surely you'd def get stickered for no high level break light? If you can get stickered for an oil leak

I had a mate who gave a cop shit after being pulled over for throwing his thickshake at a stop sign. He had an immaculate EH Holden and we were doing the disco pig in the back seat at night with the lights flashing behind us. The cop didn't like our attitude and we knew that he couldn't get canaried because like I said, the car was immaculate - completely rebuilt from the ground up and fully complied.

Anyway, because we pissed him off, the bastard labelled him for a dusty indicator globe.

They can do whatever they want, whenever they want and you can't do a thing about it. Complaining and lodging grievances with control bodies won't do shit because you have to prove intent.

You could have a fully complied vehicle with permits and they can say that they believe that you swapped the complied part for another and there is nothing that you can do.

It all comes down to the inspector. Again, some are complete and utter arseholes and some are really good blokes. I had great experience with one once (shit, that just sounded gay........) and he told me that if I had any more issues to go back to him.

So as far as getting a lickie for the brake light, it can happen. It just depends on the cop you get at the time. If you want to chance it, you can, and we all do every time we make a modification on our vehicle. It's just part of the game and the risk we take for the car we want to drive.

If it's obviously not working when they pull you over then they might sticker you for it, but if it isn't there at all then they probably won't even think about it. Worth the risk. My mate never had one but decided to put one in to go over the pits just in case. We used double sided sticky tape to tape a cheap $5 red light to the parcel shelf and no one asked a question.

Karl and Ryan, I was using my iPhone at 7am, it's hard to type when your half asleep! :D

Do 2 coats of clear then see how it goes. Of of needs more do another one.

As for the eye-level brake light, that looks really out of place. If I was you I'd remove it completely and put it back if you get stickered. A friend of mine has pasted the pits 3+ times without an eye level brake light on her 33.

umm what?

just because someone has "gotten away" with something, doesn't mean everyone will.

either tidy that one up, or buy a new one (can get some that don't look like a dirty great big box attached to the window), it's a lot easier to see when people are braking when the high level comes on, rather than a couple of circles getting a bit brighter.

Keep on topic or I am closing this thread.

No more I had a mate stories.

the advice has been given.

it is an ADR requirement for post 89 cars.

therefore he needs it.

Tidy it up and go from there.

      That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......

      You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...

      No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
