pfffft illegally... EVERY car is illegal from factory as soon as you change the oil or refil the petrol. Dont let that scare you from going to court with it.

if it passed EPA after having nothing done to it then you should recoup your costs.

he is driving the car illegaly, it is very clear on the ruling for power to wieght. one would be quiet foolish to pursue this any further when you are knowingly breaking the law.

your funeral

IMO cops dont know shit

Its the only job out there where you dont need to know shit to do it!!!

Dont be affraid to take a cop to court and prove they dont know shit, I have done it and won and I know alot of others that also have.

Only way to stop no nothing cops doing the same thing to someone else again is to take them to court or atleast make their life a little harder by lodging a case with their senior officer etc so next time they will think twice before they book someone with bogus claims.

hmmmm sorry but im with paul on this one, if i was u id just pipe down and be thankful nothing else happned. although it may feel noble and slef satisfying to "fight back" in the long run it could have seriouis ramifications for u. previously i would have agreed with taking action but given what happned to Ruffls with his PTW im keener than ever to keep a low profile. like when i got my last canary. the guy got me on a few things that could easily b fixed (height = adjustable, tyres = replaced, bov = plumback came 2 days after dammit lol) and considering that he missed some of the things which would have caused more problems (4 starters the legality of my cars power 2 weight ratio). but thats just me, im a bit of a woos lol

I've taken the Police to court countless times.

It does not make you a target at all.

If you play by the book, they must aswell.

I've had defects for all sorts of stuff, and im yet to loose a defect court battle.

Others i might have lost, but not the defects as honestly, Victoria Police out on patrol simple do not know all the laws.

Its impossible. So they make it up as they go to suit the situation and "try thier luck"

again, comes back to the accountability scheme that needs to be employer so it stops this horrid abuse of power

cheers

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
