Depends where exactly it exits, it is able to exit before the rear wheels aslong as there is no openable windows or doors above it. Or something like that.

Defect: Minor Car: vl sl Date: today Time: 1:30 Place: glenelg Type of Cop: motor bike Defected for: woodgrain steering wheel

Bad luck mate, was it a defect station or just random pulling over?

Random cop on a bike ill probebly get it off tomorrow no big deal lol serves me right though got a warning for it on my vh and still put it on

Why is a good grain steering wheel defectable?

Coz they shatter/splinter and pierce your chest cavity or skull in an accident....

Does that apply to cars that have them fitted standard? The mighty mazda has a factory wooden steering wheel.... It's worth more than the car. Should sell it to the rotor-heads.

Car looks familiar

which one?

Who engineered the 18s and at what cost?

Not cheap. Adelaide Radial Tyres for $420 prob cheaper if you shop around worth it in the long end you get to shove a engineers report in the cops face when he tries to defect you for em

can u basically go there with any 18s and they will engineer them? or are there supporting mods that need to be done?

The Purple Aero

bascially they take the rear springs out and if it doesn't foul the body or your car isn't overly low at the front then they will pass it no probs. Obviously you need to roll your rear guards if you chose wide tyres like mine the 235s you can also go all out and get 20s if your insane to. Yeah Blink haven't been down that way for awhile not that you can miss the car

Lol telling me to get back on topic lol. Think it was man, looks good. You can basically get anything enginereed right, with a certain amount of money? As long as its not so dodgy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

engineering wont stop them defecting you. it just means you will be able to get it over the pits much easier than normal. Not to say they wont try to tear you a new one if theyre in a bad mood.
