Hey guys, a large group of us here in Tassie are trying to stop a anti-hoon legislation being passed. We believe it is unfair to the point of giving police unlimited power.

We have the council with us, an MLC (and ex-cop) and had a petition handed to the government. but it still doesn't do a great deal.

we got a feature in the paper, but it was edited a changed the facts. We're Not Hoons!

The government keeps bringing up how well this legislation worked in Queensland, but i am led to believe this is untrue.

Could you guys help us out and word your opinion on the situation and how the legislation is REALLY going up there

cheers Tim,

Hey Tim,

Unfortunatly, I don't think we will be able to stop this legislation from coming in. However we need to compromise with the government, for example bring in the hoon laws but provide a weekly off street drags for a lower cost or maybe even a off street race around baskerville, also at lower cost.

They have to be made to understand that we want to go off street but the cost is too much, expecially for us hobart people because we have to drive up north for tarmac events.

I hobart for example, if the drags are on a friday/saturday night, then no one will do blockies and for the ones that insist, then the "hoon laws" will deal with them. This keeps town residents happy(no noise) and less burnouts will be done at 2am outside my house...

Also these laws won't stop full on bogans stealing cars and doing the same things because most of them don't have licences. Maybe they need to look at putting these little shits behind bars.

Anyway, please explain how this is going to reduce the road toll and if it does when will rego costs/insurance costs come down to reward us....it wont.

Rant off.

cheers smooth, yes i have a good idea it won't get stopped, but we feel the ruling is not entirely fair.

it is true, when the drags are on there is no one doing blockies etc.

another point is that devonport of all the towns in tassie is having a complex built for drags burnouts etc, why can't launceston or hobart.

i could go on for ages about this but i just really wanted to know how the law had affected QLD residents

t hasnt affected me personally but one of my mates got his bike taen off him. he was being a dick and just fryin up the wheels in the middle of the road though (cops in an unmarked car filmed it all)

1st time - vehicle gone for 48 hours

2nd time - 3 months

3rd time - dont get it back

atleast that what i am lead to beleive with the confiscation terms...

you wont be able to stop it bcoz the general public dont relly understand what you are getting at as they are not the ones who want cheaper track days, they honestly wouldnt give a shit how much it costs us people for a trackday...please try though aye, hopefully it will catch on up here!

the stupid thing is, that if you take away quickly in a manner that looks like racing you can be done, even if you dont spin your wheels, speed, intoxicated or go all over the road...

basically, ITS GHEY!

they have cars in tassie? :D targa tassie i spose :)

eh. anyway............yeah i think you'd have bugger all chance of stopping it because the bulk of the population support anti hooning laws......i spose its a good thing that the bulk of the population has the most effect on the laws.

dont fight it. just keep what you do quiet.........there are no cops out in the middle of no where at dawn.......and that is where you should be letting off your steam if there is no strip or track anywhere near you. for the people that get caught and done for hooning laws while in populated/built up areas, screw em. they knew the game before they played it.......if you keep it legal there's no problems.....well....thats the idea.

but there are cases where a young driver has been pinned for hooning when the charge should have been speeding, this is BS and shouldnt be on. good luck down there!

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
