In my opinion you lot need to grow the f**k up, You drive an illegal car, then so be it...
I have NEVER had issues with the police, I have never had issues in my Stagea obviously, But in my old Datsun 1600, which was I dare say more illegal than your average import, I never had issues... if TMU is around, I found if I let them through in traffic etc, you get a thumbs up, not pulled over...
Datto was low/loud, built motor, adjustable everything etc, gauges, seats, wheels... the exhaust was a bloody joke, all it did was take out the drone, i used to live 400m from the cop shop, and you could hear me from there alot of the time...
All too often on forums you get people whinging after doing the wrong thing, You speed/drag/"drift" on the street, expect to cop shit. Man up and take it on the chin.(obviously if you are in something 4WD height and they say its too low, fight it, but half the time it appears that they defect you instead of fining you for other things, I RARELY see imports indicate for example, pretty sure that is fine and points)
/end rant
