Hey all

Just a heads up, there is a new perminant speed camera at the Grenfel/Frome intersection (its aimed at people comming into the city along Grenfel).

Not that you would be speeding anyway but they r dodge so take it slow :P

Cheers,

spangers

Yes, well we must be aware of those "blackspots" in the city.

More proof they don't care about making roads safer ... just making money! :)

Ever notice when they stick a camera up at a set of lights, it always faces the direction with the increased change in speed limit? Never any of the other 3 directions.

Take Sturt Rd/Marion Rd for instance. A majority of the vehicle crashes actually occur in the direction not captured by the camera (east-west). :laugh:

Another famous one is the one crossing on West Tce. Funny how they changed speed limit signs at that intersection to catch people out. 2002, revenue from speed cameras fell by $2M, so what did they do? They introduced the 50kph limit in "built up areas". Our streets were getting safer, its what they CLAIMED they wanted, but then they change the rules and make us all crims for driving at 60! And it made them look good on paper to the Govt to spend more money on trying to catch the law breakers that THEY created!

:banana:

EDIT: I rarely get caught for speeding .. maybe once every two years for 3-5kph over, so I'm not ranting because I'm sore about getting caught. I'm ranting because it is clearly revenue raising and they think we are stupid.

If we ALL drove at 50 and their revenue went down, they'd just lower other limits all over SA, maybe even lower 50 to 40! Some day in the next 5 years, it might take us days to travel interstate with the speed limit being 80kph, or 70kph even.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
