Yeah i handled it fine. i did exactly what i intended to do and was in control. The cops actual words were "you think you were pretty clever back there don't you". so i dont think it ever crossed his mind that it happened by mistake or by poor driving skills.

cheers mate. useful info. thats what i wanted to hear. and thank you to the few other that posted useful info and undertood that i wasnt trying to boast or get out of anything i was simply asking whats next. and to the ppl that decided to attack...... eat it

its pretty clear that i did it on pupose you twat. and i handled it fine thanks

cheers mate. im pretty sure he has the right to display his badge and they can still arrest people when they are off duty though. and im sure if he had an infringement book on him he would have written me up. the question is whether he follows it up and if i get anything in the mail. heres...

Well heres hoping nothing comes of it. its definitely scared me enough to stop me doing it in traffic. i try to turn mine off all the time. for me personally, it does more harm than good. i respect other ppls opinions on it but this is the first car ive owned that has it and i hate the way...

im looking at it this way. if the court says im in the wrong so here is your sentence then i will take my medicine. if they say "umm actually the officer has done this wrong and we can not charge you" then im not going to hand my keys over and say "please take my car and license as i deserve it"...

I wasnt asking people how i can get out of it. i was asking what happens next. Did you even read the thread properly before you climbed up onto your high horse? i clearly stated that i was in the wrong and that if the officer followed the right procedures then i would take it on the chin.

In my VS ute the seatbelt sign used to light up for about 3 seconds when you started the engine whether you had the seatbelt on already or not. Guess its more of a reminder than anything.

thanks mate. he was pretty fired up about it so i dont like my chances. guess he was scared that i was gonna come too close to his little mazda. I did immediately appologise after he flashed his badge but he wasnt havin a bar of it. i just hope that it all happens after my mrs gets back from...

Well i had a mate in the car with me. but i guess that doesnt really count as a solid witness. and he would be lieing so i wouldnt ask a mate to do that for me. i dont really want to lie to get out of it but what im saying is, if the officer has gone about it the wrong way and makes his claim...

alot of people are telling me that there is no evidence to back up his claims. without him issuing me with a ticket and me signing it, he cant really place me as the driver at the scene. and it is his word against mine. if there is no chance of me winning the argument then ill just accept it and...

So yesterday the roads were quite wet in PERTH and i had my traction control off which resulted in a little drift around a corner. Now b4 ppl start sookin it, yes i agree it was stupid and i deserve the consequenses. So apparently the car behind me was on an off duty officer in a new mazda...

Hey Mate I Have an 02 VX Clubsport with the exact same thing that you are describing. slow around corners at idle it had a really rough clunk and some time when slowly coming to a stop at idle in a straight line. Mine is a 6 speed manual and ive put a twin plate dampened ceramic clutch in it so...

Yeah I checked codes. Nothing showing. I had a quick look at the dizzy but as u would know it's in a pretty horrible spot to get to so could do much apart from make sure everything was plugged in. When I have some time over the weekend I'll take some bits off and check them. Otherwise find a...

Hmm Alrite thanks mate. I have a very weak pulse holding the main lead of the coil when turning it over. Im thinking it's something to do with that coil but if I can get my hands on another ignition module I'll try that

Hmm not really that I could get easily. Any way to test this without bolting a different one up? The car has been off the road for close to a year as I was slowly fixing diff problems. Only in the last couple days has it gone further than just around the block.

Deity = switch. Sorry for the horrible spelling, I'm using my phone to do this while crouched under my bonnet

I have 5 litre vs ute as a spare car. My brother borrowed it today and while driving it stalled out of nowhere. All fluids and battery is find so I go to check spark. Nothin :( I've just checked for fault codes (which I thought there would be a million) and it reads 12 all good...

dupont jet black? is this the factory clubsport black? this is exactly what i need but wont have funds for a couple months atleast :(

ive had the exact same problem in my VS ute about 6 months ago. think its an aftermarket thermo but it was the relay that caused the problem. i just blew another one last nite changing the battery, must of shorted it out. ive got a switch inside the cabin to manually turn the thermo on and off...

alrite cheers guys, some good points and opinions. a second hand blower was one thing that i was considering. im aware that this can be risky because, really, if you have a blower on ur car ur gonna give it a good thrashing otherwise it would be piontless. so anything that is second hand and...

I would think the standard clutch didnt like that a whole lot... and if that was not the problem then it will become the problem very soon. the standard one doesnt like too much "chirping". i would start saving a few pennies to upgrade ur clutch if ur gonna treat ur clubbly as a burnout car. i...

cheers guys. comfort isnt really that big of an issue for me. the ute in my shed used to be my daily and that was far from comfortable. in saying that i have gotten used to the clubsport but that again has a brass button clutch thats not exactly smooth anyhow. The "legal" aspect is one thing...

Hey guys. cam/exhaust or PD blower? Im currently driving a stock VX clubby as a daily. the only mod being h/duty clutch. I have another car in the shed (vs 5L ute) that ill be fixing up and selling very shortly which should leave me with just under $10k to go nuts with. now for the...

cheers mate i think ill take it somewhere else this afternoon

sorry to dig up an old thread but im getting worried about my diff. i have the same shudder an my VX clubsport. most noticible at low speed in 1st or 2nd. it seems to be getting worse. you can hear things grinding and it shakes the whole car. i had my lsd cones de-glazed about a week ago and...

i have a gilmer kit on my car. its sounds really nice when driving and gets alot of attention. although i am sick of dropkicks asking me if its supercharged :bang: ive had it on for a couple yrs and havent had any problems. still got P/S but no A/C and as stated above, if you find the right...

alrite cheers guys ill give it a another go. mite have to glue it back together tho... turns out you really cant just stuff it in from the top lol thanks again fellas

hey guys, some how my gear boot has come apart from the square plastic mount thing and i cant for the life of me figure out how it all goes back together. its just the standard rubber boot. i cant find anything in the search tool so im sorry if this has been asked a thousand times. any...

something doesnt sound right there. it should be $150 and 2 demerits for anything between 10 and 19 km/h over the limit. ive had 3 points and a $300 fine for doing 27km/h over the limit. so for u to recieve 4 points is not rite unless it was a long weekend or holiday period where double demerits...

lol what a tool aye

the ones i got were Calibre - Extra Vision Blue. it sed on the pack ultra white light and 50% more light volume. they were just under $40 so i thought what the harm in givin em a crack. and yeah like i sed, im pretty happy with em. fairly bright and a nice blue tinge. thats even through old VS...

i put a set in my car a couple weeks ago. i dont think they were Narva tho. just a $40 set from supercheap. i wasnt impressed at first coz i didnt think they were very blue but they are heaps brighter and in night time you can notice the blue

few years back i had an old 100cc 2-stroke AG bike. kicked it over while i was on the patio facing the house. the throddle jams wide open and this thing is sittin there revin it t**s off. didnt have a kill switch or a key. so i thought if i put it in a high gear and dump the clutch theres a good...

yep thats correct. here in WA P platers got 12 points same as every1 else before they brought in the red and greens. dont know if its changed since then but if u had ur licence before those rules came in then u should still have ur licence. did you lose 4 points in one go for speeding? unless...

you ride an RGV250 and you wanna talk bout "real bikes". lol at you

ha ha i totally agree... i hate those damn stickers. so far ive only seen them on crappy excel's or barina's. but the moment i see one on a nice commodore, that kid is gonna cop an earful.

its all depends on how much experience you have on bikes. there is always a chance of making a simple little mistake that will see you hit the tarmac. alot of my mates are into a road bike phase and the majority of them didnt grow up around bikes so its all brand new to them. they have...

i got a few bikes.... some just sit in the shed waitin to be brought out. 2001 CR250R 2006 CR450F 2006 125cc Hybrid Thumpstar (very rare) junior speedway sidecar with a CBR250RR senior speedway sidecar with a Kawasaki 1100 (restricted to 1049cc as per rulebook)

hmm havent heard that here in WA but it does make sense... could turbo a cbr250 and it would be just as dangerous as havin a big bike
