Well again... the soarer has been defected...

-Tyres not complying with load ratings (it has the ceffy wheels on it until i get the tyres on the soarer wheels replaced as i got a puncture)

-Ground clearance (car has stock suspension but apparently the exhaust comes down too low)

-Exhaust (Too loud... had a chat with him tho about it and apparently i wont get an EPA notice cause its been tested before and they only test the soarers at 3200rpm unlike most other cars)

no fine... again... so thats cool.

i think this is the first major its had... but the 3rd canary

selling it anyway so i have to get a RWC regardless...

anyone want a loud defectable soarer? :P

funny thing was this guy had pulled me over before on nepean hwy because the front number plate was mounted to the left... he said he remembered and was glad to see i at least got that fixed up rofl

heh, just got pulled up then on kellets road in rowville, breath test, license check, and car check

'wheres the blow of valve'

me 'its pretty standard, standard blow of valves that aren't venting to atmosphere'

him 'trying to find tyre load rating placard in english on this thing'

another cop 'looks pretty low'

i just kept srugging saying i think its pretty standard (which it is kinda)...

he got the wheely thing out rolled it under my car, hits my mufler way to easy,

cops like no your about 20-25mm to low,

me 'really? i got it raised a month ago about 2 cm if not more since when i bought it, it was to low'

cop 'they raise it to legal height?'

me 'umm i guess not....'

they let me off - i have a pretty clean driving history maybe that helped... was nice to them and car is pretty standard, im thankful for that

my historys clean as well... minus one small fine about 2 years ago and the soarers std minus the exhaust, wheels and kit.

like what ash said... the dumb thing is (I HOPE UR READING THIS U TARDS) that the cops think they are puting us out and that fixing all this hassles us and that sooner or later we will stop modifying our far more l337 than their shitbox cars... WRONG! it takes all of one saturday and a few beers.... gives us something to do :rofl:

THANKS GUYS!

I was just waiting for something to happen driving my line last night. Especially after recent events.

Fortunately only saw one cop car, patroling local shopping centre carpark. They doubled back as i walked in to safeways, were gone when i returned.

Only pulled over once for 'random' stop this year.

Honestly i didn't notice what cars they were, there was more than 1, maybe 2-3? and they didn't pull me over directly, they had a couple of cars pulled over already, like at a booze bus, but there was no booz bus... were just normal cop cars as far as i can remember...

so sorry no heads up on what to look out for :rolleyes: it was about 9:30pm on wed night...

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
