Most specifically 31st March - but there is a defect station down Logan Rd, up near woolloongabba. 12:00pm

Up under the bridge as you go up the hill after the roundabout. Really ****ing stupid place for it, but that is cops for you. Seemed to be checking vehicles i assume for anything, licence check, RBT, etc and there was one VL that wasn't going anywhere. About 4 cop cars and total waste of resources yet again!

Anyhow.. also noticed similar down Hungry Jacks, down Springwood last night driving home. So think there is something going on.

Basically I think its a bacon offensive at the moment, so just be a bit careful where you go and things just for the next week or so. Seems end of the month time as this has just been last couple of days, but could be a bit longer term. Will see.

My friendly warning of the day :rofl:

Got some friends that work down at QLD Transport as im down there all the time and he showed me this thing there going to use. (THING IS HOIST LOL) They test you hight, test ur exh and suspeion while looking at ur tyres at the same time. Then they do the rest from the ground. and make sure you all have a compliance plate fitted as there briging in a new law that if it is not fited to the car then you have a risk of getting a $15,000 fine. Just like us when we dont have one fitted.

    • 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.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
