Just a quicky. I've been having a read of the "how to stop the changes to the 15 yr rule" thread and am considering writing a letter to the relavent ppl etc etc.

Now recently there has been alot protests on the news about all sorts (hecs, pay rates etc etc). Now i know about these issues cos everyone (namely noisy uni students with too much time on their hands) makes a real big public fuss about them. But i only know about the compliance changes because of this forum.

Has anyone thought of actually organising a protest to shed some puplicity on the subject? Or to make it a more general question, has the import scene ever taken a protest further that letters saying "Not happy Jan" over any specific issue? i dont know... maybe a park in or something.

yeah i agree about the uni students... they get on my nerves too... but thats mainly cos they get in EVERYONES way instead of just the people they are protesting against... oh and they have a funny definition of "peaceful protesting" ie peaceful means kicking in doors and occupying chancellors offices...

Now the original post wasnt a call to arms, just satisfying my curiosity, but it does strike me that letter writing, while being very polite, doesnt make people pay alot of attention, i know that as i read a letter i'd be thinking "oh you dont want us to do this... thats nice".

But then again, i dont know who is in a position of power and who gives a crap so oi wouldnt know who to complain to anyway.

that would be cool... but i'm sure some dickhead will start doin burn outs and spoiling it..... if everyone just casually drove up to the front door and parked quietly i'm sure it would get a point across

hmmm, this is sounding more and more appealing now. I'm having enough trouble as it is finding time to work and organise the GSD so if anyone wants to organise a protest i'll be up for it. i've pretty much got my car to seem stock.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
