remember a couple years ago when there was that WRX converted to RWD in NZ doing burnouts in a NZ industrial area and those 2 guys drifting somwhere in japan in the hills

Channel 7 used it for australian footage and said the WRX was in sydney and the hills footage was in SA! it had yellow lines on the road ffs

they do it all the time, its bullshit.

it interests me on why they use the same yellow r34 doing a donut in every hoon vid, when originally it was the camera man asking him to show a demonstration of horsepower.. next thing he knows hes on the news for hooning!

I vote we get the hairy wog to be our spokeswoman!

Well that is the thing... We have no avenue of actually voicing our views and opinions.. Would it be difficult to start some kind of group that would basically represent the greater car-enthusiast community. As of now I think we've got squat, maybe it is something that needs to be started and motivated by the car-club communities of Australia. No one else is going to help us..

even though the hoon law is suppose to affect everyone, some police will let people off if they are old and not in an import. i was at a THP table in the pearl room [casino] doing nothing and i overheard 2 old guys talking about how one of them was going 200 and got pulled over. when the cop saw him he said "you dont look like a hoon and your car doesnt seems like a hoons car" after that he was told to drive safely and was let go. then they started going on about how he wasnt hooning because he is an experienced driver and how the police should be targeting the young people in imports because they are the real hoon. i got angry, i wanted to yell at that guy because i am 19 with an import and i drive speed limit nearly all the time and ive had enough of old people speeding because they think they can drive, even though they have worse sight and reaction time then younger people.

just saw on the new some old guy who collect tanks was caught going 170 and has to go to court. i hope he loses his license for the rest of his life and get a large fine for his actions

On the radio they are saying a Guy got Caught for the 2nd time under the hoon law for powersilding his car around a bend (loaction) i forgot lol

tried looking on perthnow but nothing is up now just wondering on more details wow for once i know something before Bubba :laugh: lol

    • If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?
    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...
