Defects On The Rise

[typevu]

probably been covered, but fresh were talking about it the other night, they were saying some bloke is trying to bring in yearly inspections like in other states.

Was listening to Fresh the other night aswell... apparently statistics says unroadworthy cars make up only a small percentage of all accidents.

[scandyflick]

IF your car is modified and you are worried of getting defected you can get an engineers report that says it is safe and meets nec standards (after a few tests that support this, eg brake tests if extra kws etc). Price of report dep on how many mods it has...

and ive only ever once seen a cop say; "oh, its engineered and legal, youve done the right thing, i do apologise." and drive off, most dont give a shit, they'll still just defect you, hell, ive even seen regency inspectors shrug off an engineers report.

but unroadworthy cars are such are health hazard.

ive been behind some absolute shite boxes of cars at the lights, and when its time to go green, ive gotten a huge cloud of black shit thrown at me, plus the car goes soooooooo slow to get up to speed,then not do the speed. isnt that some sort of hazard in itself cause the car is going way too slow?

last night i went past a coppa, made a little noise, and she just looked and me...and kept looking at me but did nothing. what the f#$%!!!!!!!! ive had the car for 9 months this month and still havent been pulled over!!!!! isnt cause im a chick or something?

i know....its really gross.

they are the cars that should be taken off the road straight away, no going over regency etc.

and then it returns to money.

the people who own said shit boxes, either cant afford to maintain them, or are simply too lazy too.

(i maintain my shitbox as best i can, but its still a shitbox and i really cant be arsed spending 6x its value to make it 'roadworthy')

however, its assumed the people who own performance cars can afford to maintain them, which 9 out of 10 can and do, and therefore can pay for inspections and the like.

yeah it does come down to money. it shouldnt be assumed that because people who own perfromance cars can afford to maintain them. i can just afford it all, but i would rather make sure my car is on time with services and is well maintained and have no money than have a car that is not running right and more liking to breakdown on me and end up costing more $$$$$,

i guess you need to justify whether it would be worth spending 6x to make your car "roadworthy" personally i wouldnt be bothered cause i would rather sell it, and buy another car that is road worthy!! lol!!!!!!!

lol, its not worth it. ive already spent 4x its value just getting a few things in the front end fixed.

needed to be done though, unfortunately i cant get enough for it to get a new car, so money needs to be spent.

im looking at getting a small loan to cover the difference to get a roadworthy car, but it isnt looking good so far...

It could almost fall under a hoon activity....

From what I understand the hooning also covers a disturbance of peace - loud stereo's, tyre smoke, wheely tyre noise etc..

A smokey stinky exhaust also disturbs the peace..

Those who complain about old shit boxes is probably why Japan brought in their system. Roadworthy inspections for the cars, as well as increasing rego costs the older the car gets. It makes sure its not worth while having an old car on the road.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

we arent in japan tho are we. the place where most the cars in australia purchased are made.

The chances of being defected are much less with one. Its better to reduce your chance of being defected is it not?

Whenever I have been through regency with one, they acknowledge it (Admittedly Ive only been there 3 times with 3 different cars but thats 100% success rate for me). Some of the mods were as minor as wheels and as major as engine upgrades from n/a to turbo charged.

Same with defect stations. Its worth the money.

[kralster]

i never really got into astro boy, he kinda scared me a bit.

Im so sorry i made it non clear for u. I shall now re write it so u may understand.

Those living in "JAPAN" have the rules set out above i wrote to stop the streets having an older population of cars on the road to ensure a) cars are aways roadworthy, b) cars will always meet near new emission stds set.

clear enough fer ya post happy boy?

[kralster]

i hope they still make that shampoo i still like.

Im treating myself for vaginal thrush now, right here on the forum

[mid life crisis]

^ reminds me of the tampon add that used to say comes with it;s own applicator like is that a big brass drift and a sledge hammer to knock them in lol

[Pauly33GTS-t]

nah see u still dont grasp black32, and stop being so much on the defensive u little girl.

now listen, if all we had here were holdens and fords, we would have the same system as japan to make sure that the cars on our roads were all fairly up to date and people wouldnt be banging around in their 1984 holden astra hatch back.

but since we import cars from all over the place being on a big island and all with alot of wealthy people and demand for diversity despite not having the great population like alot of other nations out there, we drive all sorts of cars from all over the world.

do you see my point, because i saw straight through urs.

dont make this personal, keep the details about ur sandy disease-ridden vagina out of the thread please. it is quite vile.

[sinistaGTR]

why do you have to be careful about an exhaust leak that is inside a pipe? stop whoring the thread.

Um your car sounds like half the exhaust has fallen off due to your split pipe not being sealed properly at your turbo so you have a leak all the time...and let me see dumb ass my 2-3posts in this thread to your 5-10...think bout it

[Pauly33GTS-t]

dan, mmkay... ok dan.

not being sealed properly? all split dump pipes are made exactly like mine, they all have a degree of leakage i just chose not to use a gasket when i fitted my screamer. that is the difference.
