Held together by cable ties.....

[ebxr8240]

I didn't read that bumper was attached with cable ties.. Only body kit was...
Rags to hold battery ?? I bet it was packed with rags ?? No big deal !!
It possibly isn't running a charcoal canister?? Meaning fuel tank may be vented to atmo ?? Which will make it smell of fuel..Also any engine driven that hard and fast would smell anyway... Tyres in boot !!! Sheesh we better be careful !!! How do we get on taking our slicks to Wsid ??
Didn't know it was a crime !!! Authorities pumping their chests to look like they are doing something... Waynker for driving so fast though ...
Media beat up...

I also thought this was about e-series, only the plastic thing on the side of the passenger seat has them, it wouldnt be an E series otherwise...

Re: The seats, what if he had have hit something, wouldnt they be a massive problem by flying forward? Just a thought for the ones getting defensive....

[genebaby]

I think the tyres were in the back, in place of the back seat, that's what it sounds like.

It is a legal requirement to have seats in the back, even if registered legally as a two seater vehicle, you can't just have empty space back there. It's illegal to then sit there as a passenger. You do have to remove the seat belts/restraints from the rear if it's legally a two seater.

I think some of you are loosing sight of the fact that he was pulled up doing 263KPH in an un roadworthy car....

[stiddy]

Define un-roadworthy......

[genebaby]

no rear seats at all does it straight away. If the dash was really unsecured that would not help the cause.

[stiddy]

I supose it comes down to ones idea of roadworthy then, technically the car may be deemed unroadworthy due to the lack of backseats, but I really can't class the car and being (physically) unroadworthy. The rear seats in no way affect the car on the road.
The guy is a tool for doing those speeds but (alot of us on here can't talk, may not be that extensive though) I hardly doubt the car is anywhere near as bad as its made out to be.

[Nikked]

Un-roadworthy my but, the battery was held in by a clamp/bracket (apposed to just sitting there) his worn out tires were in the car (its not like a full breif case or laptop is any more stupid) and the rear seat wasn't there when he was the only passanger in the car...

Bumper bar held buy cabe ties? No biggie, a bolt hold on a kit no better in normal conditions, its just in a crash that it makes a difference, and beeing a cosmetic thing it means nothing.

Hed did 260k's on a road, the only dumbar$e thing he did...

True 90% of the people here would have broken the speedlimit willfuly at least once.

[MITCHAY]

You have to remember what one simple mod will classify your car as unroadworthy. As Nikked just posted, about the only likely stupid thing he did was the speed he was busted doing and the rest exagerated :

So true i do it everyday almost (not much over) and i lost my license over it aswell. We were all young and dumb once

[yabby6]

nothing said about unroadworthy tyres on the car so i guess back seat removed to carry spare set of wheels and tyres for the track.

[XR06T]

its not unheard of to register a track car as a 2 seater if you have a half cage..

Tires in the back of the car/Smells like fuel -- If I'm not mistaken, the 200SX is a hatch back. So space is a premium. No rear seats = more space for spares and tools. Also, if he was at a race track like described then you have to put your spare fuel somewhere.

Exactly, i dont know what the defect was for? This car is roadworthy (atleast from what we know from the artical).

-No rear seat: Im not too sure (i think some states need the car registered as a 2 seater to do this) but i think removing the seatbelts ok's it...

-Clamp/braket: Clamps/brakets hold down 99% of batterys in cars,

-Fuel smell, as you said prolly a fuel can in there (200sx has a normal boot, not a hatch)

-The Dash not secured? Its very unlikely that the whole dash yould be unsecured, as there is heaps of different sections, not to mention the screws and bolts that hold it in.

-tires in the back: cant get defected for carring tires in you car.

-Cable tied bar: Can't get defected for that, infact cable ties probally do a better job then some factory clips and scews

[HOEBAG]

I hope this guy dishes it to them in court.
I wouldn't be suprised if he had a prang and had to makeshift fix his car! haha
But if 260km/h?

What a douche.

[schnoods]

You know what they need to make????


Chrome plated cable ties. :

[XR6_190]

The Police pulled his car off the road for being un-roadworthy, so we have some moron driving on the countries busiest road, in an un-roadworthy car doing a ridiculous speed, after he has just been to the track where he can legally drive what he wants, how he wants. I can't believe that some of you are backing him up for this.

Sure most of us have sped, But there is a bit of a difference between doing 120 in a 100 zone, to doing 263 in a 110 zone (and who is to say he wasn't going any faster at some point?) Tools like this make all of us 'responsible' car enthusiasts look bad. I hope he gets whats coming to him.

[Fev]

i seriously doubt he was doing 263km's. police arnt even allowed to pull him over as its dangerous speeds. 200km's give or take a few is a bit more likely. Still a dumb thing to do but how many of you have never tried to hit 200km's before? you dont have to answer but its more then half of you ill bet whther it was 20 years ago or last week.

No i dont condone what speeds he did but the rest of the article is bullcrap

Carbon fiber look cable ties would suit the tool drivers market better i think

[5L]

they make stainless steel ones!!!!!

sisters ex bf was a rigger and he had a bag of stainless steel ones, that he used up in telecommunication towers.

i serioulsy doubt this car could do 260km/h my mate has one they run out of steam top end and the gearing wouldnt be set up correctly to do so. they are a sporty car with close gearing for take off not set up for top speed. and going by the description of the car it sounds like a drift car, so if anything it would have a higher diff ratio than standard.

[XR06T]

it would have been on limiter for sure, but apparently it had the balls. rb25 with a gt35

No one condoneing the speeding, but the fact that the car was hardly unroadworthy, at most the defect was for the lack of rear seat, and thats not making the car any more dangerous to you and me.

: Boy some red hearings here... this fool was caught doing a ridiculous speed... then some get on here trying to defend him by claiming his car is roadworthy??? DUH? what's the relevance of that either way? He was doing 263KPH..
Im not sure how anyone would know its roadworthy without knowing this tool.. or having inside info on the charges.. other wise it just smacks of defending the indefensible....

Exactly!

[futura888]

This car sounds like most of mates cars,pretty much every car he has owned has been held together with cable ties or 100mph tape .

Why the hell was he doing 263kph,yet another temporary aussie,hopefully he doesn't take anyone else out with him..what a knob :togo: .
