Thanks for that usefull information mate, in regards to my situation, should i head down the to blokes station and basically tell him that its garbage and explain why? in the section on my defect notice for 'station' he wrote STTF, does that mean he actually doesn't have a station? perhaps i should write a letter to them

STTF i think are out of head office brisbane. they patrol all over qld.

There is an office at Boondal and they do travel all over the state.

If you send a letter to them this is what will happen.

They will read it, all have a good laugh and send one back to you saying "The ticket will still stand."

my car arrived 5 years ago with NO metal in the front bar area. What the heck are guys like me supposed to do?

Man i dislike coppers.. and those pencil heads who think they know ALL and make the rules which condemn us...

If the car is mod plated now, then it should stand down the track reguardless of the rules. it will have an engineers approval.

Thats what i'm gonna do.. Thanks for the heads up! See how it pans out.

Cheers

On my last car i pulled the front bumper rio out to fit the veftex front bar and intercooler, never got round to putting it back on but it got complied like that, it depends if they pick up on it when complying the car as it shouldnt be passed without it. STTF will still fine you no matter what the circumstances

lol you can sell teh car with the defect, aslong as you get a roady and transfer the car into his name, then it is cleared as far as i know, ask nismo_boy :P

btw- compliance for 32's did require a rear lamp unless under the 15yr rule, although some workshops have neglected to do this when complying cars among other things :(

Thats correct.

My car was under defect and required to be cleared at the police station. As I was selling/sold the car... I neglected to tell the new owner. I still got a dodgy RWC, transfered the car into the new owners name, and bingo cleared.

It's like when your car has been impounded for hooning, the current owner may have had the car impounded but once it changes names the slate is cleaned and you start fresh.

So you're saying if your car was impounded for hooning, all you need to do is change of ownership to your mate for instance and they'll release the car?????

I think Josh means, if your cars impounded and you sell it....the new owner starts fresh with that car...ie. next time that car is caught for a "hoon" offence it's the first time.

Otherwise I think he means you start fresh if you sell the car...but I would have thought they'd base the law on the amount of times the drivers been caught "hooning" not the car.

No.

Example:

I'm selling a car that had been impounded TWICE. One more time and they have it for keeps. You buy my car with a current RWC and transfer it into your name, you now legally own the car.

The amount of times the car has been impounded is now reset as it's owned by another person: EG, if you got done for hooning and the Police impounded your car although its technically the cars third time, it's only counted as it's first as its under new ownership, therefore it wont be taken for keeps.

They take the car the driver was being a hoon in.

bit of an issue if they take a car registered to someone else and confiscate it permanetly. For eg. I borrow your car, go down the shops, do a skid or something classified as "hooning" your car gets permanetly confiscated....would be very interesting!!

It would be interesting indeed if and when the matter went to court.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan 路 Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.

      This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
