True, would look a bit silly on the 200sx, see your making 200sx at the threads, good work.

P.S Allan engineering are building a sr20det at the moment for a sports sedan at the moment, they rekon they can get 850hp from it. Do you want me to order one for you

Well, some good news has come of this. Mum and Dad have decided that its not worth fixing the damage, it'll be too much labour costs. The loan on Mum's 2001 Lancer was going to be finished in September, but instead, Mum's going to get a new car now, a Mazda 3 sedan, and i'm going to get the Lancer! I've just got make the next 5 payments, $377AUD a month

A deer whistle should work on 'roos as well, shouldn't it. I have never used one but it might be worth a try. I had one close encounter with a large 12-point stag while driving in a residential area east of Seattle. Over a small hill and there he stood in the middle of the road, at least a 500 pounder, I slammed my brakes and stopped quickly. He just kept looking at the car for a few minutes, motionless. I just enjoyed the site but if it was darker or I was going faster, it would have been very easy to hit him. When he finally strutted away the ground shook, can imagine how hitting something that big would demolish a car, etc. Plus, what a way to waste such a magnificent animal.

A similar device available here is the Shoo Roo - inneffective for roos imo

Auditory deterrents

76.In the context of kangaroo management, ultrasonic deterrent devices have been the subject of a number of public claims regarding efficacy. Models currently being promoted may be fixed to a vehicle or used as a fixed barrier. Whilst these products are promoted from time to time, there remains a lack of scientific evidence of their effectiveness, despite Bomford and O'Brien (1990) outlining design requirements for effective testing.

77.Research at the Australian National University found that Eastern Grey Kangaroos can hear between 2.5 and 30 kHz but hear best between 2.5 and 12 kHz (Guppy 1985), which is well within the range detectable by humans. Further work at the University of Melbourne has found that the signal of one ultrasonic product being promoted as a kangaroo deterrent has a frequency range of 15 to 23 kHz, and can be heard by kangaroos up to a maximum of 50 m from the device. This is above the best hearing range of Eastern Grey Kangaroos although audible to humans (1 to 20 kHz). Ultrasonic frequencies begin at 20 kHz and go upwards, which means that the device has a very small component of desirable ultrasonics (Bender, pers. comm.). Behavioural observations of captive Eastern Grey Kangaroos in response to the signal produced by this ultrasonic device found that the kangaroo's behaviour was not significantly affected. It did not elicit any alert or flight response when activated. In addition, it was found that there was not a significant decrease in the usage of open grassy areas by free-ranging kangaroos at sites where the device was active (Bender, pers. comm.).

78.The work conducted by Bender implies that ultrasonic devices will not be effective deterrents as they operate outside the best hearing range of Eastern Grey Kangaroos. If the kangaroos did respond to the device, additional questions would need to be answered. In particular, is the response sufficient to change behaviour permanently, or will the kangaroos habituate to the device?

is it just me, or can anyone else hear those things when they are on? It shits me no end when people have them on in town, it was really bad when i lived in wagga walking down the main street

[clutch-monkey]

You need ones of these or if that fails one that goes bang, we could start the UCP roo shooting club,

i'll check if my permit is still valid for roo culls
