Sorry to hear that mate.... Judging from the photos, I don't think your ride was caught for being too low. The blue boys were probably just trying to find some excuses to check out your beast!

Good luck with the Regency thingy.......

Bugger..

Unfortunately, by the looks of it your interior that is what got you pinched.

I've picked myself up a small extension from nengun that allows me to easily plug in and out the pfc h/c when needed.

No doubt it has saved my arse once.

DAMN Jase, thats a right royal kick in the C#&T now isn't it, just thinking of any parts you could borrow....... I have a Cat at home you could borrow for the exhaust, but you may as well just get a exhaust shop to put a baffle plate in for the small period!

[Howie]

Damn, sure is a kick in the nutz. Getting you at a KFC drive through? Now that's a new low for them.

[Nozila]

i got a stock cat back system + stock air box + stock wheels.

[WogsRus]

why would you get defected for a PFC??? Maybe things are more leanient here in tas, but as long as it's a min 100mm of the ground and no more then 96dbA, your fine

[boostd_r32_gurl]

is the regency wait list really 1-2months at the moment?? Dayum..my cars been on defect for 6months now..and its a regency as well Deff suggest rehousing the PFC because they will check. And make sure u have no oil/fluid leaks anywhere, as they are natzi on that too

I have stnd dump pipe and dump-cat pipe, and a stnd airbox and panel filter if you need to borrow them.

FYI: I keep my electronics LOCKED in the glovebox, and leave that key at home. Plus I made sure my suspn was set at 360mm front and rear so they cant get me for too low or ground clearance issues. Oh, and I use plain looking R34 mags............... as the one thing I dont want is a trip to Regency.

Good luck.

thanks for the sympathy guys

i feel like im the victim of government and media propaganda!

whilst he had me in the car park a moto flew past and a kid spun it up leaving the car park!

now if i were doing something wrong i would gladly accept this as punishment, but im gonna

have to deal with this making them happy..

yeah i diddnt have time to pull of the pfc and no doubt they would have found it as they serched

my whole interior including the glovebox!

do you think i need to change the wheels?

[Busky2k]

WTF searching the glovebox. Man I feel for ya. If you guys got a lock on it, just say you don't have the key

How did they know you were too low? Did they measure it? And which KFC was this?

[r31turbo]

pity. it seems to be defect month/ half the reason i never put my front spoiler on is to look mure subtle... best of luck with it mate

[DriftR_33]

nah they just seen me going over the speed humps i guess.. it was down at christies across from the pig den.

also wondering about my coilovers, if they need to be changed.

thanks

[Richo]

sorry to hear that Jason, but yes the car doesnt look that low, bastards

[DriftR_33]

thanks mate.. you like the new wheels?

[Busky2k]

Yep coilovers won't pass regency unfortunately, no matter what the height.

[DriftR_33]

OMG.. does anybody have any stock schocks they can lend me?

what about bleed valve, front mount and 2-way?

Dude i think she'll need to be pretty much stock hey, It's unfortunate that they got you for those thing, BUT you'll really need to get it back to stock!

[Busky2k]

Remove the bleed valve. Wont pass. Front mount might be OK as long as its secure and doesn't protrude underneath the front bar. 2 way? Depends on the inspector. I'd add some Redline LSD additive to make it slip and thus quiet it down....

[J_Red33]

Talk about a bunch of pricks. Sorry to hear that mate.

I'd offer you spare parts but they're all still on the car.... Not many mods on mine yet, keep having to spend money on body work .

I dunno about anyone else, but I think this is starting to get beyond the joke, something has to be done to stop these bastards in their tracks. We need cops that stop crime instead of discriminantely fleecing certain members of the public & making them out to be the crims instead.

Regency's become just another gold mine like speed cameras to fill the government coffers rather than keeping genuinely dangerous/unsafe vehicles off the road & it's just plain irresponsible that they're turning a blind eye to all the over polluting rust buckets on the road to make quick cash from vehicles they know will see the light of day again.
