hey man, go to midland if u can....ive been through 5 times and they have been really leniant, example, had my tints dark and they said it was a minimal mod so they let me through and asked me to get them removed....

they are good, compared to other places. Also all my mates have imports and they go there alot too and never have a fuss

There's nothing wrong with a corolla! They never die.....

How did this subject end up on corollas?

thank you! bcoz he was bagging mine out :verymad: u wait till 2morro night when i get my 13.5 sec down the 1/4 :)

anyways back on topic, welshpool are good, but like i was saying before it all depends on who you get

Once again, the guys at Midland pits have done the righty by me. Got the sticker off this morning and the inspector was very nice.. he even joked about seeing me next week because the cops like to pick on cars like mine, he on the other hand, said he quite enjoyed them and that they are nice cars. Top bloke :(

Already had permits for fmic, pod, full exhaust, adjustable suspension (coilovers, swaybars, camber/castor bushes) and bov. Also have an RB30DET in there.. so I would say far from stock :w00t:

haha dude just bite the bullet n take it over the pits man nothing bad will come of it trust me on that

they may give you a few more work order items they may even take some of the police officer's orders off!

but you gotta get it done dude!!

Yeah, or if your chasing permits you can wait a month to hear back if your application is accepted or not, then talk to an engineer who will tell you he is doing about 5-10 cars right now & won't be able to get to yours for a while. Then he can tell you once he's run the tests etc and that paperwork gets handed back to the DPI, it's another month or whatever to find out if that's accepted for final approval. /no lube

Anyone got a gun? Will pay for death.

easy tiger everything takes time yeah its slow at times but thats just the way it goes after all there is alot of people applying for permits, engineers going through 5-10 cars daily etc thats just the price you pay i guess for owning an import(modified vehicle) you need to be prepared to have these hiccups.It sucks thats for sure but at the end of the day its your car and you choose what you drive :P

Sounds like i should of taken the VL down to midland instead. I went to East Perth and i only passed it on the 4th time because they kept "finding" new shit wrong at each inspection.

There is this guy their ( i call him Himal) because he is an inspection Nazi ) and he wont pass anything. I saw him fail a few brand new cars ffs.

they aren't supposed to find new things wrong!

their job is for INSPECTION

to get EVERYTHING diagnosed, then RE-INSPECTED to check the work order

golly, they need to find these things in the first place unless it's major enviro / road safety issue ie oil leaks / broken steering boots / failing brakes etc

GOLLY GOSH

wuick thing about those mod permits, they take a long time, and as previously stated, the police and the DPI have NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER

so you can have all these stupid permits but if i police officer wants to defect your car he will permits or not

and if you have mods then you can get them over the pits regardless of mods or not

i don't even know why they have them i guess it's to keep some jobs in DPI but still the DPI don't care about them n neither do the police?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
