A colleague today returned to his car (in a public carpark) to find a defect notice under the windscreen wiper for a bald tyre.

Does this happen often? I've never heard of it before.

Blue moon type of thing. I've seen them do it, even placed a nice letter on my windscreen for having a good car. If they only knew how bad the commo was.

when i was in college the cops blocked off our car park and breathalised all the people as they went to leave (this was the day after the school formal so a lot of hungover people) and then checked the cars for defects. 18 year olds in old cars with part time jobs = a lot of defects.

i think #11 is a pearl. The compliance plate is wrong so remove the seat belt to achieve the safest result...

Genius...

lol... I had to do the exact same thing, and I had to go back over pits TWICE before they were happy that it was properly removed :)

when I was in college they sent down a cop to sit with a RADAR in the front stretch of carpark LOL! anyone who knows canberra college at Woden would know the front stretch I'm talking about... I dont think you could even hit 60kms there if you tried.

I have a feeling that the cop who pulled me over not long ago was training. He did not have proper highway patrol police car nor bike, he only had a notepad. Seemed fairly young and there were few questions that he should have asked, he didn't. (eg, why?)

I was right. Got my infringement notice today, a mail from AFP in my mailbox.... I got caution only. No fine. hew...

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
