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

your funeral

but they didnt get him for that...you're driving your car illegally as well..doesnt mean u dont have a right to contest bogus defects

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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
