The Sa Wasteland

[RubyRS4]

I agree Adelaide's roads are a joke, but dislike it when people blame the roads in the event of a high speed accident. The roads are designed and made, and kept (tho sometimes poorly) for the speed limit posted for that particular road. Of course doing 150kph in a 60 zone 'bumpy' road is going to end in disaster. If the road was the only contributing factor to an accident, then go ahead, blame the road condition. But if high speed, drugs, and stupidity are involved ... its lame to blame the road's minor part in the accident.

However, I do wonder how many minor accidents (multi car or single) have been caused due to poor road care. I know my bike crash last year was due to a crappy road. But I don't whinge about it, these things happen.

South Road, O'Halloran Hill ... Port Road ... Lonsdale Road are good examples of crap roads that are potentially dangerous. Lonsdale Road is so bad, they lowered the speed limit, rather than fix the road.

I don't think anyone's blaming the road conditions for high speed/stupid driving accidents, but surely some of the minor incidents have been caused by road conditions.

I broke a RHF strut in a 60 zone because of a pot hole I didn't see!

they just had the minister for road safety on the radio

he thinks having a drag strip is the wrong aproach, as it just encourages hoon behaviour...

he thinks the right approach is counceling, to get the picture accross the cars are not toys, or hobbys..

this prick needs a bullet.

What a twat. Many MILLIONS of people around the world of all ages wouldnt agree.

I reckon he's on the right track though. He went a bit far saying they should NOT been seen as a hobby, but I think he's on the ball with counselling. Single out the people who drive their cars recklessly to show off and show them that their hooby or their toy (their car) is not a harmless thing they can do whatever they want with. Don't try to get rid of their interest in cars, try to get them to respect their hobby/toy as something that could kill them.

If they toned down on the sensationalism when they talk of hoons there is some half reasonable ideas in there.

Hey guys,

Do any of you know if R34 GTR Injectors will go into a R32GTR fuel rail. I heard something about maybe the wiring plugs being different but I am not sure myself.

Posting in here because I don't think there needs to be another pointless thread

You asked this question only yesterday. If you want to know, ask in the 'performance/modification' section. SAU-SA is a relatively small part of the entire board and the people who know are more likely to frequent the national mechanical threads.

[typevu]
