oh dear! guess thats what happens when you're hyper from watching or participating in legal drags!!! sux that they have chosen to target it now with everything thats happening... least they are only targeting speeding and not defecting people... that would hurt knowing that you've been targeted by an undercover for doing awesome times... then get out and have a hwp defect you for all your illegal bits... :P

well I was looking at the chart of cars confiscated over NSW and I can be pleased to say not a single car confiscated in the area in which I live.

The police and government in this country are hell bent on crackpot laws that fark with peoples lifestyles. I'm over being angry I just pretend it's not happening....

actually people do get hyped up after advents ive been to the drifts a few times and seen spectators leave the place like there driving on the track. ive also raced competivly for 20 yrs at speedway and seen the same thing with people leaving the car park like there driving a sprintcar .

plenty of times at murry bridge the coppers put a bretho on the road out of the speedway sometimes the fans are there own worst enemy and think when they get done the worlds agianst them

where can u view these so called list of confiscated cars? :P

They should have been at WSID in uniform.

that way, people there will see them and not do anything stupid afterwards.

but they decided to be sneaky instead.

oh well.

sucks to be a sydneysider!! hahahaha

damn queenslander! >_< go whore over in the qld section :(

where can u view these so called list of confiscated cars? >_<

think it was in SMH (either that or daily telegraph) it had a big map of NSW, with the number of cars in each local government area that have been confiscated. from memory bankstown was highest or second with 12 cars, quite a few in liverpool area and blacktown area too. none in my area :(

I'm on the fence on this 1.

It's a fact of life these days to expect police to be in these type of area's picking up speeding drivers. I'd rather the cops spend an hour waiting outside an event like this than spending an entire weekend out cruising the hwy's picking them off 1 at a time. It's a much smarter way of doing business from the police point of view. If the police were to start defecting then I would be pissed.

Anybody that enters/exits the WSID/EC venues driving over the speed limit deserves to get a ticket, the police have been doing it since the day WSID opened and will do it until the day it closes. The 2 roads are the perfect area to go a casual 10 or 20 over the speed limit (60km/h) which can easily be done without even deliberately meaning it. I do the drive atleast once a week and atleast once a week I get some idiot flashing me from behind or overtaking me because they can't handle sitting on 60km/h behind me.

The problem is that not all attendee's of WSID are into cars like users of this forum are. Their are the people that are into it seriously and compete, their are spectators that are enthusiasts that either compete casually or would like to compete, their are regular joe's that enjoy watching the sport but have no other interests (and drive camry's) and then their are the "hoons" which have enough money to spectate but not enough money (or brains) to compete or simply don't think it is cool enough doing it legally on the strip. I'd throw a $50 on it that these were the majority of drivers that were booked outside the venue.

It is quite annoying that the media decide to show footage of the legal drag racing and tie it in with illegal street racing and/or speeding drivers. The general public are left with images of young people doing burnouts and speeding cars in their head when in actual fact it was all perfectly legal.

What annoys me most is that on sunday I drove 400km/h to Newcastle and back and didn't see 1 single cop car, not 1 single hwy patrol on the m4, m2 or f3.

You drove at 400km/h?!?!?!?!?!

What the hell were you in????

wht tha >_<

nah srsly.i wa sdoing nofin rong. n da coPs cam and busted my ace,Yo! we was sittn aRround looking Sick kents.n day busted us like we was f*kin up da hood.now me Car is impounDeded and i think that im going 2 loose my Job if I dont have aNy transportatin to werk.im so sorrY to me Gf,she has stuck by me eva since i came hoMe in me SkyliNe.she loves me So much i waNt to do stuff but noW da cash flo aint happnin and she has allreade started packinin yo!

on top ov daT ME MATE HAD PARTS STOlEN FROM DA IMPOUND LOT.farkn carnt win.<<.

f*kn Cops!!

Bottom line is - cheif of police sai he doesn't understand what it will take to get through to hoons.

Well, what he should do is find someone who does rather than just doing stuff that's just going to alienate the police further.

A mate brought up an interesting comment on another forum, regarding the crushing cars thing. Lets say you're given it a bit of a hit and you see the party lights come on. You know that you'll probably get tagged for street racing, and your pride and joy is on the way to the crusher.

So, do they stop and wait for the cop, or do they try and outrun them? They've generally got no air support, so its not like they need to try losing a helicopter. If the cops catch them, the car is gone either way.

What do you think these idiots, who are more than happy to street race in built up areas, are going to do?

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
