they published my comment. unedited. im shocked.

They published mine also.

I agree that the parole issue must be hitting a raw nerve with Massive Wanker Media Mike. Hence, the "car crushing" topic flaring up again as a distraction.

:)

just thinking out loud here;

we've hit what... 70 road fatalities this year? from memory 5 of those have been caused by "hoon" behaviour*.

everything else has been drink driving, drug driving, inattention, fatigue, etc...

so not only is this plan not proportionate to the number of deaths caused by "hoon" behaviour*, but its also making a statement that driving drunk and/or stoned is more socially acceptable and not as dangerous as say, taking off quickly from the lights.

*"hoon" behaviour as most people know, ie, acc cruises, drag races, etc.

another thought, not too long ago they added people that were caught graff'ing to the hoon category and started impounding and clamping their cars, no wonder the figures for "hoon" offences are so high.

just had another look, someones thinking along the same lines as me and has posted the same.

meh, my comment stands. sa is quickly becoming the benchmark for police states. i almost cant wait to go live in a normal country.

lol, i really oughta learn to read. re-read what i wrote to find the word 'death', couldnt. thought i didnt. funny how you dont see things when youre looking for them. :)

lol, the utter narrow-mindedness and stupidity in some people boggles the mind

Who care's which Government brings it in, I am just Thankful that something is being done about the problem. Mind you I would have made the law in two stages, 1: First time offence would be to sell the car, money put into victim support, or funding for the police. 2: Second offence would be to crush the car, with the owner present, and for them to pay for the crusher.

but yet, there is hope for all in this world

You all seem to think hoons are drag racers. Current law says even revving the engine makes you a hoon. Rev your motor at a red light for 3 seconds and you're a hoon, your $20,000 car is crushed at the whim of the police not the courts, that's the same penalty as actually driving through a red light SIXTY SIX times!! What's the bigger crime? What sort of stupid society are you trying to create here? Think about what Rann is really doing.

yeah, theres some really retarded things being said.

shows how thorough the media brain washing has been, and how low the collective intelligence of the community is.

edit, perfect example;

why not just confiscate them, make money from them to install more speed cameras or to get more police in the streets.

because speed cameras have really proven themselves to effective tools in reducing the road toll, there are 3 more speed cameras on my usual route into work than there were this time last year, and if im not mistaken, there are more fatalities this year. interesting.

Marty, MSG 8.... bout time you learnt.... guns and cars dont kill people. Chuck Norris kills people. To all the sad people complaining about homes and finance being at risk, rest assured, the government's legislation is piss weak at best. There is already the ability to permanently seize repeat offender's cars for hoon driving and it isn't done. Instead the same people commit offences and get away with it. But on the other side, dont commit hoon related offences and you wont have to worry about you car being crushed, pretty simple. You say people depend on transport to get the kids around and get to work. well treat it like the privelage it is and not the right that you expect, drive safely, not like a kid on a go kart track. Why is this so hard to understand? I am not concerned about my car being crushed because i dont drive like a gonzo.

:)

Frustrating is an under statement! Some people must live under rocks! Dave highlighted the points well, guess drink driving is more acceptable now then? Obviously who ever puts this crap together seems to have an incompetence with gathering facts and data. Ban the bikies, crush the cars, whats next?

im sure theyre quite skilled at it actually. its their method of presentation that is flawed.

as for whats next? everyone lives in identical concrete houses, everyone drives identical yugo's, everyone works for the same money, everyone drinks vodka, and everyone does everything comrade rann asks, welcome to ranningrad, dissenters will be crushed.

meh, whatever.

the world we live in is messed up. cant wait till all the oldies die off and stop trying to wrap everyone in cotton wool.

it's almost like, if you fart in your car, your going to be shot!

i dont 'hoon' around but because of the cars i drive people have already made their mind up on me. alot of cops think the same way and now its going to be their word against mine. cant wait.

lol, the utter narrow-mindedness and stupidity in some people boggles the mind

if they sell your car 1st offence how it going to be crushed on the 2nd :domokun: they crush your old car?

futher more isnt that the same net effect anyway :D you take there car away n give it to someone else or take their car away and crush it. whats the diff to the offender

you cant argue with narrow minded fools they will never accept their point of view could be the least bit wrong. aslong as the news paper keeps printing hoon stories they going to think its a new thing that sprung up overnight suddenly people started modifying cars and racing

its actually a pretty frustrating read.

+1/ I write on that stupid site a fair bit. Just did then.

I honestly don't understand some people. If your going to turn your comp on and write something at least have some knowledge on the subject. SA the semi - retarded state

"It's up to the police commissioner, but it is a high probability that those caught street racing will have their car crushed," he said.

"That's the message we want to send, if you are out there and you are caught racing at 140km/h or 150km/h down Port Rd with another car then the police commissioner would really want to send a strong message to them too.

"I think the community wants this too. They are not prepared to tolerate this."

More than 6150 cars have been clamped or impounded by police since the State Government introduced tough new anti hoon legislation in 2005.

The Government hopes the laws will be in place soon after parliament resumes in September.

Like I said previously, the day they crush a car owned by a finance company, will be the day it's my shout! :D

Yes Communism worked well......................in theory

LOL James, you are so close to the truth that I don't even think you realize it.........I'll gather my thoughts later and give you some insight on the ramifications of these new "anti-association laws" that this Rann government is trying to shove down our throats. Rann & his public relation croanies have successfully instilled so much fear into the public (Re: Bikies) through the manipulation of the media that we've quickly and openly accepted these laws with our eyes shut to future ramifications.......lol at fear campaigns!!

to be continued.....

Yeah good old Mike Rann trying to rule with an iron fist and strike terror into the hearts of the population through the media scare mongering, which he seems quite proficient at. And these anti-association laws, aren't these somewhat similar to Hitler and the Jews (no offence to anyone), trying to create the society he wanted and needed to succeed as a power figure. Its almost anti-semetic what Rann is trying to to SA. And who said the Iron Curtain had fallen!

p.s. Pete might be starting one of those courses soon :D

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
