Yeah but, yeah but, did anyone hear about that copper over here in the UK who was charged with speeding at 159mph (254kmh) in a 70mph (112kmh) area, and over 120mph (192kmh) in a 60mph (100kmh) area.....evidence used was his own in-car video. He was not in pursuit of anyone and had no flashing lights. But he got off anyway after explaining to the court that he was testing the capability of his new traffic car.

It's a good road though, on which you can see for miles ahead, and I once "tested" an RX7 on the same stretch while delivering it to the bloke who bought it off me. I didn't intend to but some big Beamer with 2 suits in it kept stoking me on. Before I knew it, I just thought "oh bollocks" to myself and floored it. I couldn't see the speed on the speedo as the steering wheel was in the way, but the rev counter said almost 7000rpm, in 5th, and ever-so slightly going downhill.

I think a lot of us have "tested" the top speed of our cars... but if I was caught, I wouldn't use an excuse.  It's my bad, and i'd just cop it on the chin, so to speak.

forget copping it on the chin. you get caught going 224kmh you will be copping it up the arse.

You won't be copping it up the arse if you are caught doing that kinda speed, just a big fine and a large loss of license.

Sorry clearly you guys are all perfect road drivers... ;)

At least I am honest enough to admit it. I don't drive like that anymore, but if someone wants to go out there and do 224km/hr on a freeway (M4, M5, F3, etc), well that is their decision.

No-one gets a 'go straight to jail' card for traffic infringements unless it involves alcohol or some kind of bodily harm.

Decades ago someone got bashed into a coma for unpaid parking tickets.

Only the media is cretinous enough to suggest jail time for 'no harm, no foul' speeding charges.

      God I love shiny engine parts 🥰 Are you looking for more horsetorques in the mid range? (Smaller cam) Or just more horsetorques every where? (Big heads and bigger revs) Assumption: they were not bought late night shopping on the interwebs after drinking too many beers, which is typically how I pull pins on things......🤣 The evolution of your car is coming along nicely, I sometimes wish I didn't get bored with my cars and keep flipping them, maybe the MX5 will be different

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      By Randhj · Posted

      I got the hazards working! Turned out it was disconnected! Indicator stock still isn’t working. I took the steering shroud off and there seems to be a third connection missing I see two small white connectors but they don’t fit the indicator switch unless they need a short lead to convert the connector type. Can someone point me in the direction of the wiring diagram for the indicator switch?   https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e8ReiFSLBVJsTPUKKfA_1IdQ

      Can't put strut back

      All of your suspension bushes/bolts etc, should also only ever be tightened when the car is sitting with full weight too.   IE, jack it back up, shove a heap of stuff down so you can lower the wheels onto so the car is "on the ground" but you have room to get under it.   It's why when properly done, you should be able to remove the shock and spring, but the arms won't go to 100% droop. If you don't do the above, you'll destroy your bushes.
