Lol, I thought it was your job to watch your own speed, as you ARE the driver? I think if you are old enough to drive, you should be old enough to take the responsibility of your actions :P

Cmon give him a break, 5ks?

So I ever see you driving 5ks over the limit i will call you irresponsible too?

I'd put in under my oldies too, they're pretty strict when you're on your Ls

I wouldn't risk saying it was you........

The writing a letter and getting a warning only works if you've had 3 full years driving history with a clean record and it's your first fine, and that doesn't include the learner period. P's or full licence only...

Well, my folks are paying it because they are they driver really, they should be watching the speed for me and advising me not to speed

This infuriates me.

I didn't call him irresponsible for speeding, but I said since he WAS driving, he should take the consequences of his own actions.

When I do get done for speeding, I cop it on the chin and learn from it, that's how you'd learn. You do the crime, you do the time.

Simple as that.

Having your L's is the same as on your P's, you can't get more than 5 points in a period of 12 months.

5k's over = 1 point, and like $140 fine.

$146 ain't a huge sum to pay, but the points.. ooooh..

then again, i have better things to do with $146, but i'm sure you've seen the thread about them clamping the cars of people who don't pay up. So, you'd better pay.

But i'm sure if it was a speed camera, they snap the picture, and the fine goes straight to the registered owner of the car, correct me if i'm wrong.

That's correct. Also I don't think it really matters if your L plates were up or not, you can just say that your parents paid for it without requesting for a photo, so they didn't know that your L plates was up and you were driving. But then again, do they even check?

But funny thing is, SAU doesn't condone illegal things and isn't this illegal? :)

Mate, you should have your eyes pinned to the speedo, so should your parents. I dunno who is worse. I know that when I was on my L's if I was speeding or doing anything wrong I knew about it straight away. The whole point on learning to drive is learning how to drive properly - this INCLUDES not speeding. I mean fark, a ticket on your L's, what will your P's and full licence going to bring?

Yes, people make mistakes but if you do happen to then man up and cop it on the chin, don't be a child. If you cop it sweet and learn then you've done the right thing and FFS, pay the fine yourself.

/end rant :laugh:

While i was on my learners the moment i managed like 3k or whatever over my dad would make this really annoying disapproving noise...soon taught me to watch my speedo a bit more often so as to avoid it cuz it got on my nerves lol. I got my first ticket a year or 2 into my Ps...10km over...car was in my dads name so the fine was sent to him (camera fine) and i legitimately thought it was a 110 zone not 100 so it was an honest mistake...but after umming and ahhing over whether i should take the point until it was too late, my dad took the point and i paid the fine...with P plates up and he wasnt also fined or anything. Just to answer the question from earlier...about Ls and P plates for a full licensed driver generating another fine. I was prepared to take the point, parents chose to instead however.

      Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.

      Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...

      I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.

      Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.

      OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
