its a bloody industrial area, kids shouldnt be on the road anyway.

some of the speed limits around south road are a joke atm. still 40 when nothings going on. or worst yet. 40 when all of a sudden it bottlenecks into 1 land and theres roadworkers standing on the road pretty much begging to be collected by a B double,.

*sigh* once again the SAU judges, juries and executioners convict the person involved before he has had his case heard in court.

LOL...thats how we roll Kristian! :whistling:

Yeah he was being a tool.... well he has no car for a month and no doubt a hefty fine/ loss of licence coming. No one was hurt (thankfully) so...end of story.

I gotta admit tho that I drove along there at New years with no workers in sight and it was bloody frustrating rolling at 40.

Come on now kristian, we all know that SAU drivers never misbehave!

But seriously who hasn't sped or done something stupid in our life. It's pretty easy to point the finger at someone when they screw up and not look in our own backyard. Big deal-the guy made a mistake-and let's face it has court,impounding,I dare dare loss of license and big$$& to pay- pretty sure he will get a severe penalty that none of us would like. Why would u crush such an valuable/rare/awesome piece of machinery- he paid the money for it so I don't believe anyone has the right to take it away---- that's my two bobs worth..

PISStol Ped, Remember that when the next kid gets killed by someone doing 100 in a 40 zone.

yeah coz i see kids playing in road works all the time. just today i literally saw 5 kids playing cricket on south rd

Open your eyes and look at the signs, or isnt your brain connected to your brain, I cannot believe the mentality of some people, have you never seen kids riding bikes or skateboards in a "industrial area", trucks loading and unloading, or people out for a walk, Im happy when idiots who think they can do what they want get booked.

Or are you to cool and hecktic to obey the law.

Its simple really, unless you yourself are simple.

i drive around wingfield day in day out.

never seen kids playing in the streets or on the side of the road....

A few things - Point notation of things I've noticed and the dash points on my personal conclusions...

A) Nobody knows the full details of what happened - aside from what the media and sapol have publicly released - we both know they're biased

- Meaning we need to stfu before we know (as opposed to what we think we know) what actually happened

B) If he was doing 110 in the area they are speaking of, then the dude deserves to be cockslapped

- No excuse for speeding (And I have speeding tickets (none over 15kph over the limit mind you)

C) People saying that minor speeding (under 20kph) and major speeding (40kph+) are the same thing are on drugs. I've been guilty of the former (and drunk driving too*). I'd never condone breaking the law but the fact is, the law is set up so that average people, without criminal intent, do break the law. All of these 'laws' are misdemeanors/trivial which are never heard in court unless elected. The law is setup in these cases to raise revenue. We all know this. But saying that a dude doing 60 in a 50 zone is the same as a cat doing 180 in a 100 zone, or 110 in a 60 zone, is simply bollocks. One can say in this case it was marked as '40' but that roads always been 60 and doesnt look anything like a freeway ;P

- Put the pipe down. I know crack is more-ish, but put that pipe down.

D) People saying that the car should be crushed... again, not knowing the circumstance one cannot ascertain if the driver was the owner. Also, crushing a perfectly good piece of equipment is wasteful, whether its a car or a dildo. Clean it up and sell if you must. But really, the car didn't cause the crime. The dude behind the wheel is. And he/she should bear the full attention of the law - not the vehicle (Also, crushing proponents, what if the car is under finance and is actually 'owned' by a bank or credit union?)

- People who advocate crushing of cars are oxygen deprived.

E) Everyone hates the roadworks. I do. I hate doing 25. My clutch leg gets sore. But if they dont upgrade the roads, we bitch about the roads being shit.

- People in general cannot see the glass being half full.. Its a necessary evil. Sure, it'd be nice if the govt put the money in to fix stuff before it breaks, but hey... they have bicycle races to promote you know....

-D

*EDIT - Admitting != condoning. By no means am I saying I was hard done by getting caught PCA. I made a mistake - I dealt with the consequences and have no complaints about my treatment in regards to that - in short, if you drink and drive, you're a dickhead - if you drink and drive twice, give yourself an uppercut.

f**k some people are dumb on SAU.

A) Always and inevitably each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

B) The probability that a given person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic possessed by that person.

C) A person is stupid if they cause damage to another person or group of people without experiencing personal gain, or even worse causing damage to themselves in the process.

D) Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people; they constantly forget that at any time anywhere, and in any circumstance, dealing with or associating themselves with stupid individuals invariably constitutes a costly error.

E) A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person there is.

(blatantly stolen from wikipedia)

No kids

Just wokers standing around chatting

and a cop hiding somewhere with his radar going for the kill... he got a big one

"Driving on loose, undulating and incomplete road surfaces can also be especially dangerous in wet weather." ... but he has a 35 GTR

    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
