Wheel clamps are definitely a problem now, but as mentioned above, it's nothing an angle grinder can't fix :) I'm sure a few of us would be willing to pitch in if someone were stuck.

I think most of us have had bad experiences with parking inspectors around the CBD and northbridge. Driving our cars will nearly always attract the inspector with even more of an attitude.

I recently had an issue in perth where I had parked in a 15min spot on king street and the a**hole began screaming abuse (progressively getting louder) at me once he saw me unlock my car and then continued printing his ticket. I didn't bother giving him the satisfaction of an argument, I just jumped in and drove off and never ended up receiving any mail regarding the issue or being reminded for payment of any kind/amount by fines enforcement.

The fact is nearly all of these guys are so depressed with their own lives working a shitty job they hate because they have no f*cking direction in life or the inclination to do anything worthwhile with their time, they find the need to inconvenience people with real lives and jobs :)

:werd: :werd:

If i could get the smiley "werd" to work i would have put it here Jengus... well said, of pure boredom in their general job when someone is out of line they reallly snap at them even for being 5 mins overparked...

i guess if you picture yourself being a garbage cleaner.... if someone threw litter down on the ground you would want to rip their head off! i guess it relates to job specificity...... just petty things can set them off in their boring job.

thing is u dont want your wheels clamped  

im not sure why they put a fine on some cars and clamp others in the same carpark maybe they run out of wheel clamps or they put the fine on and clamp you later?

When u get a fine initially they take your rego, and when they go round checking cars, if they have taken your rego previously, and you have fines outstanding, they clamp you.

Apparently people have been trying to shut down the clamping through legal means with no success (i think they have some influential people connected to them), especially seeing that similar attempts in the east have been successfull in the eastern states...

Umm nothing can really be done if it's in a private car park, that is it just costs to bloody much for them to enforce it.

There is the wheel clamping thing. Now to get around this you cut the padlock off and REPLACE it. No criminal damages done.

If anyone can find a precedent for this in WA I'd love to hear it.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
