In my travels the only time I've found an old bomb with a defect sticker on it, was a white sigma that looked to be owned by a fairly old bloke... Was at the police station, cranked over the engine... she fired up, and lots of white smoke just poured from the exhaust. Now thats what I call a dangerous car! First time I ever actually felt happy...

Most of the time I drive past and see a copper on the side of the road he has an import in front of him, only a few times has it been a Commodore.

What shitted me off was the joke they played at Mallala last major event there, with a defect station set up right at the end of the town. Now, tell me if thats not biased?

I get pissed off at the fact that I got done for being too low, when all I see are P.O.S pre 85' that smoke you out when you sit behind them... Annoys me when my car has perfect brakes, perfect handling, is better for the environment... but yet im the one with 2 canary's on my car. -_- Dont wanna scrape those poor speed humps!

Tis amazing seeing the council actually doing some road re-surfacing.

well what can we do hey boys and girls? but turn into a side street when we see the police :whistling:

Too suspicious lol... few mates have told me that they just sit next to the police and dont do anything. Yet, when Im driving.... normally, which I tend to do cos I love my car. :P Im targetted...

I turned down a sidestreet, granted that It WAS a shortcut to get to where I was goin... if only I had kept followin the police car in front of me and turned off another few hundred meters away I would of cleared the defect station. :D

And more to come...

At upcoming meetings myself, traffic Police from Elizabeth, Northern Traffic Enforcement Section along with traffic inspectors from Transport SA will be frequenting your events and the Drift Practice events to detect the offences as mentioned above along with blatant unroadworthy vehicles. I must admit that you organisation run excellent events

I wish you, your organisation, competitors and patrons a safe year of competition, that includes travelling to and from the circuit for ALL drift events. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this or other matters further. I am looking forward to the upcoming year and to participating in my role with ALL events being held at the Mallala Motor Sport circuit.

Found it browsing the mallala homepage:

I'm not sure when the blitz started, but I got hit two weeks ago, but I could tell the weeks leading up to the defect I had more cop attention than normal. Like I said in another post, they've got a quota and we're easy pickings.

Yeh the guy is a member on NS.com, seems like a good bloke!! Not his problem tools drive their overly defectable car out to the track and drift on track and drive home, they deserve a defect, there has been that much talk about cops out at Mallala defecting and so on, and people still drive out get defected AND still whinge about it!!

If you wanna have a "race car" then tow it out like any normal person, problem solvered!!

So the next weekly 100 defects will come from the drift prac this sunday..........

suprised no one has mentioned this....... they usually defect us more because we will spend money and turn over more money to get the car back on the road. We pay the guys at regency.

A piece of shit car will be thrown away without spending a cent if its defected. they know that.

you ever see a piece of shit in regency ?

i totaly agree with you about people driving their cars there ready for the track, but ive see peoples cars being defected while they were on the back of a tow truck and even inside of a tyer workshop getting new tyers and he was defected for the old ones being bold. there just not being fair to the people who are trying to do the right thing.

i also found it weird that after the quota for police to defect cars went up, regency inspection fee's went up aswell :D

i totaly agree with you about people driving their cars there ready for the track,

Last time I did a track day on the bike, I was driving back when all the 'drifters' were on their way in. So many cars driving (not towed) past with missing bumpers, intercoolers standing out like dogs balls, loud systems, existing damage ... and they wondered why they got picked on. :P I agree the cops should play fair, but don't go sulking when ya cars are inviting the cops to nab you.

I love old school. Last car I played with was a 1600. And plenty of 200Bs before then.

Here's a 200B I built with SR20DE motor with Supercharger running 8psi. Upgraded brakes all round, plus lotsa mods to make it all work. This car was f*cking awesome and I got plenty of laughs ... and she was Regency approved!!! Engineers Certificate and all.

There's a supercharged SR20DE hiding under there ... ;)

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
