i have heard stories that they can sometimes be a little tighter becuase the know the cars not theirs and probably just a 18 year old getting their mum to put it over for them. I know this isnt you case but i guess only one way to find out :cheers:

+write them a letter telling them its your car and u have work bla bla bla and ur mum has to take it over and ur sorry u cant be there bla bla bla

could work, betta than posting up on a forum thiunking ur all good cuz ya dads gonna take it ova i guess

/me keeps running

It was failed on an "oil leak" and one of the boots had slipped off. So..that's being fixed up (again) and in another few days I go over again. Can someone come with me and hold my hand? I don't think I can handle rejection a third time.

i'm down the road, may be free if i can finish my thesis soon enough.

i know the rego inspection is a harrowing thing - my r33 was clean as a whistle but they still said it was too dirty near the engine number. they also didn't like my rims, said the car was too low and the spare tyre hadn't been marked "80kph only". i failed first time too!

they were pretty critical of my compliance workshop - they said, "your car should be able to pass first time straight from compliance. once the car's been through compliance you shouldn't have to do anything more to it. that's what compliance is". they advised me to call for a refund because clearly the workshop hadn't done their job.

that said, they were really helpful the next time through. turns out the area around my engine number is heavily scoured but about six of them gathered 'round with torches having a good look...."ah, the next letter could be a Q? or maybe an O? or a zero?".

edit: meant to add, a good attitude will do wonders. :P

In my and many other peoples opinion, he doesnt know what he is on about. He is apparently an Ex-public Servant who has read a few books and done a course or two. Supposedly he has never spent a day in the trade. I have spoken to many people who have had him inspect/pass their cars and they have been pinged at Rego. You will be back over the pits again. Dont sign or even fill out any papers he gives you or anything like that. Go see Ray Spencer at Canberra Motor Works.

I have passed.

It's a strange feeling having registration.  I still look over my shoulder everytime I take her out though....

It should feel good,not expecting a tap on the shoulder when you take it out....errr....

Anyway,congrats on getting the mighty VR4 legally on the road!

    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW

    • Yeah it will surely need a diode to stop the headlight turning on when the indicator does, I'm pretty sure all it would need is a wire from the headlight parker wire (via a diode) to the indicator 12v. Assuming you also convert to LED that is....I'm not sure if the standard wiring will take the load of the extra indicator globes if they are incandescent
