What The Heck?

[fcruz3r]

wonder if commodores get hassled as much as imports? ...notice this one every day on my way to work....straight pipe exhaust that roars and pops so loud it wakes the dead...and the car has been lowered by what I can only think are cut springs that even the stock 15inch wheels are tucking rubber...i say its cut springs coz u can see the car bobbing around on fairly even road.

lately ive actually seen alot of yellow stickers on worthy cars. bunky fiestas, holdens etc. It brings a smile to my face, unlike when i see a clean and awesome import stickered up.

Congrats on the outcome storm

Hanaldo how did you go about getting reimbursed?

I just went to the police station with the papers from my sticker as well as a note from the inspector at the pits backing up my story, told them i had been stickered by this officer and when i went to the pits the inspector had laughed at what was on there. I said i wanted to know why i had to pay almost $100 for a perfectly legal car to be inspected, when the policemen that yellowed me had claimed themselves experts. Kicked up a huge fuss about it and demanded to speak to the officers that had given me the sticker. Waited around for them to come back from duty, and then when i questioned the guy about it he admitted that he had been wrong and was not actually aware of what was defectable. He thought my HID ballasts were a NOS system just as an example of his 'expert knowledge'. Not too mention he questioned the factory "S" badge on the bonnet, and tried to tell me that either i had put the badge on myself which he claimed is illegal, or i had an aftermarket bonnet which is also illegal Intelligent man...

So anyway, after all this arguing they agreed i was correct, and a few weeks later cheque arrived in the mail Not really sure if the money was worth all the effort, but i was more after getting one over the traffic-bullies. Tell you what, a win felt good

P.S. Also congrats on the outcome Storm, always good to get justice

Prolly started talking about his RB30 lol j/k haha

Well considering I was getting it licensed with the 30.. yes we were lol

[syfon]

What you have done there Chris just proves that if you are willing to fight it, at the end of the day you will usually win due to the fact that you were doing nothing wrong and had a perfectly roadworthy car

yes. shame on those people who are too busy trying to make ends meet and not purposely going out of their way to break the law.

[ecentrix]

I was more getting at the fact that police are doing their jobs.

i think your being sarcastic (i hope) but ends will be harder to meet if you have an accident from crappy tyres and injure yourself and cannot work.

So, just to clarify... There's a nice inspector at Osbourne Park?

I've just had my third inspection for my sticker, and every time I've been, I've fixed my list up and they've decided that the previous inspector has made an error. Today I had some fat prick sit on my bonnet and jump up and down and claim that I didn't have any suspension. When I told him I could see it moving underneath him and (of course) I have suspension he just shrugged, wrote me another sticker, and said if I didn't have it off in two weeks I'd lose my number plates because I was forbidden any further extentions.....

Could seriously have cried hehe, next week will be my fourth attempt, after two sets of suspension and having adjusted one of them once.

^ Get your dad/mum to bring it down. Works a charm....

Did that with old R32 GTS4 - dad brought it down twice. 1st time stock suspension front right stuffed, replaced with full set of rock hard billsteins. Dad returned and same inspector passed him....

You had to get the front caster arm bushes replaced on your mum? Usually mums just go with a new rack
