The poor owner KNOWINGLY driving an unregistered uninsured car?

I don't think so; he's easily as big an idiot as the dope in the EVO.

I wouldn't say he deserved it; but FFS, if you can't afford to register your car; you can't afford to drive it.

I stay waaaay away from "Enthusiast" events like these; as the dickhead factor is completely off the charts.

These same guys are the ones whining that they are unfairly targeted, yet leave their brains in the glovebox at all times.

If anything; this highlights how well run SAU events & cruises are. People know if they screw around, you'll be handed to the Police on a platter.

They also understand that we are ambassadors for our cause, and want to promote a positive image.

Idiots like this destroy EVERYONE'S hard work in an instant.

Couldn't have said it better myself if my surname was Scippione

Definitely agree...

SAU events and cruises definitely have a more mature atmosphere, and everyone is sensible because idiots aren't tolerated.

JDMST/EOMM/Lowdown meets etc are more of an attraction to most of the people who have a "look at me" or "us against police" attitude.

+11ty. This is one area where the punishments are too weak. Driving an unregistered car or when disqualified should get the car impounded for a year.

Definitely, people don't think through the consequences of being in a collision while their car is unregistered.

Imagine seriously injuring another driver or pedestrian; you would be financially entirely responsible for anyone involved. It would destroy your life, as well as theirs.

Agree 100% with a lot of things mentioned.

The SAU events have always been held in such high regards.

To prove this the recent Putty Road cruise vid was posted on Motor Magazines Facebook page.

Just goes to show the top management of SAU!

Wow... so many idiots still around. I cant believe these people still turn up to these meets. I stoped going to the JDMST meets a long time ago.. A shame over time it starts to attract idiots, because those meets used to be awesome.

Whenever I film an event, I always ask people if they want their number plates blanked out. Most of the SAU chaps don't really care. The answer is always the same "I'm not doing anything illegal, so why would I care?"

Would be awesome if every community adopted the same mindset as those here.

Cheers,

Yeah the SAU community is different to a lot of them i have found! Sure we all give the car a squirt here and there BUT not in the middle of a car meet!

I've always wanted to go to these JDM meets, however seeing so many cars with All Stars stickers, JDM as f*ck and people making sounds like "needs more low", "stance", vtec, and seeing bone stock civics with half decent wheels and lowered to 1mm and that usual band wagon stuff, puts me off.

Or maybe I'm just too picky and favor the idea of personality.

Nah, you're not a fully sick flat capper swagfag. You actually care about how your car drives. I'm glad I decided it was a good idea not to go to these meets. Assumed they would be shit, haven't been proven wrong.

I was going to say, sounds like all of them were idiots, someone doing a uturn where they shouldn't (blind spot), someone hammering where they shouldnt (lots of people and blind spot), and someone driving a vehicle when they shouldn't (rego etc), then I thought, do I care if darwin eliminates the shitheads. Nup, good work old mate.

      Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)

      By JoVo · Posted

      Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
