My mate had a car crash a few months ago , she was driving home one night. Looked down to get her red bull looked up hit a car and somehow managed launch the vehicle and turn it on its side (she is fine). The cops had a bit of of a giggle when she told them she looked down to get her redbull , they said " i guess red bull really does give you wings."

man i know how is this for pathetic

"I GET PULLED OVER FOR A (RANDOM INSPECTION :) ) AND THE ONLY THING THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD GIVE ME A DEFECT FOR WAS FOR NOT HAVING A SHINY EXHAUST!!!!!"

i was like ah how does get real sound what do you want me to do paint it???

they just target p platers to get them off the road once i took the plates down been pulled over once for a random breath test they are to look at me i make the rules not follow them

In south australia now if you turn your head and talk to your passanger you an get done nowadays. That ame in late last year along with the eating and drinking law.

Also some of th keys on my keyboard don't work so fill in the blanks.

Anyway, she's on her green P's and drives a Festiva. Hasn't had a fine yet. She was at a red light eating a sandwich, had been fasting for Lent and was starving. So that's why she was 'eat driving' ;)

The cop pulled her over, told her off, scared the sh!t out of her, and let her off with a warning.

WTF? Is it a traffic offence to 'eat drive'?

Vehicle at rest and eating, nothing wrong with that as its just sitting at a red light, going through the intersection sideways and eating a sandwich just makes you a f**king legen... silly bugger.

Hwy Patrol make up some laws as they go to suit the event.

I have heard some good ones over the years, I'll add this one to the list ;)

Course the best one I've seen as far as eating/driving was this hambeast of a woman in an XF falcon next to me in Sydney traffic a few years ago ripping into a bowl of cereal... doesn't do wonders for one's faith in humanity.

The stupid thing about it all is that the laws arent "clearly defined"... this gives the popos (cops) the power to harrass where they see fit... as Mr. Keets said they will just call what you did as something that can explain it.. yes that may be illegal but its changing the wording.. its quite stupid really.. the cops have every right to give you a ticket for practically anything.. only way to combat it is to take it into court.. comes down to a judge then and how they interpret the law

there isn't a judge alive I believe that would convict someone of eat driving

this would certainly be an ACA story

perhaps there is more to it, maybe the cop was following her and wondered why she was all over the road, and not driving in a straight line.

then when he realised it some some dumb P plater chick not paying attention and eating he thought it was a good idea to pull her dumb ass over

its a law. not allowed to drink and drive (that means anything) or eat. because you do not have both hands on the steering wheel if you are eating and its a distraction.

surely this would mean that it's illegal to drive with your hands on the gear stick? i swear 90% of people only have one hand on the wheel - even when they're not using the other one for anything (visible)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
