Been looking at the forums for a while now but dont post often. However i had to reply to this.

I was done doing 116 overtaking on princess hwy too! At the time i was overtaking a semi trailer in the rain, pulled in front, then cop parked in bushes ahead of me turned his lights on, i ended up just paying the fine and copping it on the chin but i do feel i was done unfairly. Cant afford to go up in court though as i dont know how much chance i would of had and cant afford to lose more money over it! Also should be noted was driving a camry at the time so not exactly a speed machine!

The cops on the princess hwy are out to make money! many of my mates have been done in similar cirumstances, most unfairly, and all on the stretch from geelong to warrnambool. So beware!

anyways - looks like Im screwed!!

How long does it take to get your points back on your licence???

If you have NSW licence and the offence took place in Victoria, no points will be record against your NSW licence. All you have to do is pay the fine. However VicRoads will keep these points on file for 3 years in the chance you might move to Victoria and change your licence over. You will have 3 points waiting if you move to Vic in the next 3 years ;)

Are you sure about that? The infringement notice read I have lost 3 points - how can I find out how many points I have left on my licence??

I drove from Darwin through SA, into NSW, to the ACT upt to QLD without a fine (yes I was speeding sometimes), got done twice in QLD (nazi coppers) First one was for 112 in a 100 zone just after overtaking. The second one was a bit different, here goes.

I rounded a corner that led upto a steep crest, just after rounding the corner I saw 4 (yes 4) cyclists riding abreast. I had to speed up to get around them before the crest - I had no chance of stopping. So I booted it, got past them just before no go zone of the crest and started slowing down, over the crest - coppers. Got done for 123 in a 100 zone. Told them the story - no excuses - done. Gr33ddy - get ready for a pineapple because thats whats headed your way.

crack smoking friend told me it was an offense to speed up if someone was overtaking you btw.

personally i dont understand the rules on overtaking. only ever do it if someone is well below the speed limit, or driving crazy like. eg, drunk or dumass looking for sidestreet, house number.

the moron I overtook was definitely being a dumbass - swerving over the road and s**t - he was probably pi$$ed!!

Thought Id be safer in front of him.

The moron was probably laughin his head off when he drove past me as I was getting booked!!

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
