COPYME, I agree completely. Are you sure this guy is on the level? I would have thought 99% of people would have raised hell if a copper took to their car with a stanley knife.

Pretty sure he gave little descriptions bout what happened, and he wouldn't have if he was having a tug.

if anyone, including a police force member touched my window tint, id be mailing their balls to them via australia post.

I believe a cop touching your window tint, especiailly with a stanley knife, is property damage, what would have happen if he had made a nice big scratch into the glass of the window...

My lawyers would have a field day with it! People need to know that just because they wear a badge does not make them god!

I know someone that can sympathise with Dean re: his Regency problems now.

My friend has a GTI-R which has now been defected three times. The car is pretty much stock except for it being too low.

The first two times he put the car back to standard height and went through Regency without a problem. Last week he went through Regency for the third time and they wouldn't pass his car saying that he had a bent chassis rail.

How could this damage go unnoticed the first two times the car went through Regency?

Who have they got working down there??!!

Thanks for the sympathy :D

It seems that this sort of behaviour is happening to alot of people. This sort of treatment is the reason i barely drive my car now. Why bother paying so much insurance for a car that hardly ever gets driven. It never goes near the city now. Only work and Uni. If things get worse, i will sell it. Its just too much of a headache.

It seems pretty obvious to me re the 'bent chassis rail'.... Regency staff didn't "miss" the bent chassis rail the first 2 times, rather they chose to find a tiny defect with it on the GTi-R's third trip through. Why did they do this? Because they decided the owner hadn't learnt his lesson the first two times. And before anyone asks... no, I don't agree with their (Regency)methods, but I can see why they're doing it.

I do totally agree, I think if you're silly enough to get your car defected three times then they're bound to pick on you.

It just seems silly to me that such an obvious defect was not picked up earlier. My point is just the inconsistencies in the way everything works. You get different people looking at the cars and different defects being pointed out each time.

They should all be looking for the same things and not overlooking obvious things such as a bent chassis rails.. Dean can vouch for this too, they didn't pick it up the first time, but second time around, there was the defect.

i read that thing about the gt4 celica and i read it like 5 times over. I dont know about u but to me it seems to me that jaustech and who ever else originally complianced or "plate swapped" the original car are dodgey. And i think what regency are asking to be done now is what should have been done years ago when it was complainced. I keep reading it and evey time i do it seems that there is something dody going on. I would like to see the car to see if the vin number on the GT4 chassis matches the VIN on the FWD plates because if they do **** i dont know what they have done.

ALso on that gtir where is the bent chassis real, if it is near the mounting points of the front sway bar that is a common location for the rail to bend and the crack, I had to have both my rails in mine plated and welded. U never know that this could have just developed as this does happen over time. It does it because the N14 chassis is just too weak for the heavy front end of the gtir motor.

Shannon and Matt, are you guys saying if you got your car defected you would return it to stock and leave it completely stock?

Anything on your car that isnt OEM may give rise to doubt and off to regency you go. Then again, I have been told stories of people being defected for stock BOVs - as, to quote the traffic cop I spoke to at Holden Hill - 'all BOVs are illegal, if your car has one, it will be defected'

The last time Dean got defected, as he points out, he was just going to the movies minding his own business, how does this make him 'silly enough to be defected'? His car has alot less mods than so many cars on the streets.

With the law the way it is, no one is immune.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
