i saw a new holden wraped in vicroads stickers, whats up with them, do they have the right to pull you over ect..?

They only pull over trucks.

I would say the main cause for it is the commonwealth games around the corner in an attempt to get all the rubbish off the roads.

Sticking a yellow sticker on a car and getting their $165 out of you does nothing to get any cars off the road.

it does if you don't have the shit fixed in the couple of weeks they give you.

Funky we all know most roadworthy places laugh at anything cops put down on a canary and vicroads dont give 2 shits and dont even look at ur car when you go to clear it!!!

Been there done that with 2 different cars!!

Long as the vic government get their $165 fine payment is all they care about

lay low.. wait to the commonwealth games are on.. and take over the suburbs whilst the cops are busy :( free run...

Wouldn't suprise me its a move to scare people off before the commonwealth games. They did that sort of thing in Sydney as well when those games were on.

Yeah well there certainly around, saw quite a few people being busted in Preston today. Another big defect station is outside the Fawkner Cemetery On Sydney Road.

Its just getting to me that ive gotta worry about this shit when I drive my car. I keep my car legal yet you still get pulled over.

Thing is most of the time Im driving my Camry and Its not a problem. I dont want to get rid of my car. Might have to get a Japanese Import Camry :(

i didnt get a "badge of honour" (yellow defect sticker) on my windscreen.... and i didnt get a fine neither......

but i got a defect notice given to me....

should i have been given a yellow defect sticker???

depends if the "roadworthy" box is ticked. if its not than you dont need to get a RWC, just fix it urself and take it to Vicroads

    • The boot notch on the GK Tech rods is different to OEM yes. You'll find a solution. They are a good rod, I have used many of them for various setups, and no they are not ' just for drift cars', they are fine as an OEM replacement. Same goes for the tie rod ends although I found they transmitted a huge amount of NVH a normal balljoint masks, making it feel like there was something loose or knocking, even though there wasn't. If you used the same pieces on each side, no reason one angle should be different to the other side. Have you checked ride heights/measured the angles? Or just visual? Your alignment will be massively out of whack yes. Up to you; it is worth taking the time to learn wheel alignments and do it yourself. I have never had better wheel alignments and I haven't taken my car to a shop for, dunno...many many years. Spend a few hundred on equipment, do alot of research via online articles, youtube vids, and "trial and error" on setups. Eg, set it with too much toe-out, toe-in, too much or little caster, drive the same stretch of awesome twisty mountain road each time, learn how they feel and how the car's handling has reacted to your changes.
    • Won鈥檛 be hard to beat them. 馃ぃ Farken sponge cakes!
    • Nah I did not will have to another time. I only installed a blitz return flow FMIC probably 1000kms ago. When I took the old piping off there was basically no oil in piping. At this stage it has to be valve stem seals. When I roll down a big hill in gear and then throttle down the bottom, I get the same puff of smoke.
    • I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
