  1. Too bad im defected for more things than a police station could clear, otherwise it would be worthwhile i guess now that im in the system im on the chopping block when i can get it back on the road as they know exactly what to look for again.
  2. Cheers for the info there, but to be safe i'll prob just put the stockers back on as they are just stored in the shed with plenty of tread
  3. Definitely doesnt hang down lower and the front bar is in one piece, they prob just like the sight of a defect notice with all the lines full :\
  4. Thanks
  5. Umm im not too sure how wide the rims are but they are 18" impuls, so very dishy and yeah they are very stretched lol. As far as i know the ride height is stock, but he wouldnt even try to prove me wrong. Definitely bailing when i think something is up, not worth the risk. Area was uhh prob say its woodcroft, just down from south gate plaza And he also told me anything changed from factory in the engine bay is illegal, probably just stirring me up
  6. Well to start this off i just went into mcdonalds (@2:05am) and saw a cop car waiting to get his food, im guessing they were waiting for someone to come in to get defected coz they didnt move for a long time and all they recieved through the window was a cheeseburger. I parked in the waiting bay and while waiting for my food a cop came over and told me to join him and his mates for a "chat" when ive collected my food. This should have been an immediate panic sign and i should have bailed. But eh, i drove around the corner and somehow there is now 3 cop cars parked and he just tells me to stop in the middle, not even park, and to open my bonnet. As soon as i got out he asks me "how many cones have you had tonight?" to which i reply i dont drink or do drugs fullstop and he gave me a wtf look. He then proceeds to tell me my engine bay is "highly modified" and then the party starts. this is how the defect notice reads "The following faults were found: Car lowered to far (no, i can spell but he cant) Rear wheel track outside limits (it only has like 235's on it, highly debatable) Air horn to be removed (i didnt argue this) Engine to have modifications removed : -eg Intercooler, air filter, wastegate Turbo timer to be removed Exhaust too loud. Defect category : Major Im not very good with things in the engine bay, and as they were all there when i purchased it i dont know the work behind it. I just need some people to clarify things with me before i waste time taking it to regency and getting knocked back! (this is the first defect ive had btw) Firstly i thought that it wasnt illegal in SA to have mods like cooler and pod, the pod is screwed down with a bracket and doesnt move at all and i also have a cover over it! Almost as covered as stock airbox. Secondly i have to remove the wastegate? This makes no sense to me as nothing has been touched regarding the turbo so how would you notice if its been modified? The original cop that was getting smart with me pointed to a blue tube going somewhere and told me thats the wastegate, kinda looked like a fuel line to me lol. Thirdly the turbo timer is attached to the alarm so is it not a very complex thing to get someone to remove it for my brief stay at hotel de regency? And lastly he just got me to start the car up while he was behind it and he knew within 1 second of hearing it that its "too loud". And the car being too low, he refused to take a tape measure out and didnt even tell me what legal ride height was then and there, i think they just tried to make it so its a hard yard to get my car on the road tbh. He didnt tick exhaust on the required repairs thing but i should probably check it out yeah? And he found the boost controller that i "accidently forgot the name for" but didnt write it on the sheet at all. Someone please help me with these as its my daily and i planned on getting rego today but it seems that i cant re register it now its defected. Bah i guess i'll have to wake up super early and walk to work :\ Thankyou for your time -Cameron
  7. Me after participating in a "beard off" with some mates lol
  8. If its the same one i saw the other week it took off like a rocket down panatalinga as i turned off into the carwash
  9. Soundwave is where its at, i'll be there for Alexisonfire and City and Colour ^_^
  10. Well i hope thats the case with mine
  11. I suppose i should call and book myself in seeing as ive paid haha, time is the biggest issue. I hope they dont have to keep the car overnight (as hillzy experienced) as its my daily
  12. Im in the same boat, not sure when i last got tattooed so possibly up for the cruise but wont be able to donate.
  13. Spotted a yellow 33 drive past bp on south road, exchanged waves but i was filling tyres with air so no other description i can think of ._. and a white 33 with gtr wing coming down panatalinga, hill side. Also 5ltreta?32 Driving out of maccas drivethru
  14. Very good thread, just read all 13 pages
  15. Rather than start a new thread, my uncle dropped the bleeder nut when flushing my radiator and it fell down into oblivion, any nuts in the engine bay you can transplant for it? Devo that it had to get lost on a friday night! No car ftl T_T
  16. Pretty sure it was a light blue colour, (maybe blue lightning or lighter) but nevertheless tailgating me as soon as i left was enough to stir me up. end rant.
  17. Pretty sure an undercover (or just an idiot) xr6t tried to provoke me to race about 10 mins ago, followed me out of bp pretty much tailing me as soon as i passed them from where they were parked, lost them in traffic thinking they were sus, then they lane weaved and had a rolling start from the lights and flew past me rediculously, i was getting to speed faster than normal but they were gaining on me like nothing. So if the new law is true then i was definitely being provoked. But thats jumping to conclusions, could just be a Ford lover.
  18. haha yeah, i was going to ask if it was you also but thought i would have sounded insane if it wasnt recognised you from the first cruise i went on. hope you got your stuff without any dramas, kids are so indecisive lol
  19. Will have mine in by today Steve, let you know the details in the arvo, cheers
  20. They came out pretty good by beating them with a mallet lol Little bit of damage on the front bar from their number plate screws (i think) but yeah pretty lucky Heh, feel free if you see me to have a chat, even though the standard look on my face is probably stand-off ish when im walking around aimlessly lol
  21. /wrist i jumped on it and got it pretty close to straight, mr mallet will have to do the rest tomorrow
  22. Well at work, sometime between 11-3 someone either reversed into the front of my car or used a foreign object to bend my numberplate on one side so it kinda closed. Peeved off that this happened and just wondering if a block of wood behind it and tapping it with a mallet would put it back to almost the original state. If anyone has put one back into shape then let me know lol. pic : By the looks of it, it got hit by the corner or a towbar, but it must have been a low car to only hit the plate! If it was someone using an object of some kind then i hope you get hit by a bus.

    #33, fresh ink?
  24. Spotted Matty-31 on hindley couple hours ago, may not have waved quick enough as it clicked who you were when i was at the back quarter haha, also saw heaps of skylines during the day
  25. Old people must be on the lookout to write-off skylines, i had an old man in a meteor stationwagon do the exact same thing on south road, had to slam the brakes on and swerve, poor tyres lol Sorry didnt take any notice, must have been from 5-6 as i was trying to hurry to work, was getting irritated from the traffic flow and the incident mentioned above ._. Spotted a white 33 with dragon vinyl/sticker's down the sides about 45mins ago, and also had a family looking magna with possibly a painted black bonnet & P-plates showing me loser victory by blasting past at about 110 on panatalinga, and get this, went through the traffic light with red light / speed camera on it.
