A STAGGERINGLY stupid hoon decided the best place to do a burn-out was outside the Police Academy during a graduation ceremony - he was wrong.

A police officer on his way to yesterday's graduation ceremony at Fort Largs saw a car doing a burnout on Military Rd about 10.30am. He pulled the driver over and cautioned him.

A short time later, during the graduation ceremony, which was attended by most of SA Police's highest ranking officers, the man was seen doing another burn-out outside.

A patrol was sent to the man's address at North Haven, where he was charged with misuse of a motor vehicle. His car was defected and impounded for seven days and, as an added bonus for police, he was also charged with cultivating three cannabis plants.

Actually i misread the article initially thinking it was one of the cadets doing the burnouts ... so you can ignore my "oh the irony" comment. What a fool this dude is.

Lol that's a classic!!

Amazing he only got cautioned the first time for ripping skids, though.

if it was a import it would have been impounded straight away

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
