bixby Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 My friend rang me up just now saying that the cops are having some soft of defect stations for the imports from now on, especially during summer time on Anzac Highway and Greenhill Road. Have you guys heard anything about this? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141134-defect-stations/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Where did your friend hear that from? Rhere's defect stations as the weather warms up for years. Years back when I was in my teens from around 15-16 (~10years ago) they used to sit down both Hindley and Rundle street. Occasionally on Anzac highway near the tennis courts. Those were the days.. lol Hands up for those that remember the car park at the end of Anzac highway Glenelg.

vange Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 good old days... magic mountain carpark. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141134-defect-stations/#findComment-2628138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Not sure if we are talking about the same car park. Originally there was the car park right at the end of Anzac highway, like right at the end where the roundabout now is. That was shut down ~10years ago (1995-1996) and all there was left was magic mountain car park, which in comparison was gay. Every weekend the car park at the end of Anzac';s would fill with hoons, burnouts packs of cars leaving to run up anzac. Given a couple of hours which was strange considering it always happened and the cop shop was 100m away the police would come in shut down the car park and defect those left. Was quite interesting for a young lad just getting his license. I've attached a pic of where it was. See the blue square.

Howie Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I read the article your friend did too. Apparently it's part of the crackdown on crime in the bay, not sure what a defect station has to do with binge drinking hooligans on jetty road though. Anyhow, expect an increase police presence down that way when it heats up.

Howie Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I've got one, just decided to use the greddy t-timer because it's phat (i mean fatt) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141134-defect-stations/#findComment-2629402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozila Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 well being phat could get you in trouble which isnt worth it. thats why i took mine out when i got my alarm. other way is if you want to use the tt, just dont pull up the hand brake when you turn off your engine.

Howie Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Yeah that's a good point duc. I've just been hitting the tt kill switch, but it's something i should think about when i redo my console - was in the middle of relocating the gauges, tt, shift controllers, etc. On another noted... police can't go through your car without a warrant right? Or unless they see something that would warrant a search.

You still have no choice but to let them check out your ride man......

I can't imagine such a thing happening in this day and age.. I was surprised at times how long it took for the police to rock up; ppls would drop a bit of oil, washing detergent or what ever it was and burn out after burnout would occur as ppls left on those warm nights.

Snotballs Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 i originally had my tubro timer mounted on the panel under steering wheel, but was always shitting myself and taking it off when there was a breatho and yanked it off. I now mounted it in the little tray under stereo, and the plan is if someone checks my car to just turn it off and put my phone in front of it. if my phone gets moved i might be screwed, but my car looks stock from inside so i rekon my chances are good Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141134-defect-stations/#findComment-2630665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
