You dont have to go back onto your l's, you will be issued with a new licence but not a gold one if you held that before you lost it. Regarding points im 99% sure you will have the same amount of points on there as when you lost it. Your points come back 3 years from the offence date.

the last time I lost my lisence I'm suspended for 3 months and got to re-take both theory and practical test...I still have 12 points when I got suspended so not sure about the points

I'm in W.A so not sure how it works on the other side

when this happened - how did you actually get your license back ? do they just send it back to you in the post or someting? or do you gotta go get photograph and all that shit ?...

the cop said theyd send me something in the mail.... i wasnt really listening , he was being to much of a tool..

but yeah looks like i got the same as you did - although he said something about knocking me up for a couple of years , "the woman copper" said hes one of the nice cops on the road.. im like yeah say that to me again .

Did you get your license suspended or cancelled & confiscated on the spot?

If you were only suspended like I have been in the past, you will get a letter in the mail notifying you of when your licence will be suspended & how long until you can drive again. You still keep your existing licence, you just can't drive while suspended.

It will all be explained in the letter.

Tough luck dude :(

yeah this is the way I got suspended before, just a letter in the mail informing me that I am suspended from this date to that date. and after the suspension I could still drive.

no going to RTA or doing Ls again etc..

hope this helps

p/s-sorry to hear about your license..

all those who want to know - i called up the rta today .

iv just been suspended for 6 months . and lost all my points. so what happens is - iv just gotta go and get the photo done again before the date . only thing is i have no points until im on black license . so i cant slip up ever . otherwise 3 months straight away because i have no points . but when im on blacks i get the 6 back.

i still dont know why the cop took my license - they even said it was pointless .

can i have some ones honest opinion though - since im off for 6 months should i sell my car

?

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
