Hi everyone,

Been a while since I have been on the forums,

But unfortunately today I was stickered for my headunit. Yes, believe it or not but this is true.

I don't really want to go into the details but they overlooked some little things such as the cam gear cover on the front of the motor which has been removed (they didn't say anything about it). However, as I need to go over the pits, I am just trying to source a cam gear cover for an RB26, just in case it is required in order to pass.

Does anyone have one of these?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

i got yellowed also

need a 3 inch cat dudes to borrow , same deal , lemme know if you got one :D

Are you running standard brakes? if so would that pass?

Did anyone get done on Wanneroo road when there was that 'blitz' with all cars regos checked etc, apparantly about 120 (might have been 170) yellow stickers given out over 4 hours. I probably would have got one if I as going that way (was going in the opposite direction) as my exhaust is being held on by coathangers at the moment... (all getting fixed tomorrow)

What I heard today with yellow stickers (dont know if its true or not) but depending on the angle of the sticker depends on the severity of how badly the pit inspectors will rape you. For instance, a straight sticker says "This guy is alright, dont give him a hard time", a wonly angle is "Find as many faults on this wanker as possible" and upside down is a "Do not pass whatsoever."

I wonder how true this is, cos I've never heard of a cop putting a sticker on upside down.

it is true folks about the angle of the yellow sticker. If you cop one get your car home ASAP wet the sticker and make it straight.. Believe me it works

It used to be that if you gave the cop a bit of shit for giving you a sticker, they would put it horizontally on the windshield, which told the inspector at the pits to go right thru' your car and find everything possible for you to get fixed. Basically to give you a hard time.

Yeah, it was common to steam the sticker and set it vertically, that way the inspector was oblivious to the goings on at the time the sticker was issued.

Occasionally, we took a gamble and removed the sticker and hoped like hell that the cop didn't follow it up. You could be garanteed that the cop would follow it up if you had given him a hard time. These days, I'd say that everything is entered into the computers, so licensing will always know that yellows have been issued.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
