HAHAHAHAHa :D

That's the funniest shit I've ever heard! Sure for F1 cars at 250 km/h it might save a few microseconds off their lap.

But it's even more ridiculous than having a spoiler for "downforce" in everyday 60km/h driving. How much effect does air resistance play at everyday speeds?

Hmm... few cents on petrol vs insurance excess and loss of rating :geek:

Not so fast Phats!

It has been a known fact for many years the drafting is very effective. MythBusters did a drafting exercise, car behind truck...I don't remember exactly the figures but the fuel saving was significant @ around 40% saved @ 50mph or some such shit..

Illegal, dangerous, fun = yes

Recommended = no

thats typical of dezz, jumping from one side of the fence to another, lol like u have never done a burnout or gone over the speed limit, and then sit on ur computer desk and type what you did a couple posts up :geek: , i admit i f*ked up when i was 18, but now 21 i have learnt an learnt the hard long way, with no licence...

i have had numerous conversations with police "the good ones" telling me when they were young they use to take there cars an bikes off the clock on a empty straight, lol then give me a 500$ fine an loss of licence..

i also have to admit when they sit there and tell you u done wrong and explain why it was stupid to do 40km over the speed limit, you actualy listen, but when they fine you and are smart ass's, and have a joke that they caught you, you dont learn, you dont really give 2 f*ks what you get off them...

its just educating the young drivers in a way that we will actualy listen and learn, insteed of seeing family members die, or killing your best mate while your drag racing, or losing your licence for 12months 2weeks after you get your licence when your 18, just have to find a way we will listen...

no hard feelings dezz :D

I don't sit at my computer and whinge that 'f**k wits' are ruining it for 'the rest of us' when i've held a licence for a few months out of a few years :)

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
