what determines the difference between major/minor?

or is it how they feel

Might be how they feel?

I got a major defect for being too low. The lowest point of my exhaust was 5mm off the required 100mm.

Had to get a RWC and spend $500 fixing shit up that other workshops reckon didn't need fixing....

Forever my car now will be a 4wd and I will not lower it...

From memory there is a box on the sheet where they mark it as minor or major and I think most officers will do major if there is a few items that need attention. When I got done for HID it was minor...assuming a sensible officer, major would only apply to things like a serious safety hazard or numerous engine modifications.

Cheers guys!

Yeah when my friend was taking out all the shit to get to the sparkies he kept on saying luckily I have this tool, otherwise if you did this yourself at home it would be a bitch for you to get 'x' screw out.

I get jelly when I hear my friend changes his spark plugs in his s15 in 5 mins.

You could change the spark plugs in my Calibra in 5 mins. East-west engine, with spark leads that just pull straight off the plugs...and there they are. Unscrew old, screw in the new.

I believe it is the third note.

Driven past any Highway patrol cars yet Aaron? :D

yep.

yesterday night.. didnt even look

3 days prior.. who actually put the window down and said "nice car.. good to see you not drive like a dickhead"

theres nothing to defect in my car now since i put a return flow intercooler in.. it wouldve been the only thing..

110mm high at the lowest point.

none of this HID stuff.

wheels sit flush with no poke..

i dont think engine shock braces are defective. or colour lol.

maybe exhaust is a little loud but that doesnt worry me. im changing that soon lol

that said.. i dont exactly expose myself. drive to work and back. sometimes, or to the missus house.. otherwise she drives her mobile.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
