Whats the deal with the cops looking in the passanger door for 10 mins pulling out your door trim etc when they pull you over :S!

The passenger side is where the ECU is, if they are there they'll be looking around for an aftermarket ECU.

honestly i wouldn't be putting my child in a seat with a restraint that's been riveted in.

get it done properly it should be welded in

The restraints are bolted , but they must be captive, hence the pot rivet.

You will find the majority of them are installed this way, and defiantly anything that came in under the 15 year old rule.

Make sure you check all the things meant to be done for compliance have actually been done, eg in my case no rear eye level light and child seat anchor points.

The other things that you might think they won't notice (but they will) are ball joints, wheel bearings and bushes in odd places, even bolts missing from dump pipe, exhaust flanges etc will be checked.

Check that your front demister works, washers and water in the washer bottle. 80kph written on the spare wheel, no tears or metal showing through the seats.

Apart from this everything else that is obvious like completely 100% stock motor fuel and turbo wise, induction mods like pod (if mounted) intercooler are fine but not turbos. All emissions gear needs to be in place as well.

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
