i've only ever been breath tested in the ceffy, never actually pulled over... although its lots of fun pulling away from the breath test station and givin em a bit of turbo flutter and glance in the rear view mirror... you can almost hear em say "dammit we shoulda checked under the bonnet of that thing".

My old man got pulled over for losing traction around a corner in the ceffy though... lol they thought he was a teenager hooning around. They saw that he was 57 and told him to drive more carefully.

Had my Cefiro for over 1 year now. Drive it ever day to work. Live in Parramatta, Sydney defect city and never been pulled over. car is pretty low and loud. 4 doors for the win!

hehe... I live near parra too. never seen another ceffy in that part of town.

When I had the VX commo ex-cop car I used too get pulled over by the cops all the time checking it out to see if it was an ex-cop car, most just happy with the RBT and a chat I guess. Back when I first imported the sil in 2000 there wasnt many of them around and it was the only 2L K's about for donkeys years and coppers used too pull it over just to work out what the hell it was, just the usual RBT and the fact I'm not young probably helped along with not doing anything particually bogan-ish :P

The fact the 'yobbo' branding that imports where yet too receive probably helped a bit too.

About the only crap I ever got was recently when someone in a 'Black Sedan' was spotted doing 160km/h down a public road and I just happened too be in a 'black car' in the general area, that was genuinely unpleasent because they gave me an undeserved roasting, threats too follow me around and book me for so much as farting but no defect or EPA bullshit.

Young hwy patrol guys and girls are the worst, they slop em out barely able too shave, the nuts have barely dropped, full of beans, something to prove and just looking for an excuse too haul out.

Either that or they feed em angry pills at the station before sending them out... :(

It helps when youve actually got a family in the car

we often go for drives in the ceffy (the wife has a magna wagon) shes in the front and our 3 yr old daughter in the back with a big yellow baby on board sticker on the back window.

its sits on its arse, straight through exhaust no cat, front mount poking out through the chopped up standard front bar and the cops dont look twice after they see youve got kids inside

as mr burns would say eeeexcellent

I guess i try and avoid the centre of Parra. And i wouldn't be caught dead "cruising" up church street. My main route to get to work and back is o'connell street and victoria road.

The only other ceff i've seen in parra was a stock looking grey one. With an old guy driving it.

    • does anyone know tie rod torque setting and anti roll bar for r34? Is there a workshop which shows various components torque setting?
    • Hi    have purchased pair of eibach wheel spacer as I couldn’t fit set of wheels I bought for my car due to it catching caliper.   I know I need to cut the bolts on my discs so they sit flush with the nut supplied but the nut doesn’t sit all the way into the groove meaning wheel would not directly fit onto the spacer rather the nuts. Any thoughts?   See pic   https://ibb.co/VJK5w5G
    • Nah. There's not shit tonnes of pressure in there. Just drill with a 1.5mm drill or something equally tiny. When the drill goes all the way through thee gas will start to come out, but with such tiny path through the flutes of the drill bit, it won't be at all dangerous. You can be as paranoid as you like from then on. I'd just pull the drill out while keeping my face out of the line of fire. But then, I spend half my time looking into pressurised furnaces. So my risk acceptance is somewhat higher than most!
    • Been needing a new clutch for a while, but holding off because of life tingz and adulting. But... Being of Asian descent, I can't pass on a good sale, especially everyone else is selling it for $2k+ (JJR has it for $1799). Really on the fence on this one, because the unsprung version of this is $1281 via Shitbox (Sparesbox) and the sprung version is quite a bit more (no idea why Shitbox doesn't offer them). Ending up just sending it and getting the twin sprung organic. Mainly because I wanted the car to be nice to drive and didn't want to make it more of a shitbox than it already is.    
    • It was the pressure I was worried about. @GTSBoy does drilling them pose any problems?
