Boi racers in Christchurch cont'd

It's called trial by media. Media incites people, people demand government action, the next day you can kiss your akrapovic/arrow cans goodbye as govt bans vehicle modification.

We live among 4 million sheeps who can't think of themselves and are happy to shoot themselves on their own foot. Don't believe me? Check out who voted for the labour govt who almost banned lightbulbs and good showers.

Xactly,you really belived that load of nonsense about the showers?The cops dont give a fuck what brand of car you do or do not drive there interest is aroused only by how you chose to drive it.

Yeah I agree my car has gotten no looks at by police until the recent media coverage and now I'm targeted more.

It's not the cop I'm worried about. It's the Phantom Expander.

Larger diameter exhaust pipes improve gas flow and is beneficial especially to a forced-induction engines.

On the other side, changing mufflers is similar to motorbicyclers who chose to put Akrapovic/Arrow/TBR/Leo Vince/etc exhausts on their bikes. There are obviously some exceptions to those who choose these based simply on loudness, but for the others there are indeed performance and aesthetics aspects to consider.

silencers/mufflers of larger internal diameter piping than the preceding plumbing, yield fuck all to no performance gain, aesthetic only, the only advantage over stock is they are a straight through design rather than being multi chambered, you can still have a performance system that is relatively quiet, bmw has this down pat, also the average 4cyl car will sound like any other 4cyl no matter how big and shiny the muffler is, where as bikes actually sound good, biased yes, but i give not a rats ass

christchurch is so bloody boring,no wonder they have so many boy racers,and all the controversy is exactly what they seek.

We have plenty of laws already in place to deal with bad driving,littering,speeding.intoxication,calling policemen naughty names etc.

its up the the enforcers to enforce them.

compulsory vehicle insurance and driver training would be a good start IMO

Maybe you won't run from the cops or speed so much now then. Seriously; saying you have ran from the cops, and speed but aren't a boy racer isn't really a good angle, it sounds like what a boy racer would so... Whats so bad with these laws for you? They aren't going to confiscate your car because it sounds a little louder or has big rim's, so just don't do stupid shit and you'll be fine

[Pixie]

what is a boy racer anyone got a full definition for it.

AJS 7R :

The AJS 7R was a 350 cc racing motorcycle built from 1948 to 1963 by Associated Motor Cycles, also known as the ‘Boy Racer’, first won victories for the factory, and then went on to win races for privateers when made generally available from 1954.

First it's a blacktop and I purchased the car in that condition minus the sounds took it to a dyno and a weigh station. Honestly I don't care if you beleive it or not my car is always underestimated. Plus it makes me happy so yeah insurance is $1800 a year and my excess is $1000.

ok its a black top, my mistake. how did you manage to get that much power from it in n/a form? [seriously, im not picking at you] last black top i had on the dyno here made 101kw atw with a catback and a pointless pod. i have seen 112kw atw with some work done but thats an unlexible motor when its pushing that much [different trumpets, no airbox, wide-band oxy sensor a complete remap thanks to me and all your host of normal mods, head decked and flowed cams etc] pm me details as im quite interested, n\a power is fun!

[ducatilover]

If only life is that simple, mate.

The Phantom Expander!

And that is why we automotive enthusiasts are so pissed off right now. Ride/drive/be in anything that is not a Prius/Holden/Ford/Camry and you get labeled as an outlaw.

its a hopeless cause, i got labled a boyracer when i had my galant vr4, i brought it with a noisy system on it and then hey the police loved me and older people thought i was a knob because my car was growling and sneezing

That's it....I'm putting a Holden badge on mine.

I listened to some bad advice from a friend which is why my first police encounter went bad.

beware it may grow pushrods mate

nothing wrong with push rods help my 6liter move quite well.

Isn't that just it though? Boy racers listen and make bad advice where a mature and rational adult will think clearer and possibly make better decisions

[Edbear]

..

but I don't go out and rip up my tires, drift, cause damage, attack police, run people over, speed past schools etc.

what is a boy racer anyone got a full definition for it.

There may be a clue...
