  1. at least they put sighns in your state -_- they have 1 warning here... and they are generaly hiding.
  2. Ok where to start I've noticed that allot of people and not just myself at the moment have lost their license, or at least have had an unfair fine given to them. My point is this, I've seen debate topics and lineup of people at the parliament house over things like “new net laws” and also “alcho pop laws” yet I'm yet to see any one debate over the new “revenue scheme” driving laws. Ill give you a brief example of what I mean by revenue raising: Scheme 1: new laws state that if you are speeding over 10km the limit (quite easily done and un noticed if your focused on everything else around you” is now only a 1 demerit point loss offence, but to “pursued not to do it” they have doubled the fine (not revenue raising?). So in theory you could speed consistently over the whole period of your license until you lose the total amount of 12 points. Now let’s say that on average the speeding fine is now $250 +VC levy $20 so a total of = $280 Minimum over the period of “12points” your now coughing up a total of $3360. *it’s debatable* Scheme 2: Ok let’s say you’re on your P’s The same law applies to us, that is 10km over the limit = Double the fine and only 1 point… but as you all know, get caught doing 10km over the speed limit and it’s an instant loss of license (very easy to happen to un-experienced drivers and also even the experienced ones). OK so you get done once and !BAM! You lose your license for 6months and pay your fine of $250 +$20 VC levy + $80 for breaching your P plate conditions. “Not a problem” you say to yourself, you wait out the 6 months and then you have to go back to Motor Reg office and re purchase your “learners” permit ($90 depending what state) you then have to wait 24hours to then sit your Learner to Provisional permit test (can vary to $120 - $200 depending who you through) and then you head back to the motor reg office and pay for your provisional license ($120+) all you have payed a total of $680 (minimum) to basically start again from scratch and most probably get caught up in the same loop once more (if you’re like me and drive basically 7 days a week to work + visit your clients + be the only transport for your family, you can bet your sweet ***** that unless you’re constantly doing -10km under the limit that you’re going to get done some where eventually) And to make matters more interesting > if you decide to debate the fine to the courts, and you’re eligible to do it (remember you have to wait 5 years before re pledging a loss of license) they will give you either a 12:30 to 6:30 curfew / or passenger limit probation rule… Break any of these and its either instant loss of license for 12 months or jail time (if not both). Does anyone else here actually pick up that there is a serious problem with how the law is being policed at the moment? Does anyone know whether or not Police actually have a quota they have to hit on a daily basis which turns them from human (understanding that everyone is human and we can make a mistake) or do they become Robo cops where lenience is unacceptable and there no tolerance? Does anyone here actually find it highly unfair? Un law fall? Or even just plain stupid? I want your debate on this topic and let’s see if we can get enough people to actually take this debate further. *note* this is not a public roasting so I really don’t want to be abused over me starting this topic. I just want other people’s opinions and stories.
  3. Except maybe this Model COMES with a Topless Toyota Mascot Girl? Ide buy it

  7. I reckon you might have a spark lead loose... had the same problem with my VS SS one of the Leads where loose and caused the Engine to Iddle Routh (hence why in D it feels like its a Vibrator and in N it feels normal) also have a look at the Temp Gauge and Radiator > u could have an access heat problem causing the car to Idle Roughly... Does it do it when you drive aswell? or drive slow?

Or those ones that your following and they are going slow (could be left or right lane), then when you go to the other lane to overtake them, they speed up. >< dont you wish you could chuck your Monkey Wrench At them Also Idiots That Stick To The Left lane and do 10km under the speed limit... Because driving Slowly never killed... But Driving Fast Has o.O'
  13. Ok so im thinking about buying an old school tyota to make into a drift machine / or even Adelaide Rally car (the club hill runs they hold now and then) I was thinking about buying an old banged up AE86.... but there fairly over priced Then i looked into a MR2 (serries 1) again fairly overpriced with a 10k budget what would you get to strip/clean/and spree into a life of drift?

Jesus bro, Thank for this :) helped clear out a stupid question i had in the back of the head for a while, I do something simmilar on the track but i drop to second and heel toe > same idea? or does dropping to third have better effect on coming out of the corner?
