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:

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
