ric777, were never going to agree but it is fun to debate.  

The thing is I DO  think the minister got up one morning and saw the recent media hype of street racing as an avenue to gain popularity.I mean there are already trafic laws and fines and jail time.

See i feel that there could have been a better option. That is providing the street racing population with better avanues then racing on a puplic street. If you have ever been to a proper orgainsed illegal street meet then you would see that these people are not the same as so call hoons. They will drive far out side of public areas as cearfully as posible as to not draw attention and then race on the flatest longest unpopulated road they can fined. I cant see that as being reckless.

The example i can think of is with drugs. They are illegeal but you see such places that facilitate drug uses with shooting rooms. And such help avaliable on educating party type drug uses. Now this will not get you a seat in parlarment but it will save a sh#t load of lives. fact.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

The fact that there are laws regarding, fines etc as you mentioned reinforces the fact that the minister had been getting her ass chewed off to do more on the problem.

Anyway I might also add that we started the Roo Gulley drag strip as we used to call it at the back of Karagullen a long, long time ago. They were fun times and because there were never that many people around we didn't get any visits from the cops. Don't know if they ever knew about it.

When I saw it on the news one night not long ago, it brought back memories and I was surprised that people still went up there. We used to hang around up in the hills so it wasn't out of the way for us.

To REPRAZENT, good call, hopefully the minister will be given a copy and advise the cops to keep the BS out of things.

reprazent; cool ill try and see it. how did you just get a call?

Yep, from me. I was asked to look for a suitable person & car as my work knows I'm a bit of a hoon myself, and that I know some people with nice cars. I couldn't resist not picking Roni for the job as she's got a car that stands out (to both cops & public) and also races professionally on the side.

Saw her pics from the photoshoot earlier in week, and gotta say they are pretty nice esp from a non professional car photographer and on a digital SLR camera...hahahahaha (private joke between Rick & I)

Will appear in the 14/09 edition of Stirling Times. You won't be able to miss it that's for sure!!

      Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving

      Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)

      From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
