let me start by saying i hate the rta.

now that i have that out of the way i need your input. do i display my plates while i'm selling them and save on the storage fees or just fork out the cash and store them at the rta. it's not really about the money as i'm going to have to pay $50 to store them or pay $50 to change them to black and whites. i ordered yellows and i'm not about to display the yellows on my car as it looks wrong.

if i display them i can at least advertise them on the car but i'm not that keen to for some reason.

what would you do?

I would display them dude.... in black on white they'll be fairly inconspicuous (sp?) and may as well get them out there so people have a chance to see them which may help them in their decision to buy your plates or not.

Your Dragster.com.au and your Drags.com.au add selling them could EASILY be mis-read as NEVER DISPLAYED. That's the impression "not currently displayed" gives people.

I would however ALSO like them to be displayed on a big f'off dragster.

george, i dont know if youve checked, but you cant store them at the rta for $50

i tried to do the same with my custom plates, and you have to pay the $400 odd dollars whether you have them on your car or not, once you got them originally.

i didn't want to pay, so i handed mine in.

cheers, mark

if you want to store them at the rta you pay the $50 on top of the $400 but if you display them you only pay the $400. that's why i'm thinking of displaying them. plus, i can advertise them that way.

bit of a jip but at least it stops all the ppl that store plates simply for the purpose of selling them. it's hard enough finding a combination for custom plates so you can imagine how hard it would be if storage fees were only $50.

so when am i going to meet the beast?

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
