your pretty much on the right track there damo

i think that if you do have everything engineered and then get picked on

then the inspection fee should be waived and you would therefore be compensated for your troubles

That happened to me some years ago. Two motorcycle cops defected my old 200B which had a few mods, but was engineered ground up. Cops went over the entire vehicle, but everything they had the problem with was on the certificate and was clearly done professionally. They argued I could have modified it further. I said "why would I when I've locked in the existing mods as being safe and meeting ADRs on the engineers certificate". They ended up doing me for tyres. The tyres were 95% new, but I had to go to Regency anyway :D

I drove to my local cop shop (Sturt) and got a senior cop out to check my car out and hear my complaint. After a bit of an argument over the phone to the Holden Hill station (where the motorcycle cops were based) he promptly removed the defect and didn't charge me for it. It was still an inconvenience tho.

Which is why I've been arguing that police need proper training on what is defectable and what is not ... and understand the true value an engineers certificate has.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
