Anyone know of/have access too - a weight bridge somewhere in Melb?

There used to be one in Tullamarine i used to use years ago at a logistics company outside thier gate but its no longer there so that kinda sucks.

So im looking for another (as are a few mates) so we can weigh our cars and find out the actual numbers :banana:

Lemme know!

Cheers :D

we have scales for our work commodore cup cars so you can find out the weight on all 4 corners. i'd have to ask the mech for permission though seeing as i'm not technically allowed to use the workshop (even though i do :banana:)

Try a local tip/waste transfer station - Not sure if it is free or not.....

or

you can fool them into saying you have rubbish to dump, you then have drive up onto the scales, peer over into the office and you will see the weight of your car. :banana:

I weigh my patrol at BP in Fitzgerald road in laverton. Cant do corners but can do axels!!

I go when its not busy, ask first and they dont charge me......or you can just drive on the weighbridge, go inside and look at the screen behind the cashiers head and it has the weights there!

Ash, there's one in Cheltenham/Moorabbin at the Metal recyclers... i don't think they charge from memory, but if they do it would be in the $5-$10 range.

It's opposite the street that Snowy works down...

Ahhhh found it, Highett metals

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
