driving without a gearknob COULD be dangerous and there is no proof as to how many days you were driving without one and when you were getting a new one...

that's not in question however, what the issue here is the fact that they gave you a sticker for things you've already had inspected a few days beforehand and that's all on the paperwork you can provide...

if you take it to the pits and have the same guys inspect it they're going to think those officers were just arseholes, fight it man... just wait on your response...

also depends how many days you have leftover on your sticker, the last one i had i only had 8 days to rectify all my problems and i only JUST got it ready...

let us know what happens dude but i'm sure you would anyway

Im gonna have to go ahead and say that your not gonna get off.

Yes you did just get it inspected, but by driving while your car was unroadworthy (missing gearknob) you had to know that you'd get another canary if you were pulled over. I think its purely bad luck on your part.

Granted the fact that the new sticker contains things covered in the original one seems stupid, but the missing gear knob is a legitimate reason for a yellow.

Im not saying that its illigitimate, however it is not right.

The law is suppose to represent right and wrong (people often forget that) and this simply does not

I agree dude seriously, im in a similar situation.

Driving my car around with two quite bald tyres as i bought it like that. I have an appointment to get new tyres tomorrow arvo but if i get pulled over in the morning tomorrow I'll no doubt get a sticker.

The timing of when you got pulled over sucks but thems the breaks.

Don't listen to them!

Fight it all the way~ !!

F*cking cops.

If it was me, i would be doing the same as you.

Whether it was legitament to give you a yellow sticker for a gear knob is not really the question.

Its the fact that he just took of his yellow a few days ago! You would of thought they would of given him a break and just let him go. Especially in light he had his car broken into... which i would assume he filed a police report, so he would have proof there.

Some people are just real assh*les.

Anyway, i better start studying for my last exam for my BACHELOR DEGREE!! which is @ 1pm today.

ahhhhh.

f**king hope you win this over dude ...

f**king useless cops in Perth now-days hassling everyone on the road when real crimes (burgulary, violent acts etc) are happening everyday and there isnt a cop in sight.

Ive only ever had 1 yellow sticker from the cops ... but am hassled all the time... my yellow was for an OIL LEAK on my THERMOSTAT !!!

i attempted to explain that only red coolent goes through the thermostat.. and that the oil leak was infact dirt... INSTANT yellow sticker...

Good luck , and dont give up , cops need to learn to lay the f**k off us enthusiests

And while they seem to be bussy another one of my friends got a brick through his car windows just for shitz and giggles... his car was in murdoch at the time...

murdoch???

wth, i thought that place was safe.....!!

O sh!t

lol dude, give the Police Force a break, they divide into different units and i'm sure you know that, generally only Traffic Officers pull over cars unless you do something super stupid (for example, i have posted a thread up here once before, i got pulled over by TRG in their 4WD for doing 50km/h+) and there was nothing they could've done about it and they let me off... i gave a pretty good reason though...

anyway, what i'm saying is that if all the Police Officers were out catching robbers and stuff there would be none that would catch and yellow sticker 'hoons' and rightfully so ie. guys that do burnouts in suburban streets etc. and vice versa...

anyway, dude... fight it and see how you go, worth a shot man and you've got nothing to lose

P.S: i thought Murdoch was safe lol

If it all doesnt work out, wait till you have scrathes or something you need fixing at the front of ya car, sit up a coppers ass, wait till he brakes, then drive right into him... nothing better than seeing a cop car all ding'd up... and even better, they will have to pay for the damage...

Just an idea! :P

It needs to be the other way round.

Have the cop go up ur rear end of the car and he will have to pay :P

No, they'll do you for dangerous driving for braking heavily and you'll still have to pay.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
