My Tune Results

Not simple, your entire car must be legal and in a safe roadworthy condition to get the cert - I got knocked back for being 10mm too low (not ride height), sloppy diff mount, dodgy wheel balancing weights, and exhaust volume.

And if they do then go get a cert simple

You make it sound so simple, but I bet it's a lot harder in practice to get a cert

Edit:just saw troys post, sounds like a real bitch to do!

Yeah but your going to go go through the same process if you get the cert now or after you get defected am I right?

[Trozzle]

True

[Mitcho_7]

I guess its something to prepare for once everything is done to the extent that your happy with it and not looking to make any more major changes.

My problem with getting an engineers certificate before your booked is it means nothing when you are pulled over.

Even if I I got booked, got the certificate, cleared the defects then the very next day an officer goes I dont like that - go straight to the pits.

The cert may help with the bits engineered.

But whos to say it hasnt changed and needs another certificate.

Plus they do the LOT again.

I say make a run for it......nah not really.

its more of a bitch if you have to go and get full emissions testing on top, which i had to do.

also gets your cert over 2k and requires trips to sydney for testing.

Ultimately I could still get pulled up for exhaust being too loud, atmo BOV, HID headlights, and potentially (though unlikely) rear window tint.

Plus the cop could defect you on whatever he wanted, you just wouldn't have a problem getting the defect retracted once you got to Dickson if it was issued in error (engineer's cert or just wrong).

That being said, like I said above - I've never had any problems with ACT police. In my experience, they've always been very easy going guys. Probably because I'm so goddamn polite and well mannered, even when I'm pulled up for speeding I just get a warning. They've never even looked twice at my car let alone questioned it.

When I got pulled over and given a warning for doing 90 in an 80 zone (damn parkes way and it's speed changes) the cop was reasonably nice about it I guess but I wasnt trying to get into a confrontation with him about it either.

I suppose as long as you don't give them a reason to pull you over with crazy driving then you should be pretty right in terms of getting defected.

[Trozzle]

Yeah exactly, common courtesy is your best friend in life

[DJBarnstar]

Yeah I think even a decent set of coilovers will bring it close to what I need with some fresh bushes

It's pretty scary to be honest I haven't unleashed its full power gain as its just to jumpy and bumpy.

Also with my 4x4 status it's got a lot of roll haha

Pfft dont worry too much im running a little more power and stock suspension and drivetrain and it handled wakefield on the weekend fine And was in the fastest group all day. Even gave ur tuner a good run! Besides not scraping on every speed hump is awesome. The stock suspension is pretty good in these things. Enjoy the new power.

If I had decent stock suspension I would have to probably agree.

But my one is shot to shit haha.
