I had the most brilliant of thoughts for the next time the officer pulls you over and stuff.

Just rip out a keyboard and a screen and talk to him that way. Its a sure winner.

Tell him about how your gonna have 300rwkw but you still want midrange, how your 19, a pro driver and all the other stuff you've come out with of late.

He'll soon be so scared off because of your ub3r l33tn3$$ that you wont be defected!

Thats like, the bestest idea i think.

On a serious note, have you even checked the ADR's before calling it wrong?

man thats some bad luck, as i stated before in the forums, when i had my 33 a cop gave me a defect for my battery being in the boot. When ever a cop pulls you over just agree with what they are saying, always tell the truth and walk away. I went to vicroads with the factory manual.They told me to go to the police station. I went there talked to the officer, the officer appologised to me and took it off. Good luck with the Vicroads

Why would you bother getting a roadworthy?

You've already said that the officer didn't tick the box stating that you needed a roadworthy or engineers certificate.

Do Vicroads have a record of the alleged defect?

If it's not on their system, what's the point in getting a roadworthy done?

Airbags are triggered by a number of sensors at the front, and sides of the vehicle.

I have worked with an airbag producer and they are calibrated EXACTLY for the layout of a vehicle AS IT LEAVES THE FACTORY.

If you add, say, a large chunk of aluminium to the front of the car, it is reasonable to assume that the frontal crash behaviour will be affected, and similarly the airbag deployment characteristics will be changed.

So, yes, the cop definitely has legs to stand on.

Do not assume that you are always (ever!) right, the officer is right in this situation.

i know removing safety features isnt the best idea but you could deploy/remove the airbag, then that wouldnt be an issue of getting eng certif. ect.. put an aftermarket steeering wheel on.. just a thought.. i would consider if i was in your shoes.

Airbag deploying mechanism's can't be very well set up then.. If the chunk of aluminium in question happens to be the radiator of the other car and not your own fmic you have to worry whether it will go off? Least my car is safe.. the crumple zone is whatever i hit.. hopefully a nice little korean car with a decent safety rating that will smoosh to diminish impact >_<

if your car came factory with an airbag you're not allowed to run an aftermarket steeringwheel..unless it has an airbag as well..which would defeat the purpose

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
