They took TWO HOURS at regency for the "full inspection" ..They crow barred under my dash and found my hidden turbo timer. Now its broken. they checked everything possible.

They did me for lots of little things like Tie rod ends and bushes in the suspension. Leaky power steering boot. Just a little list of things that will piss you off (but lots) . The exhaust db was 91 when the legal limit is 90!! Im like.. seriously...

So yeah most of the stuff I have to fix is stuff I cant really borrow.

So I ring regency and they tell me 6-8 weeks wait "lovey".

They were really "cheeky" at regency saying things like "dont go borrowing parts this time either".

Grrr.. Wait till I become a regency inspection pleb!

haha My sister works there, maybe u can buy your way out. hehe

1 reason why i have an OLD SCHOOL car, pre emmisions etc. cause they cant do shit.

My compliance plate has like 3 ADR`s and that suits me fine. Sorta glad i dont have a Skyline for that reason, cop magnets, regency magnets, and if they wanna be picky u will never get your car on the road again, "Hint" So DONT smart mouth any one who works there. Also u better win the lottery so u can pay to fix all the defects.

Either way get the work done thats needed to pass inspection and give me a ring , msg, im sure i can get my sister to bump a car or put u in if some one else cancels.

The Joys of knowing ppl :]

Whatsisname , ive heard of brand new trucks straight off the production lines have been inspected and found to have 140 odd defects. They can get u for an over full ashtray if they want.

BTW Erica doing the suspension bushed and tie rod ends etc makes it a safer car and nicer ricer to drive. Go the Nolathane.

Between the cops and regency adelaide is just one big government harrassment extraveganza.

Remember in school when we learnt that if we are in trouble, to run to a police officer, yet, now that we are older, we have to avoid the cops?

I just want to know when the will start fighting real crime. And defecting cars that blow smoke and have holes in the panels from rust.

Maybe they want us to stop spending money on our cars and start taking and dealing drugs?

I just want to know what the **** do they want from us!

I don't take their golf clubs away from them and put a big sticker on there saying they can't use them?

accidents aren't cause by modified vehicles.

they are caused from the driver and there irresponsible driving.

i don't see mag wheels flying off and hitting other peoples cars?

    • 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?
