Haha so that footage came from the last NS cruise did it? :banana:

Seriously though, last year it was a VL, this year it was a Silvia, I bet it was set up; who's that skilled at driving yet that f**king stupid to leave their number plates on and make the footage publicly accessible in this day and age?

Thanks for the beat up ACA you bunch of narrow minded f**kwits, it makes me want to punch Tracy Grimshaw in the f**king face. Rubbish like this, Today Tonight, and the tabloid newspapers are the reason WHY the heat is on everyone and there's an increasing trend towards a nanny state.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was all set up purely for the story, surely there'd be a breach of privacy thing going on to broadcast the guy's numberplates

Just read that article, you have to be KIDDING ME! someone should send that link to Today Tonight LOL (I would say Media Watch but no-one watches it!)

That's what I thought straight away, that its set up purely for the story as 'hooning' is huge at the moment.

LOL at your comment about Tracy and punching her, I say bring back Gordon Ramsay to fix her up.

Agreed, it should still have been done in a controlled and safe environment.

yeh we get that but your missing the point the media is solely beating up on imports slow news week id say..and stooging the guy massively since they asked for the tapes of ppl who want to become the stig.. i smell a rat that concerns me more. In fact its not even a story its been on youtube for ages as are thousands and thousands of other videos.. why not make a story out of those? i dont watch junk "news" programs cos u never get the full story they treat the public like mushrooms leave em in the dark and feed them sh!t

Just watching that video and seeing this Silvia drifting up a mountain climb, looks familiar....ah yes, looks like the place where my bro died.

To further add to the insult, the writer of that article, Beau Jones, decided that there was a way out of the blame in the hooning this particular driver was doing (on public roads), and that is to change the subject and talk about what's wrong with ACA.  What crap, what arrogance.

That driver just demonstrated the best places for drifting in a highly modified Silvia, and even left his marks in some of these places.  Nice job, how much do silvias go for these days?  Thanks asshole driver  :):P

And lastly, thanks for showing people that driving on public roads in "quiet" factory areas is not going to hurt anyone if you have another bloke holding a camera and calling it a controlled situation  :)

I did email today tonight.

I dont expect they will help the guy out, but, they might make ACA look very shoddy, unprofessional and sly.

Which, TT and ACA seem to like doing to each other.

Not really missing the point at all.

The point is as such.

1. Illegal

2. Public Roads

Whatever else is involved is utterly irrelevant.

If said person was stupid enough to apply for Top Gear doing retarded shit on public roads, and sent in footage to a news station - what did he think would happen?

rocklee if you think ACA has a SHRED of journalistic credibility you're a fool. This isn't an emotional debate, don't turn it into one.

Reread my post and that article. It is merely pointing out that it is an edited video TAKEN OUT OF ITS ORIGINAL CONTEXT and uploaded by TOP GEAR AUSTRALIA. Therefore without further investigation who was to know that it wasn't a cordoned off section of road? Surely Top Gear Aus wouldn't upload a video which they knew to be promoting illegal road behaviour.

RBPOWA-TJ: maybe they are more realistic than those on here about fighting a pointless battle that can't be won; though they do tend to have more of a rep as a 'hoon' club.

I can't even stand reading the Hun anymore, it's just so full of see through bias, irrelevant human interest rubbish and celeb gossip. When people quote shit out of it without any more research I want to punch them in the face.

Andrew Bolt is a dead set shit stirrer, thinks he's Alan Jones or something.

Strongly agree.

Particularly in regards to Andrew Bolt who i find racist and intolerant.

ACA have clearly provided a very very different context for the video but in both videos a few things are clear.

The car has plates, it is running poorly and in breach of EPA and should be off the road until fixed, whilst the stunts/driving is being performed the road appears at all times to be closed so it might not be as bad as some people have made out. If you have watched Targa or other Rally events they used public roads that are closed nothing special and most of the time there are no barries just road no different to this one.

I am in no way interested in drifting but the drive appears to have some skills even though he is an idiot for a number of reasons.

No helmet, plates on the car, incorrectly tuned/most likely used a performance shop/tuner that doesn't know what they are doing and using what appears to be a public road that may or may not have been closed in a legal fashion for the making of this video...

lol @ Andrew Bolt comments.

At least the guy has the balls to say what the rest of the mainsteam media refuse.

They mainstream media will not/have not reported correctly on...

1. Climate change

2. The "stolen generation"

3. Hoon laws

4. Realistic reasons for "apparent" racial bashings

As just 4 recent topics, there are plenty more. Not one news paper or media outlet in Australia has reported anything other than lies and infactual bullshit about all of those topics.

At least the US news is getting stuck right into the bullshit that is climate change @ their Gov't.

    • I hope so.  It seems pretty nice. OEM feel the lot. 
    • I wouldn't be surprised if this helps. And I wouldn't be surprised if it keeps changing for a bit after the new slave&hose go on, because I find that my clutch always does this sort of shenanigans after any serious dismantlery. And then it settles down after a few corrective tweaks such as you've already done.
    • Ist post I joined after seeing this thread  I have just installed on a r33gtst at first I liked it but I am finding the peddle free play changes …. To a point I have had a zero free play condition and the thrust bearing stayed engaged. I had to back off the adjustment on peddle.   I am about to change slave and fit a braided line to see if I can get a better result 
    • I sent off a message to a guy, waiting for his response if he can do it or knows someone.
    • Just remake the bracket. It's just bent steel with a nut welded to it. It is thinner material than you might remake it in. You just have to get the thickness right in places where it absolutely must be (and there might not actually be any such places. The same motor trimmer who you get to work on the outside of the seat would no doubt have done exactly this type of repair in the past.
