The Defected Thread...

[heslo]

Always the way J-Dawg, their bastards that way

[J - Rad]

Yeah Luke, I actually thought the guy was quite nice. Not until I got to a friends workshop to get the stuff fixed and him telling me they really can't fail you for the amount of wear in the bushes that I have.

Oh well, my first defect experience and I won't forget it. I think I won't be so nice next time I get pulled over, if they want to test and check f**king go for it.

[J - Rad]

Oh and another funny story.

Last night my girlfriends step-dad Aaron was doing night shift down at his work in Rosewater. He had a massive headache so he quickly rode down to the Liberty on the corner of Hanson Rd and Grand Junction Rd. On his way back to work he was pulled over. The officer checked his bike up and down asking questions about his HID headlights, his reply was " I only work night shifts so I'm always riding at night and this way I can be seen alot easier". Then they wanted his license (which he didn't have because he was just running down the road, lame excuse but still).

30 seconds later a blue VN goes flying past with a car full of Aboriginals and 2 police cars in chase. Aaron said "looks pretty serious hey mate?". The officer then said to him "I would help but I'm busy with you and they look like they got it under control". The officer then got a call to help with the chase and he told Aaron it was his lucky night and if he see's him again expect a defect for the single headlight.

^^^^^^^^^^^ when i was getting defected in my old 32 by a highway patrol, a vn wagon drove past us doing well over 60kmh. would have been 100+ easy just before the hill on south rd heading to flagstaff area.

i didnt say anything just watched the car go past, then noticed the cop looking at me and he said, "what?! you want me to give chace or something?!"

well since i was already defected and he's giving me attitude i said, "what?! isn't that your job?!"

i really didnt see why my stretched tyre's (235 on a 9.5") was more important then a yatch with wheels, speeding actully indangering peoples lives.

some cops need their head checked to find the real bad guys (note i said SOME cops. ive seen others that did their job really well)

EDIT as per request

[Krishy]

sorry to hear about your experience jarrad

i had triple defects before my car got cleared mate

they picked me for simple and really minor things

but thats what they do i guess

[Shmee33]

hey i got done for my battery in the boot cos its not vented from atmosphere or some crap???

does anyone know a way to get past it

[Damo_R34]

[CRoNic...]

hey i got done for my battery in the boot cos its not vented from atmosphere or some crap???

Was your battery sealed or a gel battery?

[Dori-Dori]

haha thats funny considering r33's come factory with battery in boot

its legal no matter what??

[heslo]

No, it's not legal no matter what, you need a sealed battery, if not it vents to cabin which could equal bad for the occupants

[Damo_R34]

and if he was defected, for arguments sake, EBC and battery, regency regardless of battery legality.

[Shmee33]

yeah its a series 1, it just didnt pass a roady. not cought by the police i said the wrong thing before sorry.

so i just only need a gel battery?

[Madaz]

if battery gasses vent to boot or cabin and then there is a spark then CABOOM

you need to emulate the factory battery which has a venting tube

[RB PWR]

havent been on here for a while but i see nothing has changed...sapol still has the tunnel vision goggles on. bad luck people hope you pass first time.

LEAVE OBVIOUSLY WELL MAINTAINTED CARS ON THE ROAD WHERE THEY BELONG.

6000k HIDs apparently look blue (as do white LED parkers)

cop shop clearance, but still they werent picked as HIDs. Apparently even though white is "the absence of colour" a normal halogen globe that appears with a yellowy tinge is "white"

i still lol

[Madaz]

awww that sux matty did you get a colour blind officer

[Matty 31]

awww that sux matty did you get a colour blind officer

i think so

fixing it up to be cleared friday morning

and after its cleared im making a complaint about the cop's attitude towards me

[heslo]

Cops know nothing but attitude when they are defecting... sad to hear Matty, should be easy fixed though

[sneaky1]

i found a great cop today. let me off with an offical warning about using my mob at lights and didnt even look at my daily even though its dumped.

+1 for good cops.
