i've only ever been breath tested in the ceffy, never actually pulled over... although its lots of fun pulling away from the breath test station and givin em a bit of turbo flutter and glance in the rear view mirror... you can almost hear em say "dammit we shoulda checked under the bonnet of that thing".

My old man got pulled over for losing traction around a corner in the ceffy though... lol they thought he was a teenager hooning around. They saw that he was 57 and told him to drive more carefully.

Had my Cefiro for over 1 year now. Drive it ever day to work. Live in Parramatta, Sydney defect city and never been pulled over. car is pretty low and loud. 4 doors for the win!

hehe... I live near parra too. never seen another ceffy in that part of town.

When I had the VX commo ex-cop car I used too get pulled over by the cops all the time checking it out to see if it was an ex-cop car, most just happy with the RBT and a chat I guess. Back when I first imported the sil in 2000 there wasnt many of them around and it was the only 2L K's about for donkeys years and coppers used too pull it over just to work out what the hell it was, just the usual RBT and the fact I'm not young probably helped along with not doing anything particually bogan-ish :P

The fact the 'yobbo' branding that imports where yet too receive probably helped a bit too.

About the only crap I ever got was recently when someone in a 'Black Sedan' was spotted doing 160km/h down a public road and I just happened too be in a 'black car' in the general area, that was genuinely unpleasent because they gave me an undeserved roasting, threats too follow me around and book me for so much as farting but no defect or EPA bullshit.

Young hwy patrol guys and girls are the worst, they slop em out barely able too shave, the nuts have barely dropped, full of beans, something to prove and just looking for an excuse too haul out.

Either that or they feed em angry pills at the station before sending them out... :(

It helps when youve actually got a family in the car

we often go for drives in the ceffy (the wife has a magna wagon) shes in the front and our 3 yr old daughter in the back with a big yellow baby on board sticker on the back window.

its sits on its arse, straight through exhaust no cat, front mount poking out through the chopped up standard front bar and the cops dont look twice after they see youve got kids inside

as mr burns would say eeeexcellent

I guess i try and avoid the centre of Parra. And i wouldn't be caught dead "cruising" up church street. My main route to get to work and back is o'connell street and victoria road.

The only other ceff i've seen in parra was a stock looking grey one. With an old guy driving it.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
