I like it, but I'm rather biased since it's my car
who here hates the fucking pigs?
Serious, why don't they go solve some real crime?
They defected my mate for being .1mm below ride height and yet when i called 000 a few weeks back about my house being robbed they did jack fucking shit.
Fucking cunts
>>14054185
Fuck you Dave.
>>14054405
>why don't they go solve some real crime?
because that would require doing actual work
and it wouldn't result in them making lots of money.
>>14054422
Fuck you Ryan.
>>14054428
fuckin oath mate, the pigs are just out to get as much revenue for the government as possible.
they're too scared to tackle real crime where i live, they're deathly afraid of the gangs and won't even fucking set foot without a full raid team.
but they're happy to hunt down kids trying to develop their passion for cars who are not causing any trouble or doing anything antisocial at all.
it's fucking weak shit
>>14054222
I'm the new catboy. Old catboy is long gone. Boyfriend owns mr2.
Make enough sense?
>>14054428
>Implying the police can solve any crimes
>Implying they're not there just to take paperwork
I live in western sydney and they always talk on the media about how amazing our gun control is.
I wonder if any of these yuppie fucks ever come down to the west, there's a shooting every fucking day here.
>>14054453
>Boyfriend owns mr2
is jimmy the giver or receiver?
>>14054453
then who is the other nz cunt posting the mr2?? do you have a mr2 too?
Bf isn't Jimmy
Bf's mr2 is a blue one.
Sorry I thought you were talking about his I don't know any others.

How much will an old radiator cost me? Room-mates set up a pool under the pergola and it's cold as ice, gonna use the radiator as a heater
>>14054567
car radiator or one from a house? you can get old car radiators for like $30 at a wrecking yard
>>14054405
I love messing with them, I know if a few one way speed cameras I fly past on my bike since I don't have a front plate.

Six months old and already it's more fucked than it was before they did anything to it, fucking hell. They knew this was what was going to happen too.
So glad I wasn't on the bike riding home today.
>>14054565
drunk driver here, i got out of a breatho the other day by giving the cop 300 bucks. corrupt cunt.
i knew i was over but i was fine to drive, it was just 2 shots of vodka, but try explaining that to a judge.
thankfully the corrupt piggy took my bribe
>>14054618
aye, paid an "on the spot" fine in victoria a while ago after I "accidentally" broke the rears loose
really makes me hate the cunts
>>14054658
to be honest, they're corrupt cunts but the government is more corrupt for enabling this shit.
i would rather pay the fine to the pig and get no record and lose no demerits.
once paid 1k to a copper for driving 190km/h, would have gotten impounded but thankfully he gave me an out.
so t...thanks hoon laws, you've now made corrupt coppery rampant.
>>14054616
>tasmania
>things melting
yeah nah
did they build the roads with ice cream or something?
>>14054672
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they did.
Ice cream would probably make a better road surface than the shitty tar they used as well.
>>14048790
I know exactly what you mean, I straight piped the Ninjette once for shits and gigs and it was fucking awful.
Can't imagine a proper exhaust is going to sound much better imo.
>>14054616
I drove from Launceston to Hobart and back the other day, it was pretty fucked in spots
>>14054691
Straight piped MC22s sound pretty good. One guy I know with those IXIL Silencers admits it sounds like shit but doesn't want to put the baffles back in because it'll mean admitting it sounds bad. Fucking stupid.
>>14054618
>>14054658
>>14054670
how do you initiate this kind of thing?
I can imagine that any attempt I make would end up like bribing scene in fargo, sans murder though lel
>>14054758
Probably something like "Is there any way I can pay the fine on the spot?"
>>14054693
I haven't been north in a long while but southbound it's terrible, especially over Constitution Hill.
Serves as a reminder as to why I avoid riding on it at all costs.
>>14054744
>says it sounds like shit
>won't put the baffles in because that would be admitting it sounds like shit
>even though he already did
That doesn't add up. MC22s do sound amazing straight piped though, if I had one I'd probably end up doing that more often than not.
>>14054772
You say "this is my first fine, should i pay now or later?".
95% of cops will take the bribe and you won't get it recorded on your name.
If you've been busted before, you can't exactly say it's your first so i would just leave cash sitting on the dash. The copper either takes it or ignores it.
>>14054798
>>14054772
but that would mean you'd need to be acrrying large amounts of money on you whenever you're driving?
>>14054805
Pretty much, I don't image cops take card for bribes
>>14054805
a grand's not that much, if not that then keep 500 in your wallet for when you're out hooning, it might save your car from impound.
i would have been fucked at 190 and made the news, if i diden't bribe the pig
>>14054805
I usually keep 100 on me and 2x100 hidden in the car for emergencies
300 bucks isn't bad for a bribe, sorta on the low side I reckon
but yeah, same as the other guy, I just went all "yeah can I pay that fine on the spot"
>>14054776
I mean he sees it as a public admission or something silly like that.
I ran a Daishin exhaust which is pretty much a step before straight pipe. It was 109db wide open from memory.
I'm going with an Akrapovic system this time.
Here's something i find very fucking dumb.
L plater here and my mate who's full license and a complete hoon has been teaching me to drive for the last year.
Every 2 nights, i've gone out to woop woop and done top speed attacks under all conditions, as well as daily driving.
I've gotten more driving done in a high powered vehicle done in this year than most boomer fucks have done in their entire life.
Now soon, i'm going to be on my P's and under all these bullshit restrictions about power. Who else thinks they're fucking stupid? Let me explain why.
>Modern car with 1kw over the power/weight ratio but has great safety rating (banned)
>Old shitbox with 1kw under the power/weight ratio but will kill you at a 30km crash (ALLOWED!!)
Is this crap really serious? Do they not understand i can get up to 200km/h in a shitbox and kill myself anyway?
Do they not understand that i've been safely driving my mate's supercar for the last year in high stress situations with ZERO PROBLEMS?
It's like all this bullshit they spout about safety is just bullshit, why the fuck can't i buy an AMG sedan with flawless safety ratings that will keep me safe at 150km/h over a shitbox that will kill me at a low speed crash?
>>14054853
It makes sense on the surface if you sit back and think about it. Realistically though if someone is inclined to drive like an asshole they'll do it in anything they drive.
Unfortunately it was more a case of a small group wrapping higher powered cars around trees ruining it for everyone else. Not that it ever affected me, had my fulls before restrictions were a thing.
>>14054853
Because they don't care about safety. It's all a fucking lie mate, to get revenue.
You think they don't know what you just said is true about newer cars being safer?
>>14054853
>another juvie cunt who thinks they know everything
>>14054867
Well that's the fucking thing mate, i just don't get it.
I'm on my L's and i've been street racing and doing top speed attacks. I've learned from some really good drivers and i'm grateful to them for that.
If they stick me in a shitbox, i will still hoon it. Nothing will change other than it's going to be less safe for everyone.
It's not like high powered cars are hard to handle, they're really not.
>>14054869
It seems that way.
They're intentionally pushing p platers into unsafe cars with this shit.
>>14054870
I'm actually 24, i just never got into cars until recently. Try reading what i actually wrote.
Postim8, how long did you get out of sparkplugs in the mc22?
>>14054878
okay, some old neet cunt who thinks they know everyone
>>14054878
Guess what m8, you can buy a turbo diesel for big $$$$ but it will be fucking fast to 100.
Their rules are complete bullshit, we all know it, but you just gotta suck it up.
Go turbo diesel, i did and i was pulling like 5 sec to 100 in my suv.
So much for their "safety".
>>14054885
22 minutes out and in.
>>14054853
The road isn't a racetrack.
C63's aren't supercars.
All it takes is one accident to kill yourself.
We're not scared of you killing yourself on the road,we worry about the innocent people you could kill.
You have a lot of growing up to do.
I work for vicroads and you would be amazed how many full license drivers at the office have gotten busted themselves for having mods to their car that are in no way dangerous but bullshit regulations.
Everyone here fucking hates it, but the politicians are to blame. They want to look good in the eyes of the public, they don't give 2 fucks about logic.
Personally i wish we were harder on getting a roadworthy for those shitboxes you're talking about, but fairer on people doing mods and trying to enjoy their passion for cars.
It's fucking retarded mate and you're not alone in your thinking.
>>14054893
Second this.
Prick glorifies street racing.
NEET
>>14054919
You been hitting the billy mate? Talking how long between changes
>>14054937
Nah, you gotta change them every 22 minutes.
You haven't been changing your sparkplugs every 22 minutes??
>>14054924
I'm not driving a c63 at the moment, i'm driving my mate's 458 italia.
I wanted to get a c63 for myself because it's both fast and safe. Apparently not, but it's ok for me to get a shitbox that will cause a crash?
That's all i want explained. Why the fuck is it ok for me to drive the biggest pile of shit that's a danger to everyone else, but not something with modern safety features that's a few kw above their power to weight ratio?
And ontop of that, there's nothing you can do to stop me hopping in said shitbox and having a crash. You think i can't get to 200km/h in that shitbox? Of course i can.
Or don't you want me to have a proper fucking braking system, ABS, Crumple zones and better steering?
And for the record, all my racing has been done with no-one around for 20km in sight. I'm not saying i hoon in the city, because i have more sense than that.

If everybody could have new cars they would.
People have older cars because they're what they afford/want?
What's so bad about that?
>>14054945
Get a load of this dreamer.
>>14054935
He's right, you're missing the entire fucking point he's making.
These shitboxes on our roads are way more dangerous than if he's driving a GTR around.
Just the other week i saw some cunt coked off his face driving a 60's holden, thing would not stop screeching.
Deathtrap waiting to happen. Why are the cops not pulling these cunts over?
>>14054943
Fucking oath, might have to fill my tank with plugs instead of fuel now.
>>14054853
most drivers are fucking retarded, amd it's easier for them to do stupid shit in more powerful cars
remember, we're all car enthusiasts, we might take driving seriously but hektik habib just wants to look cool when he does a slid
>>14054945
>all my racing has been done with no-one around for 20km in sight
so you've been driving un supervised?
off to the gulag with you
>>14054950
Not older cars mate, just the ones like the holden this bloke's talking about >>14054952
They're death traps waiting to happen.
Anyway as others have said, get a turbo diesel. Then you can legally go fast, they're just expensive (but if you were considering a c63 then you can get a good turbo diesel).
Ignore the cunts who believe ACA propaganda, just don't drive like an idiot in the city or you will get busted (but you already know that so you're miles ahead).
>>14054853
you're just caught in the minority, it's to stop most of the other cunts that'll happily kill themselves and others
whinge a bit harder and they'll change the laws just for you
or maybe you should have gotten your license earlier instead of being a neet cunt
>>14054945
Doesn't change the fact that your mentality at 24 is closer to that of a 15 year old boy when fast and the furious came out.
>>Everybody has to pay their dues.
It's about proving you're responsible enough to have a high output car...Which for you is questionable.
>>14054960
Well, except for my teacher.
>>14054949
So retarded, right? That's the shit i'm talking about, not some idiot doing burnouts in the CBD. Because that's just asking to get fucked.
>>14054957
I get that, but it's not like they can't cause carnage in their shitboxes. Infact, these older cars are less safe.
That's what fucks with my head. They spew propaganda non stop about safety, but they ban safe cars?
The turbo diesel thing is the perfect example. It's legal for me to get something doing 5 sec to 100 apparently?
What a fucking joke, the laws are full of backflips.
>>14054966
I will get on a racetrack and take a test to prove i'm a fucking good driver, i've learned how to drive and i'm happy to prove it.
But this was never about me being upset i can't drive a high powered car, because i'm just going to do it anyway, be it a turbo diesel or a sleeper or even driving with mates in the passenger seat on the black Ps.
I brought this entire topic up to ask why the fuck they're such god damn hypocrites about this shit.
>Why the fuck are safe sedans banned yet turbo diesels that can't take corners for shit allowed?
anyone seen this shit yet?

>>14054885
I can't remember sorry. We tore it apart earlier this year, but the details escape me.
This link should help you.
http://cbr250.com/resources/plugguide/index.html
>>14054952
New drivers tend to overestimate their skills. The laws are generalised, they don't sit down and analyze every car because there's no point.
It's more to do with this >>14054966
>>14054977
Prove what on a racetrack? Driving on the road and in traffic is a very different skill set to driving on a track.
Either way the laws aren't changing, your best bet is to get your PS and wait it out.
>>14054405
Yes. I got harassed by 1 cop because my cars rego was out that day and it was 12:05am and he says my rego is out, gave me a fine for $780,
then a week later I rev my car to 3k because this car in front of me was giving me the shits. stopping & going, being slow, etc. get another fine for being a hoon + no p plate on the back because the stupid things keep falling off the window.
I've given up on driving and started walking everywhere because of pigs. I can't do anything.

What are the rules on using tablets guys? I get using a phone is out but what about using a tablet as a GPS?
>>14055198
it's not a phone and therefore fine to be used.
>>14055205
that's crap. it doesn't matter if it can make calls, an ipod touch can get you done like a phone can
dash integrated - maybe,
loose - gl
anyone have the aca hoon patrol image?
you know you can get done for anything that a cop deems 'distracting'
you could get down for adjusting the volume of your radio or turning on the A/C if the cop is in a shitty mood.
>>14055211
it's not about whether it can make calls or not

Poor balding Marty.
>>14055198
If you're on a full license and it's in an approved hands free cradle you'll be fine.

>>14055238
It was covered a few threads back. Using any mobile device is not allowed on Ps. This includes iPod Touch, tablets, etc.
By the strict definition of the law, having your phone plugged into the head unit and playing music (without your input) is illegal, but the odds of getting done for it are nil.
As far as full licenses go
>Using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited, except to make or receive a phone call or to use its audio/music functions provided the phone:
>is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle, or
>can be operated by the driver without touching any part of the phone, and the phone is not resting on any part of the driver's body.
>Using a phone as a navigational device/GPS while driving is prohibited unless it is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle. All other functions (including video calls, texting and emailing) are prohibited.

To our postie anon(s?), what are jobs like there? Thinking of trying some night work there
>>14055271
>maybe he has a virtual machine for some haxx0r tuning programs
I'd imagine he has a dual boot or virtual machine specifically for that yeah.
>>14055282
What sort of job you thinking about? Your odds of getting night work is practically zero. Most centres are or already have dropped night shift.
On a side note got this earlier. Feel like a super soldier with it on.
>>14055291
Nice, how much was that?
I'm thinking about getting this for my jacket from Revzilla if I ever end up ordering my expensive helmet.
Bloke at a bike shop was trying to flog it off for me for $180 aud, but for $89 usd it's much more affordable.
>tfw have also thought about working at AusPost or something.
Wouldn't know what sort of jobs that go on there other than Posties or Sorters.
>>14055281
Started and ran it like 6 times since then and it's still not working, both sets of blower fuses seem fine so I guess the blower itself needs replacing. Fucking typical to have it shit itself on a 43c day.
>>14055269
>fat bowl
Why are all stoners trying so hard to be seppos now?
>>14055312
Well a bowl is bigger than a cone so it's easier than saying a few cones.
>>14055304
Nothing. Friend gave it to me on "extended loan" because he apparently never uses it. Think I told him I was going to buy one a couple months ago because of that muscle tear in my back.
$89 USD is about $125 isn't it? You'll likely have to pay for shipping as well since it's international. If you're not in a hurry you could try Riide. It took him two months to get my gloves though, so keep that in mind.
>Wouldn't know what sort of jobs that go on there other than Posties or Sorters.
Pretty much everything honestly. We do almost everything in house. To get to anything further up (technicians, etc) you'd need to do twelve months of consecutive contracts, so your initial contract plus three renewals. Your best in is as a Slotter (sorter), Custom Service Rep (Call Centre), or as a Postal Delivery Officer.
Annexe PDOs deliver only, Centre PDOs sort and deliver.
Unfortunately you've probably missed the window to get a Casual Slotter job over Christmas, but there should be an influx early January when we switch over to two speed mail.
Poor Z, rims are too nigger
>>14055327
Post office gives package delivery to contractors right? Got all this space in the wagon not doing anything and seems like a decent job, just gotta find out who to contact.
Hey is there anything wrong with having 6.5" speakers in the front and 6" in the rear. Got them on sale and couldn't be bothered waiting for them to restock.
Also any Melbourne guys wanna do a cruise soon?
>>14055340
Small is done by PDOs. Some is in house and some is contracted.
>wagon
They probably wouldn't want you to use that. You'd almost certainly have to get a van. Most of them do more than just parcel delivery as well.
A contractor I know sorts mail in the morning, takes the van out to do parcels and drop the next areas mail off, then hops on a bike to do a mail round. It's a long day.
>>14055345
no.
>>14055327
>You'll likely have to pay for shipping as well since it's international
Yeah but I meant if i'm getting something else it won't be as big of an issue.
Ideally i'd love to be a postie, I think a slotter would be a bit monotonous and really don't want to do any sort of customer service having already done a large stint of that elsewhere.
>Unfortunately you've probably missed the window to get a Casual Slotter job over Christmas, but there should be an influx early January when we switch over to two speed mail.
I'd probably be looking for something part-time to full-time, enough to keep me being able to live in a small place on my own.
>two speed mail.
What's that?
>>14055340
>>14055350
Worth noting he was a PDO for how ever many years before that as well. Your best bet is to work as a courier for a few years before trying to get a contract.
Parcel delivery needs somewhere around 96% on-time delivery, so they're very unlikely to even consider someone without experience and references.
>>14055345
Are they stock or what? 6.5 will be a tight fit if you use an adapter and still want it to fit under the original speaker grill.
>>14055350
Ah that sucks then.
>>14055345
Nope, really you'd want the larger speakers up front since that's where you are.
>>14055038
Topkek, I got pulled over today for my P plate on the back being faded as fuck to the point it was white. Got let off with a warning because I was 50 meters from home
>>14055351
>Ideally i'd love to be a postie, I think a slotter would be a bit monotonous
You'd be looking for an Annexe PDO then. Five hour days, delivery only. Full time PDOs sort mail as well.
>What's that?
Australia is changing to two speed mail on January 4th I believe. Basically means when a sorting machine gets the days mail, it'll stall regular mail until the next day and priority mail will go ahead.
Forget the specifics (it's not relevant to me) but if I remember standard mail will have a five business day delivery time frame (up from three) and priority mail will be the equivalent of standard now.
A lot of it is also about embedded QR bar-codes instead of stamps to stop people reusing stamps.
>>14055359
>Ah that sucks then.
Like I said, I'd look for a courier job if you want to do that sort of work. StarTrack is AusPost as well so may as well see what work they have.
Hope that info helps you guys, if you have any other questions about the job fire away, I'll answer the best I can.

>tfw no MC22 with a titanium Akrapovic race system
>>14055392
My favourites would be Elephant Pass through to St Mary's from Bicheno (pretty narrow road for a car though so take it easy up there, nearly got cleaned up by a farmer cutting a corner once), St Helens to Scottsdale through Pyengana, Weldborough etc (tight and foresty in places), and the Sideling (somewhere between Scottsdale and Launceston, can't remember what towns) are my personal favourites.
Bicheno out to Coles Bay is nice as well and there's a reasonable fish and chip shop out there should you feel inclined also.
Most of the east coast is pretty scenc though, you can see the sea from the road, the white sands of the beaches, the cool forests at your sides etc.
>>14055466
>Noice, that should sound beastly as fuck.
Yeah it was that or Termis and I friend of mine has the latter so... The carbon Akras should look great too with the RNG Tail Tidy.
>MC22 with a titanium Akrapovic race system
I'm actually not sure if they outperform a full Daishin system. With a tune it was +3 or +4hp. Doesn't sound like a ton but that's almost 10% power increase.
>>14055464
Takes a little bit to get used to it but I fucking love the rear of it.
>>14055464
isn't that the car that was so much worse than everyone expected?
>>14055478
Pain in the ass to get on hoist aswell.
how's life going /dat/, are we going to make it?
>>14055452
that looks so comfy
>>14055466
Sideling is gonna be too far I think, considering I should spend some time with the senpai desu. Will head up to Bicheno and Elephant Pass though, been a while since I've been that way.

10% more power on such a light bike would probably feel pretty decent on the ass dyno I reckon.

Do they really expect me to notice if my P Plates are faded or have fallen off? Why can't we live in the 21st century and get rid of them. Also they should make every driver equal on the roads.

>>14055645
>Probation
>A process or period in which a person's fitness, as for work or membership in a social group, is tested.
Your ability to drive is being tested. It's the same premise as a probation period for a job.
>>14055651
How are you meant to see that it is damaged when no one goes near the back of their car often.
Yes they do expect you to notice that considering you can clearly see them when you are outside the car if they are displayed properly...
and no fuck you cunt, I want to be able to crack a beer after work and sink that without doing something illegal.
How autistic are you exactly?
>>14055658

I have a hyundai excel, It might as well be a ute because I never go to the back of it. Only to fuel up is when I go near the back.

I'll do what I want, pigs think they can harass p plater they want because they have a p plate on the window.

>>14055725

Oh so you can see the back window (where you plate is displayed) from the driver's seat.
>I'll do what I want, pigs think they can harass p plater they want because they have a p plate on the window.
It's most likely a mix of your driving and your attitude. I got pulled over twice while on my Ps. Passed the attitude test and was on my way.
>>14055738
Yeah well, I am nice to them at first, then they give me attitude and think they can get away with it. Legit fuckwits. I've never met a nice police officer. I've only dealt with cockheads that talk shit. Give me 1 nice cop and I'll change my ways.

I don't know how you aren't bored all the time. Driving for a job would be fun at first, then it would get boring quick (if you're a bus/truck driver doing the same route every day)
>>14055930
I couldn't do it all the time. Last year I only did one tour. If I recall it was eleven days with two days off in the middle, although I was in a city I'd never been too for that.
Typical day was eight to ten hours of driving, then setting a show up, getting through a show, pulling it apart, and repeating. It's after a few days when it starts to get taxing. Thankfully that was kind of short. The four to six week shit kills you.
I wasn't playing that one but have in the past. Adds another level of exhaustion.
Upside is you live for free and have a ton of time to listen to music and chat with whoever you're on your with.

He may or may not be a hoon, we don't know. But i can say for a fact that melbourne's cops are corrupt cunts.
They're too fucking stupid to know what's under someone's hood and will ignore me who's packing so much aftermarket under my hood and go for the p plater genuinely doing nothing wrong.
They also have zero morals and abuse the hoon laws to collect bribes (i'm the anon who paid 1k to a copper earlier in this thread) and you better believe p platers are their biggest targets.
Free cash is what they see them as. If not for their personal pocket then for the state.

>>14059349
I used to street race many years ago and have had plenty of fun times with the police. I'll say straight up it's not the majority who are assholes.
We had a race bike in testing get picked up after being clocked at 240kph. Rider pretty much had the attitude of, "haha, guess you got me". Cop said although it's stupid at least he was doing it at 3am on the newest highway in the state, wrote him up for +45 and only gave him a six month suspension.
Attitude goes a loooong way.
>>14059381
Always got told it was about the attitude myself, be nice and they'll be nice back, be a cunt and they will treat you like one, you'll still encounter a cop that has had a bad day or just some self righteous Simon Pegg Hott Fuzz tier cunt but it's like meeting any old random person really.
>>14059381
I don't think they're assholes, if i was in their position i would be taking bribes too.
The laws are so fucking retarded, it's set up so they can accuse any cunt of "losing traction" and then they have the choice of paying a bribe or being labelled a hoon.
And don't think for a second there are not corrupt cops, because there are heaps.
That being said, there's some nice ones who just let you off with a warning, but they're rare in Melbourne. The country coppers are usually way more chill and less about revenue raising.
I would rather pay the bribe to the copper than have my car impounded for a month because i dump the clutch a little too hard in the wet and do a tiny screech.
Yes, you can get your car impounded for that in straya, if they want to be an asshole.
The laws are beyond fucked knee jerk reactions to a few idiots doing burnouts in people's streets and now we all have to suffer. The coppers are just taking advantage of good business and making some cash on the side.

Pretty much. They can counter anyone bringing up the fact this is guilty until proven innocent and undermines our entire western legal system....with muh kids.
It's the perfect breeding ground for corrupt cops, my only worry is that they will progress from traffic stop bribes to higher levels of corruption.

Well you wouldn't be. In this day and age it's not worth eventually getting reported and being done for fraud and abusing a position of power.

>>14059644

Found the cop.
We all know you're a corrupt cunt, don't act like any of your victims are going to report you and get you in trouble, you know you've got them bent over backwards since they can't admit to a hoon offence or they will lose their car.
>>14059808
I'm polite as shit, i'm not stupid enough to get confrontational when i know they've caught me hooning.
