    Sounds a little bit bullshity TBH. 170 and didn't lose his license? 

     

    I never said license I said car. But he did drive off on the day and tell the cop to post him a ticket... I doubt you or I would get away with that at that speed.

    NZ Herald do inch closer to satire everyday but sadly this particular joke begins and ends with the courts.

    Given old mate down south the other day told the cops to shove it and drove off after being clocked at circa 170 when he was warned for speeding minutes before and didn't lose his car in court even, I reckon you would be hard done by to lose your car.

     

    I mean the laws the law and all but yeah...

    What have you done to your car today?

    This is the usual set up I go for because its cheap and it does exactly what I want (except for the amp - I usually go for an earthquake amp but it was out of stock everywhere) 

     

    1x Pioneer GM-D9601 Mono Amp - 24000w max @ 1ohm - 1200wrms @ 1ohm (I'll be running my setup on 1ohm) 

    2x cheap 12" Pioneer TS-W311D4 subs (4ohm Dual voice coil) (1400w max - 400wrms each)

    1x cheap set of pioneer components for the front doors TS-G1605C 

    1x 4gauge kicker amp wiring kit (their wiring kits are so nice - some of the best wiring I've used) 

    I have an existing pair of jvc coax 6.5's for the rear doors that I have had sitting around for a while 

     

    This will all be running off the factory headunit initially (kenwood unit) 

     

     

     

     

     

    Whats that cost approx if you dont mind me asking? I know how to install stuff but dont really know (or care tbh) whats really good. I just want a nice sound.

    Also why are cusco roll cages crap, surely a car with one of them is going to be a bit stronger in a roll over than one without?

     

     

    To be fair I wouldnt get in any car with a bolt in cage regardless of brand. A bolt is significantly less strong than a good weld and from the moment it pops out in a crash or roll over your basically in a blender with a steel bar.

    Both of you have the same amount of factual data to back up your opinions and looks like you have both run the same tests....

     

    So it doesnt really matter how long the discussion runs neither of your c*cks are going to grow any longer. Nobodys winning here today.

     

    I suggest dicks out at 3 paces... He who touches first wins!!!

     

    Kind of :/

    Yeah no denying they are expensive little monsters but it wouldn't be a daily so not too concerned as hopefully kms wont go up much. The WRX did more kms over the Flatnats weekend than it has the previous 2 years combined.

     

    And yup reserve not met Loren, trying to work out what there truly worth.

    All i know is you should own one once. F***ing expensive to fix is the other thing i know.

    Just realized this isnt the Trademe thread btw, sorry OP wasnt trying to steal your thread. Will see if I can move it :/

    Night cruise kind of freaks me out. It brings up FnF images in my head and wanna race g type stuff. If handled appropiately and authorities notified its a damn sound idea tho.

     

    Puke is a bit of a C*** iirc ray knows more. Long way from wellies and SI was my thought.

     

    We have done Night cruises in the past, has to be pretty strictly kept in check but it can be done. Mystery cruise with a set leader is the key in my experience. 

     

    Shame about Puke, I have done Motorsport in Auckland 2 out of 3 days with Taupo in the middle and it was a real slog. I guess I would hope if people are going to make the trek to Taupo for a single day 3 days in a closer environment wouldn't be too big of an ask. 

     

    But to be fair I would roll out for it either way ha ha.

    Im kind of thinking along the lines of the following:

     

    Day 1 Friday

    Merermere dragstrip side by side timed potentially a grass/gymkhana alongside.

     

    Day 2 Saturday 

    Trackday potentially Taupo but disregard location at present.

     

    Day 3 Sunday

    Mass meet/dynoday/BBQ/photo shoot at PBMS.

     

    I like this, but its a lot of kms for some. Get to Auckland, not really a lot of accommodation near Meremere, haul to Taupo is a decent one from Auckland or even Hamilton and then back to PBMS next day.

     

    As suggested above Puke might be a better choice for track, stay in South Auckland or even Pukekohe and cut out a few hundred KMs. Could even do a mystery cruise one night for those who wants to rack up the miles or may not be so keen on a Motorsport event?

    PS if you have your eyes open there's other things on this weekend too......

     

    I made the comment wondering that earlier J-rod :P

     

    None of this changes my objection to the post, its provocative and sarcastic for the sake of it. I am a firm believer sarcasm has its place but I am sure if I rewrote the post just a little and used a race, religion, gender or name with the associated stereotypical notion about said sector of society the world would be in an uproar. However as its aimed at "Car Enthusiasts" its not a big issue right?

     

    That all said as I am sure all of you who know me well enough know I dont associate with any of that dodgy stuff. My cars legit and I have been repping the club banner well at cruises, meets and especially track stuff for years. The next few days will be no different :)
