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 :cool: 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

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 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..

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

the thing that pissers me off ya get done for a boost gauge mounted on the a piller but ya can stick a bloody gps unit anywhere ya like and there 4 times the size .

dosent make sense to me

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

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.

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 :rofl: 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.

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.

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 :blush: do you think i would even try that jeez

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

i like!

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
