They could also be coming to a shopping centre car park near you this year as police strive for a higher strike rate. With backing from motoring groups and the Road Safety Advisory Council, SA Police plan to increase roadside vehicle inspections and make them more visible to the motoring public in the hope drivers "self-inspect" their cars and remedy any defects. South Australia has the oldest light vehicle fleet in the country – just over a million vehicles with an average age of 12 years. In 2002, 20,864 defect notices were issued and Assistant Police Commissioner (Operations Support Services) Graeme Barton said a similar number of vehicles were defected last year. The most common defects – and those most likely to contribute to a crash – are bald tyres, faulty brakes and lights, and exhaust smoke. "We'll be looking to examine how we can increase random inspections and implementing them in some way," Assistant Commissioner Barton said yesterday. "We've always had the capability to do this, however it has to be worked in with other operational matters." He said vehicle faults were only listed as the cause of about 3 per cent of crashes but were often contributors to crashes. "If someone has an accident, when they report it, they're not likely to say their brakes were faulty," he said. Assistant Commissioner Barton said major operations, such as Operation Safe Passage roadside stops on Sturt Highway, were another weapon in the battle to get those cars off the state's roads. "We will be trying to increase this type of thing also," he said. "We don't go into shopping centres at this stage as a taskforce, but it could be an option." RAA technical services manager Mark Borlace said the motoring organisation was "in general" supportive of increasing random vehicle inspections and making such inspections more visible to the motoring public. "The reality is that most people simply need prompting to address defects in their vehicles," he said. "Lights and tyres are the major defects that occur where people don't notice, and they are things that do contribute to accidents."

You can see the knob easies on the rear struts.....just get under the car and look up at the bottom of the strut. It should be as big as a 10cent piece, it has writing on the knob itselft (Soft - Hard)

Dampers can be adjusted by turning a knob that is located on the bottom of the strut, it should say on the strut which way to turn to make it harder or softer.

Yea, you need emission test done on all cars, all imports have an emission sticker on them when they get complied. Try calling an automotive engineer and asking them about this metter.

You won't get Teins to feel much softer then a plank of wood.......buy hey, you get 100% performance. At least you can take cornerns twice as fast with no body roll.
