not to be just another "boo hoo i got a speeding fine cause i am a moron who drives like i stole it"

but, just now i was in Bunbury, on the way in i was pulled over by a police man with a wavy red glow stick

(who totally looked like something out of Counterstrike) "we are from the Gang Task Force and you have been pulled over for a random drug and alcohol test" he says

no concern to me, been doing neither - as they were taking a swab an officer came to my car holding a walkie talkie and tells me that they are now going to book me for speeding

i was like "oh man, is it 50 along here, i swear its always been a 60 zone?"

a nerdy looking officer steps up to the car (with this vest that had like SO many pockets it was almost stupid) and shows me some hand held gadget displaying 81km/hr

glaring at me on a big red screen

"you were doing over 80... you are the only car on the road" he says

but i was only doing 60, me thinks

as EVERYONE on here knows there is a fair bit of difference between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour

...maybe 63 if my speedo is out, but 81!? absolute crap

nothing i could do - they book me and my passenger reads that they have only stung me with $150 fine and 2 demerits

count my blessings on a shit situation i guess

PS:

okay maybe a bit of a boo hoo, just feels like i have been screwed because a bunch officers in SWAT gear are bored of a saturday night

I got done for speeding a while back on a hand held, I was so surprised when they flagged me down out a group of cars and showed me a screen that said 81km/h when I was 100% sure I was going 65 in a 70 zone because a car coming the other way flashed me, and I knew exactly where they were (they're at the same spot a few times a week).

I had a chat with the guy and essentially he said it's my word against his in court, and he believes I was going 81 (even though I was behind a bus that would have been going less than 70 too). So I had no choice but to pay up and watch them strip me of another point. :banana:

    • My first thought is run hardlines, but running a soft pipe is easier and quicker, though normally more exxy...
    • It sounds like the perfect time to do easier tasks like, work out how to pull the headlights fully apart, clean them inside and out, and make them meticulous... Or lose all the clips, f**k up polishing the lenses, and get frustrated with that job while you can't do bigger more fun ones and wind up with no usable headlights...   I mean... What?! 😛
    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lipomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, more time to contemplate rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
