Defects Coming Hard And Fast

[d_soljah]

ive had 2 yellow stickers in 3 weeks! the first time was by rta when they had that big thing on the freeway a few weeks back and then just the other day a cop decided he needed to hit the brakes on a main road, treck over the medium strip (concrete thing with bark and bush that devides the lanes) and pull me up for rbt ! i ripped into him about it but ah well. im gonna take it to get engineered in about 3 months from next week when i get my licence back..

turbo timers are illegal if you leave the car un-attended while its running

[Vince66au]

And don't whinge or call cops names when they do there job and bust you for illegal mods.

Dont want trouble, then leave your ride stock, otherwise- to bad so sad

what does ur car run mate.

[BezerkR32]

yeh thats correct. My missus was getting insurance quotes for her stagea and a few mobs would not insure it with one fitted.

Lol at the monkey asking where the cops are to book noisey cars when he got done too loud... Oh the ironing!!!

Before you ask, my car isn't legally modified, hence, I stick to the track only.

[JAS-25T]

Turbo timers themselves are not illegal. It is the intent to use it for what it's designed purpose is (leaving the car running while unattended) that is illegal.

So you can get done for leaving your car unattended while running, as you also can get done for having a turbo timer due to the intent to use it.

yeah I'm with alex on this one.. the cops did a huge favour in rectifying the image you portray of yourself, and also the general public in reducing burnt retinas.

Hi Guys,

its been a while since i got back on the forum.

My pride got defected approx a month ago.

I was just returning from work...no speeding nothin.

This low life nothing to do f*k*in cop decided to do a random breath test ( obviously to check my car )

Anyways..this f*ker didnt give me any warning at all....he layed out three fines for defects..

i didnt show any attitude ..but that as**hole didnt show any remorse.

This guys got nothing better to do i say...but to book people like us..

but this was only the beginning....Im not sure how many of you have heard of the DECC.

yes...i was given 14 days to clear my defect...had to run like a dog to get it done since i work from 9-5

Got that passed ..luckily...then i had to get a Noise, pod filter check etc etc,

I think there only a few DECC inspection stations...the closest to me was in granville..

Old real grumpy old man...did not try and help me..

didnt pass me...i had to changed my exhaust, my cat convertor to standard, my Filter to box... ( and not forgetting to put a snorkle on it as well ), my boost controller had to go as well...what shits me the most is...there are cars out there pissin smoke and dust...and bikes and cars with real loud noise...90db is fk all...which is the standard limit...

If they say 90DB is the legal limit ...then how does that justify cars and bikes that are louder.

whats your guys opinion to shit like this ?...Had to take this off my chest...all this has cost me 2000 plus.

Guys...u dont wana get defected for rubbish like this...but i will get my car back on road..

what use is a RB20Det without its parts...my car is back to stock standard now..but ive lost most of my hair from my head...

Isnt there anything we can do ?

I'm sure you're not an arsehole though

It's a repost, but it seems pretty apt here

On the engineer side of things, i have my FMIC and exaust done also have my pod in a box. i must say, it gives me great pleasure when i see mr po po read it, the look on there faces is priceless, i had one spend atleast 30min on my car in te hope to find something lol. i'm lucky my car was engineered when i bought it, but i would pay the money if it's wasn't, it does work. But the best thing you can do, is not be a co ck head don't drift,speed or race etc the police will know that you are not a rev head (by this i mean where you live). ive had my car for a yr, got pulled over 4 time within 2 weeks, booked once for "apparently" not stopping at a stop line lol. But once they realised my car was engineered have not been check since.

Money well spent i say

A police officer just needs to believe things are illegal and he sends you for an inspection with a list of specific things to check, it is then upto the blueslipper and engineer to pick up on other illegal items.

[SECURITY]

specific? i once got a defect that siad;

- exhaust

- pod filter

- ride height

- engine modifications (!!!!)

what the duck???

I'm not gonna pick on a certain yellow car which has had the pleasure of my naked body brushing up against its upholstery. So you're safe
