hello guys and gals,

as you may be aware there has been a large amoutn of unfair one sided biased reports on p platers, import owners and the like, giving us all a bad reputation. im sure you know what im talking about.

anyway, a member of another forum has had enough and is calling on everyone to send in this email that he has typed up to the aca feedback address.

Hi,

My name is ............... and I'm a member of the car scene in Australia and I am sick and tired of your one sided programs showing anyone with a modified car to be a hoon, when it is in fact the opposite! Every time you run a "hoon" story you are deliberately deceiving the public as to the real truths, and ACA have never ever once given the real members of the car scene a chance to show the real and other side to the story.

The car scene has now taken it upon themselves to make sure you hear us loud and clear, and this email is just the beginning!

We will not stop sending this same email until there is confirmation in the car scene that a proper and truthful story has been done on this subject by ACA. We will not lay down any longer and have the public only see one side of the situation.

Regards

........................., a proud member of the car scene in Australia

send it to http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/feedback/feedback_form.asp

send it in at least once everyone!

I'm more up for spamming their email address until its un-useable..

but seriously, do you think a show that so seriously distorts the facts really care what a bunch of Internet nerds put forward. Hell, that'd be the next story on their hit list.. "hackers" taking away internet freedoms or some rubbish.

Leave it for the old and the senile to believe all that shit, as they already do anyway - ACA just shows them what they already want to see and believe in their minds.

Yeah, whoever decided to set up an auto-spam program needs a 9mm hole in his head. It will do nothing and probably put a bad light on the whole thing.

Send one email from each name and email address, and remember that emails from an address like [email protected], are probably more likely to be looked at seriously than ones like [email protected] or [email protected].

Just my 2 cents.

Sending the same email over and over will at least get there attention but we should suggest a few story ideas to them. If someone could think of a story that would be entertaining and apeal to a large audience they might listen.

For example a club track day showing family and friends getting together socializing and racing around the track. Then get a few drivers to talk to the journo stating that they do drive on the streets in the cars they are racing in for the day. They could explain how they drive by the road rules and by racing on the track they become a safer more confident driver on the street. Also they could state they are sick of getting labeled as a hoon just because they drive a modified car.

Or maybe a show and shine showing the creativity and the imagination that people have to build these cars. Again the car owners could explain that they are street driven cars, they do respect the law, and they are tied of been put in the hoon category. Just a couple of ideas im sure some of you could think ofa lot better.

cheers

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
