Was an ordinary thursday night, had just finished footy training and thought I would head to tt plaza to buy myself a long overdue purchase, PS2! Little was I to know that waiting for me outside the cinemas would be bout 4 four cops waiting to defect me... fu#*ing pigs. GOt me for being too low at the front by 25mm, having 18" inch rims and momo wheel. The wheels and momo I can easy fix but front suspension is gonna cost me to get it done.
P.S. what did they do you for Gav?

those 18's - I havn't run back to check yet but you are allowed to go two inches above standard. Now the little card in my glove box has 15" written on it, but VL walky's came with 16's STOCK. So while my 17's are ok, I reakon 18's should be fine as well.
I have a farking huge list of stuff I need to fix, everything from presenting the leftover wiring from the turbo timer in a bag at the next inspection to getting the rust cut out of the front winscreen.

What was their reasoning for the Momo wheel ? I've had one on for about fifteen years and it's never caused a problem with them.

There are some specific MOMO wheels which comply to the Australian Design Regulations, it has to be stamped on the wheel itself for it to be 'legal'. Also it can't be any less than 32cm in diameter.

Yeah you'd be well and truely ****ed on the front lol, back would just scrape in I reakon. Depends how low your exhaust is also, has to be at least 10cm clearance from the lowest point of the car.

3 1/2" from turbo, unfortunatetly hangs pretty low, will have to measure it!

yep, height adjustable....monroe gas riser shocks, can pump them up to higher than factory, or slam it on its guts when ever...just pull up at a servo where you pump tyres up and increase air pressure to heighten or let all the air out to lower it, as pictured! theyre bloody handy
