Pretty sure you can't have anything that you could possibly hit your head on during a crash, thats why it needs to be registered as a 2 seater... I'd imagine that a full cage might also be an issue on modern airbag cars as they alter the way that the car is designed to crumple in an accident.

Cage + 1 inch thick padding foam would probably get you pulled over and done for restricted visibility even if it does get fully engineered as safe.

Exactly!

I think you'll also notice he's got Apple headphones in the 2nd picture, which I think says volumes about iPhone users and their racist tendancies

We unfortunately live in a priveleged age where some people have no significant issues in their lives to worry about, so instead make them up or get offended on behalf of others to fill the void. This priveleged age also affords people the luxury to challenge said problems in the cheapest, laziest and least effective way possible: social media activism...

Protip: if it can be resolved with social media activism it's probably not a real problem lol

I think Vic Pol are back on the defect train. Guy in Vic picked up his new S180 Toyota crown from the transport company (previous owner in QLD), 20mins after picking it up gets pulled over. Defected for low height (didnt test it, just put it on the fine), loud exhaust (stock exhaust, again didnt test it. and everyone knows toyota V6's are quiet as fuark) but also done for mexican poke (because large wheels and car not lowered or any camber, cop it sweet).

Maybe he was driving like a tool, i dunno. but this is pointy-spoiler-stays worthy. f**k this gay earth.

Owned the car for 20 minutes means he was definitely giving it some stick, testing its 0-60 in 9 seconds flat claim... Most likely gave the officer some lip if he got a full book of vague defects thrown at him.

OT: I pretty much bought a car today, getting RWC on Friday and most likely Paying/Picking up on Saturday or Sunday

It's more that hardly anyone in VWL owns an import anymore so the exposure is low

But they did seem to settle down for a bit and Tony(?) said something about EPAs not being given out anymore...

Even my ford hasn't really had much cop attention apart from being on princes hwy a few years back for fog lights.. Was happy to pay the fine based on what I was doing 5 mins before that.

Cops were one of the main reasons I sold my 33 GTR.. would get random EPAs in the mail etc

Get pulled over often on my dirt bike, almost 50% of the time I'm out on it (in the bush)

There was a 2 door 4WD thing on the the freeway passed moe yesterday, it's been really smokey and hazy in the valley but this 4WD had more smoke coming out of it than an old big rig with an escort of 4 Mitsubishi magnas.

Drive up beside it and saw a massive Chequered Tuning sticker on the back...

What did you do to get that kind of letter?

guessing noise as it does not sound like a full test.

which if you have the stock exhaust you just swap for the test and be done, at lest that's what I did.

 

 

Is your bike full reg or rec?

Where do you get pulled over?

50% would piss me off!

yeah noise, i went to my 'exhaust guy' got him to put some quiet system on ghetto mounted it basically, got test done then went back to him to swap exhaust back on.. cost me like ~$200 all up including the test roughly i think.. still a pain in the ass with the time it takes to do it etc. 

My bike is full reg, been pulled over at Neerim South, and at Lake Eildon. Didn't see any police at the Anglesea tracks over the weekend. 

50% of like the not many times I ride dirt, but yeh they're definitely out and about on the weekends on their KTMs

This is often because so many of them are stolen

Mate's dirt bike got nicked from his shed in Warrandyte...18 months later he got a call from cops saying they want to get it out of their evidence locker cause it's taking up space. Apparently they seized it after doing chassis checks on some guys riding dirt bikes in the hills somewhere and no one ever bothered to try calling the actual owner after it went into the lockup. Wasn't too badly molested when he got it back but had already replaced with a newer one lol

fair enough.

know lots of farm quads and similar get nicked and resold but as they don't get rego in most cases it's hard to track.

(ours being one of them) 

but yeah checking unrego'ed ones out bush makes sense.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
