if its the caulfield campus ur talkin about....yeah its damn nasty but they've recently fixed a metal ramp there so theres no problem anymore:D:D just watch out for the parkin inspectors...lol

Every day on the way to work I gotta drive at about 30k's an hour over this poor excuse for a road. I can't put on my r33 series 2 front lip on cos there would be nothing left of it when i got home. (its for sale)

Malvern: Corner of Glenferrie rd & princess highway on the in bound side. The tram tracks have turned it into a motorcross track!

Armadale: Corner of Orrong & princess hwy. (just at start of orrong)

Area: St. Albans -> Deer Park

Furlong Road - The whole road is full of pot holes, dips and one set of railway tracks.

Area: Laverton

Fitzgerald Road - This whole road is also full of pot holes and a set of train tracks.

Area: Laverton

Boundary Road - One of the worst roads around, lots of pot holes and patching due to lots of trucks. You can't do the 90km/h speed limit as it will trash the front of your car.

Area: Richmond

Street: Cremorne St (parallel to Punt between Swan and FWY)

Detail: Lets just say the Lada would have trouble here. The whole street is a 4WD test track. Is not only being resurfaced - but seems to be completely redone from scratch. It looks like an archalogical dig. AVOID AVOID.

At the lights turning left there is a massive pothole/missing section of Rd.

yeah I'm moving near there and with the coil overs I could really feel those bumps

Yeah its bad, my gf lives near there...

Area: Laverton

Fairban Road - Near Geelong Road the left lane is "split" that is the left side of the lane is a lot lower than the right. It will scrape the bottom of your car.

Area: Maribyrnong

Williamson Road - If you are going to Highpoint try to avoid this road. It is full of bumps and has a set of tram tracks that are like a rally jump.

I go over that hole everyday. Anyway i think they patched it yesterday or today. :O

Area: Sunshine

Hampshire Road - From Sunshine Road to the overpass the road is full of pot holes and is steep towards the gutter, you need a Hummer to drive down this road...

Agreed!

That part of hampshire road has been like that for at least 20 years - tightarse bloody council / govt :)

very soft around the edges that road.

Area: Balaclava / Caulfield

Hotham Street - between Dandenong road and Nepean hwy [long stretch] This road has lots of potholes, tram tracks and what I would call ski slopes at the edges, if your suspension is good you may enjoy it but if your ride height or front bar is low you may lose it. Its particularly bad at each side street. If you drive down this road you will know what I mean :)

When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
