Unlucky Day =[

[Krishy]

pillar mount gauges legal?

yeah right

thats what half of the people get defected on lol

[DAS KAMU]

Far out thats some badluck there bud!

and lol @ the MR2 incident... that would be funny as hell watching the officer's face open the front bonnet hmmmm no engine aye running on your hopes and dreams... DEFECT!

Lol's

he was not happy when i was trying to tell him

and hes like DONT GIVE ME EXCUSSES ! JUST OPEN THE BONNET!

I swear you could hear crickets in the background when he looked at my emergency spare a score magazine (features a more solid lady) and a roll of co axial cable in the bonnet hood whatever it is...

wasent any better when i popped the back open he looked even more confused with what he saw there lol! i was almost dying of the black laugh

[Carbon 34]

man now im freaking out, why are the cops in this town so bad? makes me wanna move to QLD or somewhere where the cops have better things to do.

bald tires, hmmmm agree with that but not the nonstop hassle in this town.

hope the car show drive up doesnt turn into defect frenzy

[Damo_R34]

Dont panic Troy, you'll only ever hear about the bad experiences.

[CRoNic...]

Damo I don't think there is such a thing as a good defect experience?

Unless your car has some massive engine conversion with a high mount turbo that's so huge and high mounted that you had to cut a hole in your bonnet to make it fit and you have 2 giant NOS tanks sitting in the passenger seat and you look like Vin Diesel... But the cop fails to notice all that and you only get a cop shop defect for bald tyres?

Oh but there was that one where the cop came back to the guys house and removed the defect because the cop got the defect wrong (he quoted the wrong ride height).

How was your gauges mounted? Was it the pillar cos i was under the impression they were made legal recently....

yeh the boost gauge was on the pillar.. the cop was just giving me a hard time the kent..

[Carbon 34]

hmmmm better ditch my boost gauge single pod even if it was installed by dealer when i bought the car...lol.. i was sitting next to cops yesterday and they looked my car up and down at light including boost gauge but drove off. not the first time but its going to be a only a matter of time before i get done. dont smoke anyway so i'll move it to the cig lighter area. so when i get my apexi i can hide it behind the ashtray next to it...lol

the best thing is the tv screen that pops out of dash, i hide it when they drive near me...stealth is best..lol

[mid life crisis]

Yep it's complete double standards.

But then, look at all the rusty buckets of shit going around, blowing loads of smoke, and the cops don't look twice.

GPS units are removable, though (suction capped)

Let's just put suction caps on boost gauges and stick them to the windscreen and have vaccum hoses running down haha

[Carbon 34]

oh dont forget the really old guys with the ten hats blocking there vision in the back window or the young girls with stuff animals lining the front and back windows.. or the cops with the huge laptop screen blocking there already poor vision....lol

and i bet if you look in every boot on the road you will find something loose in it.. not just sub boxes.. and you can be sure the cops have shit loose too.

its understandable you dont want something to fly and hit you, how about the wankers with 6x9 speakers loose in the back window....lol

or CD's flashing light in your face hanging from a string on the mirror..lol

dont get me started.... sorry...lol

what were the $200 and $150 fines for??

I have been defected 3 times and never got a fine for a defect?

It's discretionary. They can fine you if they want to but sometimes they'll just defect and not give you a fine as well.

Good reason to remain polite and composed even when an arsehole cop is bending you over.

[R334door(s2)]

mate that shit dont work cause all they do then is defect you under suspision you think your the first bloke to think of that

no i dont think im the first person to think of it no need to be a dick either i thought you would look to the humorous side to it obviously not do you think i would even try that jeez

think a little please.

sorry to say this but its his own fault driving on bald tyres and then its just plain bad luck to get pulled over bye another cop well i guess you have to put every thing back to stock and get it over with then re-install the parts again only real way around it.

hope you get it all sorted out it really does sux tho.

[madbung]

Luck? bad luck, good luck...I don't see how luck has anything to do with it, if all the defects were genuine then.....

Rules, you know them, we all know them... you play outside of them and get caught then think it's harsh?

Outlaw or not? you choose.

Luck? nothing to do with it.

[gtrkiet]

errrrr... i recon its luck LOL its ur luck if you bump into that comp on that day!! if u have goodluck than u wont bump into a cop and get defected! lol =D

That is one nicely presented engine bay Danai. Tough hardware, although very simple looking to a non-enthusiast

i like!
