Fellas - an update!!!

Police are cracking it hard in the Richmond area... they were chasing my car down 2 streets but suddenly saw another sports car - WRX with a very very loud exhaust and thought they'll defect him instead... I moved on of course but looked back and saw the poor guy being questioned for things in his engine bay... defect on the way, I think... damn, not going there no more.

Guys, anywhere in VIC that you drive, it's highly likely you will be pulled over and defected for something, even if you just left your mechanics and there's a R/W certificate in your glovebox. Can you please keep this thread to notifications of actual defect station/booze bus setups (I'm only including booze buses caus of the risk of a defect there also).. including exact place and approx time you saw it ON the day.. a few days later isn't much help either, so not much point posting it.

That would be super helpful, cheers guys :(

  • 5 weeks later...

Location: Bundoora - Plenty Rd, heading North, before Settlement Rd, near Officeworks (not sure about South)

Time: 8:40pm Fri 3/8

Alternative Route: High St, Western Ring Rd, Waterdale Rd, back streets

Targeting: Alcohol & Drug testing, not sure about defects as they had just finished setting up the signs and buckets and had all disappeared.. best to avoid it just to be sure

Finish Time: had just setup so will be going til around 3am I'd say

  • 7 months later...

just got defected on Dalton Rd Epping after getting breatho'd.. cnuts.

Fortunately I'm a well spoken, polite female, so it could have been much worse but still.. don't really have the time for this sh1te atm!!

So anyway Dalton Rd near the Childs Rd roundabout.. they're around a corner so you don't see them til its too late.

6/3/08 9:30pm+

Edgars Rd and High st are both clear at present.

Bus set up the last few weeks both mid week and weekends:

North Road Caulfield South / North Brighton

Right near Nepean Hwy, opposite BP near Panasales.

Never seen defect's beeing handed out, but have seen a rather large littering of cars there the following morning a couple of bombs with yellow stickers on the windscreen.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
