Sorry to hear that mate.... Judging from the photos, I don't think your ride was caught for being too low. The blue boys were probably just trying to find some excuses to check out your beast!

Good luck with the Regency thingy.......

Bugger..

Unfortunately, by the looks of it your interior that is what got you pinched. :O

I've picked myself up a small extension from nengun that allows me to easily plug in and out the pfc h/c when needed.

No doubt it has saved my arse once.

DAMN Jase, thats a right royal kick in the C#&T now isn't it, just thinking of any parts you could borrow....... I have a Cat at home you could borrow for the exhaust, but you may as well just get a exhaust shop to put a baffle plate in for the small period!

I have stnd dump pipe and dump-cat pipe, and a stnd airbox and panel filter if you need to borrow them.

FYI: I keep my electronics LOCKED in the glovebox, and leave that key at home. :laugh: Plus I made sure my suspn was set at 360mm front and rear so they cant get me for too low or ground clearance issues. Oh, and I use plain looking R34 mags............... as the one thing I dont want is a trip to Regency.

Good luck.

thanks for the sympathy guys :laugh:

i feel like im the victim of government and media propaganda!

whilst he had me in the car park a moto flew past and a kid spun it up leaving the car park!

now if i were doing something wrong i would gladly accept this as punishment, but im gonna

have to deal with this making them happy..

yeah i diddnt have time to pull of the pfc and no doubt they would have found it as they serched

my whole interior including the glovebox!

do you think i need to change the wheels?

Remove the bleed valve. Wont pass. Front mount might be OK as long as its secure and doesn't protrude underneath the front bar. 2 way? Depends on the inspector. I'd add some Redline LSD additive to make it slip and thus quiet it down....

Talk about a bunch of pricks. Sorry to hear that mate.

I'd offer you spare parts but they're all still on the car.... Not many mods on mine yet, keep having to spend money on body work :laugh:.

I dunno about anyone else, but I think this is starting to get beyond the joke, something has to be done to stop these bastards in their tracks. We need cops that stop crime instead of discriminantely fleecing certain members of the public & making them out to be the crims instead.

Regency's become just another gold mine like speed cameras to fill the government coffers rather than keeping genuinely dangerous/unsafe vehicles off the road & it's just plain irresponsible that they're turning a blind eye to all the over polluting rust buckets on the road to make quick cash from vehicles they know will see the light of day again.

    • Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.
    • Thanks mate, yeah I've heard that alot and i am definitely regretting using the 25 Loom now, i have gone through and traced all the plugs from the 20loom and re wired them into the 25 loom, I have currently got Crank, Fuel and accessory's working, just need to finalise the loom and run the wire for the Ignition (Spark) and it should be running, will update if i have any luck.
    • Cheers lad, when I head over there I'll give it a shot.
    • Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.
    • Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
