Krishy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 even though we had a bit of a discussion/argument of my front struts not having those clips that the brake lines bolt up to and saying that it needs to be bolted up....its standard r33 suspension...so the conclusion of it needs to be secured with a hose clamp was a good result for both of us....

Rocky88 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Booked my revisit for Thursday at 3:40. Gonna take it to the cop shop so I can atleast drive it. If I go down there with a hi-flow cat and its loud, will they defect me for it? Or will they just put it on the hoist and check off the stuff I failed for the first time? This baffle plate cannot be good for this car, its so slow the turbo barely spools. u mean this thursday (16th)?... coz my recheck's this thursday at 3:40 too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246921-the-defected-thread/page/37/#findComment-4529106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
J - Rad Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 u mean this thursday (16th)?... coz my recheck's this thursday at 3:40 too Yeah this Thursday I heard a little rumour from a good friend of my dad who used to work at Regency. Apparently a young driver went to Regency and he had a few little things wrong with his car but the inspector gave him the benefit of the doubt and passed him. Not long after he was in a car accident and his family is now taking Regency to court because they passed it when they shouldn't have. So I think now they are just failing for everything they find to cover the ass. If it is actually true that is.
