Clarkey:(

Thats just farkin WRONG!!! 64in 60?!?!?!?!!! How the fark are we expected to drive???

Tyre manufacturers say that worn tyres will produce a 3km/h difference (on the speedo) than new ones. I doubt wether anybodys speedo is accurate within 3km/h anyway.

Money hungry kunts!!! The frustration is starting to 5hit me!!!!!! (by the way I got a fine last week to!)

There is actually a law that is still in effect that you are allowed 10% of the suggested speed either way.

So if you were in a 60 zone, LEGALLY you can do 66. However the RTA has said fines will only allow a 3k/h difference. I think if you take it to court, you could win.

The law used to be 10% of 60 then +3kmh. They abolished the 10% of 60 and have left the 3kmh.

Vicroads dont actually have anything to do with the issuing or payment of fines, thats handled by Civic Complience. Details of the law should prolly be taken up with them 9611 7611.

A mate got done for 62km/h in a 60 zone about a month back.

Ironically he just had new tyres installed, I'm curious as to what it did to the rolling circumference and speedo. Same deal, $125.

But its good to see he isn't doing 2km/h over the limit anymore, he could have killed hundreds of people!:)

Was it a camera fine or was he pulled over???? 2k over just doesnt seem like enough. Cameras are now set to go off at 4km over the limit, and coppers wont usually give chase unless its worth the paper work (ie about 20km over). Sure it wasnt 62 in a 50??

Pulled over after a hard takeoff from the lights. Cop was about 200m down the road with the laser.

edit - kept him there for about 30 mins while he started writing out defects for different engine and various other things, then he pulled an engineers certificate out for everything and the cop got really pissed off and booked him for doing 2km/h over the limit.

I only have 3 points left.... no speeding for me for a while... i only get 3 pointers :) Make 2 mistakes and you can't speed for 3 years, screwy!

I still find it hard to believe speed really kills, 1/3 of accidents are caused by people without even seatbelts for f*cks sake!... the other 1/3 or more are f*cking pissed... and the majority of pedestrians killed are pissed as well... we should'nt be held accountable for avoiding idiots walking across the road!

And every car on the road handles the same, every driver looks the same distance ahead on the road. Nope, its all stupid math to support making more money.

Personally I'd rather have more freedom and take the risk that I kill myself in my car. Its my choice to take the risk and wipe myself out, as long as i don't have others in the car.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
