Defected!!!

[Jay95R33]

Stocker - you don't have to be at your car for them to give you a defect.

Sure it would be harder for them cause they can't open the bonnet and can only go on from what they see from the outside.

In Canberra, since they got rid of the compolsorary rego checks each year, the RTA go around to shopping mall car parks and check car by car.

They either leave a note to say your car has been checked and is OK, or leave a note saying "off to the pits for a full inspection!!"

They only looked under the bonnet..

As I said I left the car running and turned the turbo timer off and hid it incase they asked me to turn it off and on again. I thought of that much...

OH well.. it didnt' cost anything and I've just got to report to them now with my "turbo whistle" and see what happens..

Straight back onto my car it goes

:burnout:

If it was me I would return it to the original condition.

Show the RTA

Get cleared..

Then fight the fine/points in court.

I would want to see a copper explain a "Turbo Whistle" and how it warrants a defect.

And where in the law it describes a "Turbo Whistle".

Is that what it say's on your Defect.

I would then make a claim of harassment. And ask to have all costs (inc time to go to the RTA) paid.

Let us know the day and we could all sit in the back of the court and whistle

[Guest MRE]

Oh and if anyone is pulled over in the Logan Area.

Just ask the offending copper how Dave Will's is.

In passing,he is head of logan Intel

I happen to have worked on his home computer.

Very nice guy for a copper, no offense.

The few times I have made mention of his name the tone of the copper changed

This may sound like a bit childish, but I'd get a regular whistle (you know the ones you blow into) and write on it "Turbo Whistle™" ..... take off your aftermarket BOV, reverting back to the stocker ... when you go over the pits, tell the guy your kid left his whistle in your engine bay, but you don't see how that's a defectable item. Hand him the whistle and see what he says

[Squizz]

How the hell is that a major defect?

[bucket]

What a wanker copper..

Should of punched him in the ****, pulled a skid and drove off.

[Zer0]

Should go to RTA and say you have no idea what to fix as you took it to a mechanic as well as checking with the place you bought the car from and none of them know what a "remote turbo whistle" is.

[bucket]

I think it actualy says "Remove Turbo Whistle"

[NismoGirl]

Yeah it says remove turbo whistle.

No one can believe taht I didn't get a fine. Or maybe he forgot to give it to me. Or maybe my dumb blonde impersenation(sp?) worked

I dont know but it's a good excuse for us to sell the Blitz, get rid of the standard one and put a decent plumb back on.

No more waaaaaaaaaah pssssssssssshting for me

[JiMb0]

I really think a good plumb back is the way to go, any ideas on what your looking at getting ? Turbosmart Type 3 Plumb Back mebbe ?

[NismoGirl]

Yeah. I think thats what andrew is thinking about. I suppose we better think about it soon. We've got exactly 12 days to do something

[JiMb0]

Pleeenty of time, atleast you got a nice piggy wiggy ...

[NismoGirl]

Piggy Wiggy??

I'm guessing you mean PIggy Bank??

Well we are actually selling the Blitz to someone to get the money for the plumb back

[JiMb0]

Hehehe, no piggy wiggy - cop He gave you a nice amount of time to get it rectified ..... though guess if he was nicer he wouldn't have defected you in teh first place ...

[NismoGirl]

Well that was the original plan. I walk to the car so maybe I won't get done over.

It would be nice if they actually had traffic inspectors that knew waht they were looking at and talking about.

[NismoGirl]

Well the BOV is off... And I have my date with death tomorrow afternoon.

I'll probably get there and they Transport Inspector will say

"... wtf is a turbo whistle?"

If he says that.. I'm gonng say.. I don't know.. SO can I go now?

I'll update you tomorrow. Maybe I should wear my name badge from work.

Now wouldn't that get me in some ****!

[Guest 570CK]

I think you have to go to your local cop shop. Not the transport department.

[NismoGirl]

Nah I rang DOT and asked questions and she said I had to present the car to either Zillmere, Bundall or Darra

I think I might choose darra..
