Hi everyone, I just want to share my friend's experience with WA traffic authority on Friday night (22-07-2011).

About 10pm, he was on his way home after having drinks (tea) with me and there was a booze bus. When it was his turn, he got asked to pull into the side way.

Then, the copper started saying things to him like "Your vehicle is of interest to us because of your recent actions on public roads". "WTF"

Then, another copper radioed in to him, saying to have a more thorough check becuase it has a turbo. "WTF again".

My friend got all freaked out, and keep denying he did anything wrong. (He is a resposible driver who drives with upmost care on the roads, as we both are part of car clubs and been on cruises together and he never let loose once.)

In the end, with no proof and evidence, he got let off. Even when he was driving off, he got told to stop doing whatever he was doing on public roads or else get himself into bigger trouble. "WTF AGAIN!!".

I mean, seriously, what's all this about? Sure if they can produce evidences, but they couldn't. They can't even tell which road the so-called offence took place.

I know not all WA traffic authority treat us "car enthusiast = hoon :P " this way. But seriously, they need to stop bluffing to get their way! :rant:

Hey guys.

just an FYI. Police have no right to photograph you unless you refuse. this practise is unjust and a violation of your rights in this state.

do not give all the power to police. this is pathetic.

Yeah I was about to mention a similar thing, they by law have to ask you for permission to photograph you. If you refuse they can't do shit because they have no reason/evidence to arrest you. It's an invasion of privacy and it's discrimination. If I get pulled over I will demand to know the source and reason behind it.

TL;DR version, fuck the po po and the brain dead general public.

all the shit they say is to scare you, if you're a sensible driver then ignore it and know they are just dribbling to scare you, if you're a little bitch then take it to heart and sell your car cause you're scared. Simple as that.

Cops say that just so you get scared and behave if you haven't been. Same shit with the media.

It all comes down to FEAR, if they have nothing on you they just try to scare you into confessing - for example they pull you over and then say: "what was that back there?" or "Why were you doing that back there?" or "I know why your here, to do burnouts" If they think anyone is stupid enough to confess to do anything just because they try to scare you they are wrong, if they have no evidence they should just f**koff

EXACTLY!

Example: Police pulls you over.

Officer: "What was that back there?"

You: *Shit yourself* "Oh officer my car slipped by accident"

Officer: DIDN'T EVEN HAVE EVIDENCE HE JUST ASKED YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU'D SAY..."Hand them keys over kid"

Police will say ANYTHING to try to get anything out of you. IF you're a Sensible driver? Acknowledge he is talking shit and just laugh it off knowing he was trying to catch you out but he couldn't.

Get scared by it? Sell you're car and buy an Excel.

Seriously, If you buy a Import, get ready to put up with hassles from the police and know what you're in for because of the whole media bragging out the word "HOON".

Yup, totally agree.

I don't think it even matter with us import/performance/jap car owner going or not going to event like Rising Suday and will still get pulled over. :devil:

the biggest problem we have is the police commisioner he cant even keep his own kid under control how can this guy be in charge of the whole police department his son was injured in a drug lab explosion, this targeting of modified vehicles is rubbish not just imports its across the board, the police are given the most basic training on how to inspect a vehicle and instantly they are mechanics, I might as well put a blue cap on and a badge and say im a cop but you can get charged for that maybe the should charge cops for impersonating mechanics? If I had the power I bet I could issue at least have the police fleet with defect notices, I worked In fleet for a dealership in know what gets fixed and what doesnt at the moment each car club is a minority but if we can get all performance car people to band as one and make a statement we might be able to get something done, I just dont know how we can do it maybe a massive cruise up to parliement house or something and prove that most people are genuine car people and not just idiots

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
