Defected

[gtrkiet]

what you get defected for luke? was it on your way through getting your i.d check?

Well on the way home from the Foo Fighters concert in Melbourne a few weeks back got defected on the way home by an asshole Vic cop for "bald tyres" however I explained to him that on the Friday (he did me on Sunday) I rang around for my tyres and they couldn't get me in till Monday. He didn't give a shit and did me. Hence to get the interstate defect lifed, full inspection. Cost an arm and a leg, made my ass so so sore but here I am at the other end finally!

sorry mate, but bald tyres are bald tyres, u should have got new tyres on before u let them become illegal, if u cant u shouldnt drive. u obviously dont realise how much shit is spilt to them on regular occasions, so they just cant take ur word for it. saying that, a full inspection for tyres is pretty stupid as its a minor defect, whats the deal with having to go full inspection because it was interstate?

[gtrkiet]

i thought when you get defected interstate it doesnt matter when your back in adelaide? my mates s2000 got defected here in adelaide and when he got back to sydney, defects from adelaide dont meen nothing. the people at cop shop in sydney just told him to rip of the defect sticker.

nisskid, the tyres were hardly bald, I agree that they were in need of changing, hence why I arranged for it but no where in the realm of illegal

keitz, apparently to get the rego changed from whatever state to SA, the defects must be lifted first... pile of shit I know but that's that....

[gtrkiet]

how gay! they just jelous you drive a faster car than theirs lol

[heslo]

Probably, the cop was on a headtrip as usual... Acted politely, respected him and did as he said, no point in getting mad at him but boy was I pissed when I got back in the car

[Krishy]

good to hear that your car is finally off defect Luke

[Madaz]

So its all in sa plates now... Nice now to get heslo back on

[heslo]

Yes it is great news!

No SA plates yet Steve, gonna do that in the next week or two but all the paperwork is cleared for it to go through... can't wait to see heslo back on it!

[Madaz]

[scandyflick]

UPDATE:

im back, after a long break. decided to keep the car, cant sell it on defect for 1 and 2, ppl that were going to buy it were offering me what i felt was bullshit just because it has a sticker on it.

The car needs the following done then im back on cruises (after regency)

Stock suspension

Stock exhaust

Stock turbo heat shield

Decent rubber

+and a nifty way to hide braided water and oil lines going to my turbo -ideas anyone?

above all i need time. working 70h a week is good for buying shit but its shit to get things done.

I'm also ordering a different intercooler that uses the stock return holes from the standard intercooler, hoping this will also add more to hide the turbo and things around that area.

then of course after that i can finally put all my performance shit on and get a tune, something that i been waiting for, for over a freaking year.

got work now, speak soon!.

Welcome back buddy but there's a defected sticky on top of the page, if you all could take any further defect discussion there, that would be great.
