The Defected Thread...

[Krishy]

how did u go m8? ...i failed

ride height was apparently too low even tho its stock and i passed with exactly same suspension setup 2 months ago... then apparently blue globes are illegal - wtf... and a little piece of rubber that goes onto engine mount had a small crack on it...

i know i shouldnt, but i lost my temper and told the guy that it all bs... he also wanted to defect me for not having all 4 screws in my front number plate, but i got so pissed off at him that he asked for second opinion and eventually let it go...

i swear regency is fkn tough now...

sorry mate, didnt have much time to talk to u there... i was late coz i got locked in my own backyard lol

Yeah i passed but second time through mate....it was good to at least say hello i guess...I had to change my rear left strut, tie rod end boots, and get the brake lines secured with a hose clamp....so i took a quick trip to Sinergy....the guys there are top blokes....they were flat out and still were able to help me with a rear left strut and fix all the other shit...so back to regency i went and presto they rechecked it and i passed....the guys that i had at regency were very nice and answered all my questions to clear things up a bit for me etc etc...they did tell me about your situation Rok....and yes they do read these forums boys n girls

yeah, the two guys that did ur car are good blokes... i know almost all regency people lol... i was unlucky enough to get that old geezer...

[Krishy]

even though we had a bit of a discussion/argument of my front struts not having those clips that the brake lines bolt up to and saying that it needs to be bolted up....its standard r33 suspension...so the conclusion of it needs to be secured with a hose clamp was a good result for both of us....

[SkyHi_33]

well done getting off defect!

and damn, whats with all these bad stories? the two different guys I've had were absolute champs!

guess its my tall and charming appearance that works every time??

Booked my revisit for Thursday at 3:40. Gonna take it to the cop shop so I can atleast drive it. If I go down there with a hi-flow cat and its loud, will they defect me for it? Or will they just put it on the hoist and check off the stuff I failed for the first time? This baffle plate cannot be good for this car, its so slow the turbo barely spools.

u mean this thursday (16th)?... coz my recheck's this thursday at 3:40 too

Yeah this Thursday

I heard a little rumour from a good friend of my dad who used to work at Regency. Apparently a young driver went to Regency and he had a few little things wrong with his car but the inspector gave him the benefit of the doubt and passed him. Not long after he was in a car accident and his family is now taking Regency to court because they passed it when they shouldn't have. So I think now they are just failing for everything they find to cover the ass.

If it is actually true that is.

[Rocky88]

Yeah this Thursday

haha, no way can i get the red hoist? coz it's slightly easier to get on to than the yellow one.

[Krishy]

the yellow one and the red one are both same Rok

lol your car might have been sitting too low lol....didnt have a problem with getting my barge on there

[Rocky88]

the yellow one and the red one are both same Rok

lol your car might have been sitting too low lol....didnt have a problem with getting my barge on there

they are almost exactly same, but i've been on both and i think red one is slightly less steep to get on it... i always hit my front bar on yellow one had no problems getting on red one. but it wont matter much next thursday coz im putting stock springs on lol

According to the guy that was inspecting your car...that if your ride height was fine then he might have let you off on that one

when i took mine in last year i only had to drive over the pit where the trucks usually go, no ramps

Yeap i have been on both....hoist and pit bays

depends on the day really as to what you get....

[nisskid]

i wanna punch something in the face.

[Damo_R34]

[J - Rad]
