i saw a new holden wraped in vicroads stickers, whats up with them, do they have the right to pull you over ect..?

They only pull over trucks.

I would say the main cause for it is the commonwealth games around the corner in an attempt to get all the rubbish off the roads.

Sticking a yellow sticker on a car and getting their $165 out of you does nothing to get any cars off the road.

Funky we all know most roadworthy places laugh at anything cops put down on a canary and vicroads dont give 2 shits and dont even look at ur car when you go to clear it!!!

Been there done that with 2 different cars!!

Long as the vic government get their $165 fine payment is all they care about

lay low.. wait to the commonwealth games are on.. and take over the suburbs whilst the cops are busy :( free run...

Wouldn't suprise me its a move to scare people off before the commonwealth games. They did that sort of thing in Sydney as well when those games were on.

Yeah well there certainly around, saw quite a few people being busted in Preston today. Another big defect station is outside the Fawkner Cemetery On Sydney Road.

Its just getting to me that ive gotta worry about this shit when I drive my car. I keep my car legal yet you still get pulled over.

Thing is most of the time Im driving my Camry and Its not a problem. I dont want to get rid of my car. Might have to get a Japanese Import Camry :(

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
