Pfft, stop whinging, Craig - at least you can get your side pipe kicks in once in a while, and in a proper race car too!

Oh, I was at a group dinner with your dad and Terry on Friday night, and he mentioned something about someone being pulled over by the po-po, and them enquiring about how a black Volvo could accelerate so fast, is that the case? :P

Rofl...I'm going to kill him....yes they were going in the opposite direction when I popped out and opened it up to get away from 2 fools....did he mention that the guy I was trying to get away from had an accident 300m away from when I was?

Yeah he did mention that, what's the story there?

i once got followed by po-po on the way home, wasn't speeding but did took roundabouts faster than other cars...was still driving the civic (got coilovers)...

they followed me to my house, parked their car in my driveway and when i came out of the car, i told them to wait 5 mins as i was desperate to do number 2...lady cop was pretty nice to let me do my business (after i convinced her that we were in front of my house) and checked my licence while i was doing my businesswhistling.gif

long story short, once my business is done, i had to listen to her quick speech about not taking corners/roundabouts too fast pinch.gif, no fines luckily...

thats what ive never been able to understand. if someone in a ferrari did the same thing, is it ok because the car is designed to handle?

whats classified as taking off too fast? i was almost done for that in QLD, but talked my way out of it. so i got a ticket for an exhaust that was too loud. never paid the fine. got so many notices saying they will cancel my licence and rego. lol this was before some states could actually do that!

In response to your Ferrari question, I would say yes... but then again I think logically (most of the time).

Law makers would say no (but they implement changes only considering how much money they can make).

I was pulled over for taking off too fast a couple of years ago...

I just asked what I did wrong officer? You accelerated much too quickly

Did I spin my wheels? No

Did I speed? This is a 70 zone isn't it? No, you weren't speeding and yes this is a 70 zone.

Did I endanger any other road users? Anything could have happened at your rate of acceleration

And what happened? You were pulled over before anything could happen

Excuse me, but I was already at my intended speed before you pulled me over. Is there anything more I can do for you? Queue lecture on the dangers of "speeding" etc etc :no:

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
