Has anyone here heard of this and if so, do u know any contact details.

sounds like a good deal

bit a revenue raising though but still will keep quite afew ppl on the road

extraordinary licenses are ok, i have had one, but you have to wait 6 weeks after its suspended to apply, and at that point if you have only lost your license for points you will only have 6 weeks left and then your not even guaranteed to get it, you also have to carry a log book filled out before hand of where u are going and why etc etc, i had to have someone appear in court from my work saying that it was needed for work, otherwise i dont think i would have got it.

:P

You use to just be able to write to the transport people, and the head fellas in there would approve/disapprove of it. I doubt that i would ever get a licence if it was up to the courts :|

And now you gotta wear "E" plates... before you never had to wear nothing :P just "P"s i think.... ?

I rang them yesterday and there is no such course in this state. I think that this course can be done in other states and there has been talk of it in this state but has not come into fruition.

Im sure if we put it to parliament that if we lose our license for 3 months, then that is 3 months where they are not making money from fines of us. they would probably then change the legislation. Greedy wankers

When i recently got done the cop told me how many points i had left (2) then handed me a 3 demerit point fine with a smile. It saddens me that these type of cops must have no social life or enjoyments in life that they must act like this.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
