Yep things are getting bad here, but its mainly over zealous cops, picking on the road racers!

As I am going under car there is heaps of length, but only allows for 8.5" width and 4" depth and the muffler would be flush with chassis rails at that.

There is an outfit which is going to build an engine for me, they make a racing muffler that has a 700bhp, 8000 rpm chev engine under 95dba, the guy is a guru he builds most of the Fords here for speedway etc and he is booked virtually for a year, the claim is no power loss.

It just makes the car enthusiast more determined to do what we can get away with, why have an a**holes behind desks spoiling my enjoyment, especially when they hate cars themselves.

I wrote a letter to the LTSA (Land transport) giving my point of view, as this young fellow, (wifes, bosses, son) was doing 80kph in a 50kph area and his friend was following him from a good distance, result car impounded and parents incensed and fighting charge of road racing with a good lawyer, the police should've giving him a speeding ticket only.

Well I suppose all I can hope for is the police car biff a rod and it hits the cop between the eyes.
