  1. Man you got fk'd in the bum by RTA

    I went in there failed once with my tie rods being modified

    Replaced those and I passed

    Mind you, my mods were, fuel press reg, eBoost2, FMIC, pod filter, and an atmospheric BOV

    CBF replying to everything relevant haha, so:

    They made me get them fitted and my report amended. Got the same guy doing the report to do the restraints. Coz he does everything to the book, he had to fabricate the mounts from scratch as the correct location falls inside the speakers (made a "bridge" to go over the speaker but under the mesh). Fabrication of the mounts, testing them to ensure they comply with structural requirements as per ADR, then amending my certificate came to ~$1045 or something. Absolute joke, but not like the kunts at DICKson gave me a choice.

    I mean, the pieces of shit were even kind enough to wait until I came back for my reinspection (outside of 30 days from first one) after having done an absolute buttload of f**king around and fixing shit up to get the certificate in the first place, before they failed me for child restraints missing as well as the window tint on my rear windows. Yeah, coz those things were totally roadworthy the first time they went over the vehicle and between inspections I decided to apply illegal tint and remove all traces of the mounts.

    f**k Dickson RTA inspection station, and f**k every piece of shit that works there.

    Do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING you can to avoid taking your car there, as well as avoiding getting an engineer's certificate for modifications. If I had my chance again, I would have cancelled the rego and found someone who'll do a dodgy roadworthy. Even if I had to pay them $500 to do it, I'd still be better off having avoided the ridiculous expenses I incurred as well as more stress than I ever want to deal with again.
