the automotive subculture these days. Telling girls they've got a small penis will probably make them stop driving fast will be about as effective as telling me smoking while pregnant will make me quit cigarettes.

street drag racing yeah i agree guys are the main culprits i see it all the time particularly those who drive old commodores etc, but as far as casual speeding goes, ie: doing ten over the limit the whole way to work so you get there on time, or speeding to get to a rock and roll concert etc, is mostly women

i don't even know why i'm posting in this thread...

..i mean, who the HELL cares what i think?

Ive seen the ad and I cracked up laughing so hard.. It obviously applies to men because we have the highest death toll on the rd (young men 18-24) So why not focus on the bigger target?

I thought the ad might actually effect some people driving .. made me actually find a funny side to being stupid lol

it might catch on like the tosser ads run for littering

LOL. telling girls they have small penis' hahahaha, what will the rta think of next

i can't believe people think I have a small cock cause I do burnouts out the front of the wangarratta pub? next time I'm going to drive around with my fly unzipped and if I see any chicks or old ladies making the weener symbol I'm going to stop, and flop the ol trouser snake over the door sill whilst I do a burnout with my meat and 2 veg draped over the door. that'll teach 'em. then we'll see who's the weener.

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
