Yeah, it's all about being polite and showing them the due respect. I've been out in my car a few times (not me driving tho) and haven't been pulled up yet... mind you we haven't been doing anything dumb but still, no-ones tried to pull over the car to slap defect stickers on it :cheers:

yeah, he whats known as a co*k. ur gonna get them everywhere, its just crap when they get in the police force, they act as if they r police that they have so much to deal with and ur part of what they hate.

u just have to shrug it off and have faith the in general 90% or so of police are very nice and are doing they're best to protect us. thats what i think, the biggest reason poeple dont like the police is because of politicians, the cops dont make the rules, and in a lot of cases they hate enforcing stupid rules as much as we hate copping them. and they look bad becuase they are the ones that have to do us for pointless defects.

my 2c anyway.

yeah i had a bloke pull me up in braddon one friday night. i wasn't out with the rest of the hoons, just passing through to get some fuel and a feed. then on my way out, got pulled up and accused of spinning my wheels. it had been raining, but i'm sure i hadn't done anything. he then told me if i wanted to argue, we can go to the magistrates court on monday. i told him i wasn't arguing, i was just stating that i don't think i spun my wheels. then he went around my car, asking me stupid questions about what mods etc. asked if i had a bov, i told him i did, but that it passed the pits at dickson. then he shutup and let me go on my way. i think he just needed a power trip.

What do we all think of this???

I think ur all wusses for taking the easy way and going for an auto license :D :jk:

honestly though, if you're talking about where you come off the Monaro and go under the bridge on Canb Ave - I go thru there every day - and even in the wet or giving it a bit to make the green light, i've never come unstuck.

so i think you pretty much have to accept it, as well as the P-plate thing. The p-plate, you might have got away with another time, but hey.. he's seen you hang it loose around an intersection....

As for the auto->manual thing, I thought it just changed automatically?? Or do you have to actually go in and ask for it?

couldn't have said it better!

Ok...Ok, i did come around the corner a bit fast.. But im not saying that i didnt do anything bad... im just saying that their there when you just do one lil thing stupid... I mean, everyone does it every once in a while or more for some of us.. But they just had to be right there at that time...

BIGGEST thing about it, they were bastards and tried to get me for everything.

Yes. i accept it...

But there are some nice cops and some bad cops...

Its all got to do with luck...

i do stuff you shouldnt do 24/7 in a car and i get busted ah- well i cant do what i do now when i have kids a morgage or am way old so do it now... if you just cop it sweet sometimes the cops have a laugh with you (but you still get the fine-damn it)

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
