yes i was going to do a similar thing regarding pod filters and blowoff valves.

go tyo the wreckers and buy heaps of cheap rubbish bov and 20 dollar pod filters and just place them all in the engine bay. some cabletied to stuff and others still in the box. so clearly not doing anyhing.

then go for a cruise threw the city and get pulled up. it would be pretty funny to see what they did lol

The only time i get hassled by cops is when i break the law (in referance to cars)

I was searched and questioned once, after i had personally called the police to report a crime... Idiot cops couldn't understand the difference between behind the shops, and infront of the shops... Nor would they listen to anything we said... they even searched a muffin we threw in the bin... wtf is wrong with these people?

They don't have to have the 90 or 100 limit on them.

I asked that question before.

Also, they need to be displayed on the front or rear of the vehicle. Not directly along side the number plate.

And it's illegal to drill/cut a number plate to (It's called defacing!)

I've been printing off alot of legislation to keep in my car too.

Here is how I display my plates...

Yep, my car is dirty :D

I've been followed by the law a few times with them displayed like this and haven't been pulled over once. Wouldn't have a clue if it would conform to whatever rules they may have in place but they seem to work as they are. I just use the existing holes in the number plates and the P plates and blot the together using a M4 x 10mm bolt. Tight fit but does the job.

The only reason I do this is because I used to use those static stick on ones you put in the window, that in the previously mentioned letter was explained wasn't good enough... so I bolted the P plates to my number plates of my Subaru, the front number plate tucked somewhat conviniently under the front bumper. I figure if they can't see my Ps, they can't see my number plate either :O. Then I got the Skyline and decided to do the same thing

Have to say though, I was once told by a police person at school that magnetic plates where the best option, but if an officer on a bad day is going to book you for that, I don't think its worth the grief...

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
