The Defected Thread...

[Krishy]

Psst... It was a lie... don't tell anyone

oh yeah thats right all the $$$ went to the christmas fund lol......i have been defect on "SUSPECTED SUSPENSION DAMAGE" hence why i get really pissed off when i hear that the police can do you for suspicion of carrying a defectable item.....i was running street dampers set at a legal height

[TALBO]

Something needs to be put in place for those that are unfairly defected because a cop got suspicious! Compensation for time and reimbursed any costs!

They couldnt find anything else so they did me on suspected suspension damage....i asked well if i had damaged suspension then how have i been driving on it without a problem.....to which the reply was well regency can deal with it now....i mean seriously WTF

[TALBO]

Frankly that's bullshit!

[Krishy]

i was there trying to argue my point to the officer in charge....but i had a bad feeling that he had made up his mind as he pulled me over to defect me....i was suprised as they could frankly just abuse their power....if you cannot find something defectable then let me go....dont slap on a canary for suspecting i have a defect....its like me (being a cop) taking u into custody for suspected robbery/murder/rape/whatever.....its not right....then how come they are allowed to defect vehicle on suspicion

took a ford escape thru today (6k ebay 2days ago lol)

was shittn myself as Id just got back from driving it back from melbourne and hadnt taken off the damaged stone guard, nor checked for any leaks/damages

went all over the car and gave it a thumbs up.

wow, thank christ thats over with. all rego'd now (was running on a vicroads unrego'd permit)

if it was a turbo import I reckon they woulda done it for worn bushes and whatnot, surely (98000kms)

[SXY_33]

I was gonna ask the officer what would happen if he defected me for having a BOV but he couldnt find one, but seeing as he let me go i didnt wanna push it. i would make he drive with me to regency and hav them look for one with him there lol

yeah a mate of mine bought a s15 from brissy and he went for his id check (check vin n engine number), which is all u need to register it here, but as soon as they saw it was an import made him do a full road worthy inspection, gave him shit for stuff like a loose battery clamp. the worst thing is u cant argue with them cos u have to go back there to get it cleared.

when i go tmy 34 from Vic 3 years ago, they checked all over her, but the only thing they picked on was the fact that the spare tyre didnt have 80km/h on it but then she was stock as a rock, but cause the spare tyre didnt have the km/h on it they started to make it very hard for my compliance guy

Just write it on with a black permanent marker, worked for me

[MissR34]

yeah i think they wrote on it with either black or white texta in the end...

[SkyHi_33]

the young guy working there is a champ too! had a quick chat about rollcages (i want one put in soon) and he was disappointed that there was no fun stuff for him to find ahahaha.

Its an "all motor NA" , it would be struggling to get over 80km/hr

Could always try what a guy did a few years back to a bank. If they find nothing wrong, send them an invoice for your time and inconvienience and any other cost involved.

lol suspicion of carrying a defectable item is good enough for them to send you to regency i mean like WTF is wrong with people.....yet the popo were going to spend some big $$ in educating the force personel as to how to identify a defectable item etc.....innocent till proven guilty...i think NOT

thats pretty crap how they can just 'suspect' things..

thats like saying "anyone with a stanly knife is most probably emo" or anyone with a internet connection "hacks into banks" or "anyone with a plane ticket is a terrorist" or even "anyone visiting the doctors most probably have swine flew"

hate it how people put everyone in the same boat.

incase of a crash and your car catches fire your car will still be running ? thats my 2 cents .. im not 100% sure though.

[SkyHi_33]

all good points and they're useless anyways. go back a few pages and read through the same discussion.
