again?????????? where they get you this time?

Yep, again. In good ol' Seaford/Carrum Downs. I was driving down McCormicks Road and the whole way down, I was tailgated by a bung looking Mitsu 380 with stockies on the back (for whatever reason), constantly slowing down and then fanging it right up behind me. But the local HWP was happy to follow the 380 until he turned off which put the HWP right behind me.

Good job officer, I hear the crime rate is the lowest in the country at Carrum Downs and you did not have any other real crimes to attend to :rolleyes:

Am I the only one around here happy with the fact I no longer have a 33?

Nope, I miss my 33 everyday. Best car I've ever owned and continues to run rings around the ol' SS-V. Shitload more reliable too!

dem personalized plates getting you defects bro :P

damn straight. i havent even been looked at in the hsv. and its loud as f**k.

ditch the plates andy.

Deadset serious, do you really think so? I've heard that HWP love homing in on cars with personlized plates. But my plates don't yell out "hoon" or anything. I mean, yeah sure it screams out "wanker!" but other than that, pretty timid plates.

Pics of your SSV Andy out of curiousity

Okie dokie, I'll see what I've got on the work computer

Yeah done that but for some reason love the hooters taste!

The hooters sauce is actually pretty good, I like to think I make pretty good buffalo wings, a lot of people have had mine and they reckon they havnt had better. So I'm pretty proud, although it's not that hard to make lol

100% serious mate. have you heard the hsv????? ive driven past member a cun-sorry constable in a hwpc and nothing. ditch the plate man. just go black and white standards. you could sell them for shit loads to a hektik bro.

I agree with Paul

Your personalized plates gives the police the impression that you may be "wanker" that does Prinny Hwy runs rather than your everyday Joe Blow with a HSV

my cousin used to have a 1986 telstar with the plates 'SLWDWN" and got pulled over reguarly lol. think he bought the car with the plates, cause he's not that gay.

I like waht youve done with the grille and bumper, just not a fan of the tumor bonnet add-on. I remember when you were asking for opinions, did any of them end up being functional?

Hmm yeah you fellas do make a pretty good point. I mean, HWP have driven past me many times with no problems, but it's more so when they get behind me. I become a sitting duck :(

Lol it's not the plate that draw attention to it. It's a lot lower now than when I saw it last lol

Hahaha yeah, that was good times trying to get the car on Scotty's hoist. Was on coilovers when you last saw it but it's on airbags all 'round now so clearing the defect isn't too hard. Just annoying :/

I actually went out of my way to buy the plates, so you better believe I'm that much of a tosser haha FML

lol

if i was a cop i would100% pull that car over.

I would also expect the driver to be a complete douchelord and would have the defect written before you had a chance to open your mouth and defend yourself

"no offence"

what frame is that?

Mine is a lot more complete than that last photo too

it's a suzuki gt250 X7 - 2 stroke. The rest of the bike is around, but that's the current state

Currently cleaning out/setting up my workshop so I can really get started.

Haha I can see why they pull you over now

That car is bloody low!

Must be fun getting up driveways

Hahaha going up driveways and flooded roadways are a beautiful thing now. With all bags fully pumped at ~100psi, I give mum's Captiva ground clearance a good run for the money.

Bahahahaha touche sir, touche.

Make a setting with the bags that very slowly raises it to 100mm over the course of a minute or so. Press when you see the disco lights. Problem solved

I was considering it, but we all know how much cops LOVE to be right so if they see me low and then when they do pull me over Ip'm at over 100mm, they will search for anything/everything that will prove them right. In this case, a cure is better than prevention :)

why not drive aired up?

My fail-offset rims means driving aired up makes the wheels look even more fail :(

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
