as some have noticed got my first yellow licky avoided it for ages coz its a weekend car. just a few questions i have 19's are these gyunna get me hassled ? as well the tacho is above dash wil that hurt my cause? my rear windscreen wiper just stopped workin got a new motor but are they gunna be picky on **** like that ? the cars well maintaiend and generally cleaner and looked after better than 90% of vl's out there..the cops even loved it who can resist the green but yer any tips wuld be great. thanks everyone daniel

they won't pass the 19's, don't know about the rear wiper though They mainly check the following: Ball Joints Brakes Oil Leaks Tyres Ride Height Lights Demister If its not N/A your you'll need a permit for BOV/FMIC etc

yeah nothing above 8inches wide. also depends who ya get, i had 17's 8inch wide and the car was too low but he said he's not too fussed about it (i think you'll be ok with ride hight though ). ive just gotta get my demister fixed, high beams working and windscreen jets worken. but yeah what was said above is pretty much right Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

be friendly!!! yes sir ok sir no worries sir!!

Didn't check rear wiper (that didn't work) on my old wagon. Midland is good, Warwick can be ****s

handbrake... they park it on a hill put it in drive with the hand brake on if it moves forward bad news... then they do it in neutral and reverse something easily fixed but they will make u spend another 54 dollars and come back another day

Just make sure all things are working fine as well light your lights Horn, Windscreen wipers man and make sure that your washers work to clean the screen. Also make sure your heater works ie blows hot air onto the screen because they check that about it really good luck man

i got my licky for my 18s then wen i took it there they pikt up on no horn no number plate light leaking rack play in left hand ball joint (which i never fixed) gearbox leak and i had to take my shift light off my tacho i got superlows, and a 3inch zorst, hole under airfilter and buckets seats and got over they didnt chek my demister i had a bald spare tyre with no jack and this was at warwick, i thought they were quite easy goin

sweet my cars a 4wd so is the general idea i shuld just take the 19's off and roll on stockies for the day .. kinda blows coz newer hsvs come out with standard 19's grrr but yer did u just take ur rims off to get over mazza? and i'll just wing the rest haha

yeah i put on stockees and he asked me wat rims i have at home i told him about them and he sed "u will put them bak on" and i was like yeah mate he just laughed and wen he took the sticker off he sed "seeya next time" haha cheeky ****

With regard to tacho and gauges above dash, im told the police have an 11 metre rule. If a rock was placed on the road 11 metres away from the car, then u should have a clear view of it....i.e. stretching across the whole dash at that distance.

apparently is the rule but that dont physically check it like that they just glanced at mine and said it was ok

my car isn't that low, but they sent me away for it, came back the next day and got over straight away.... just gotta get a guy in a good mood.

Man... it depends on who u get.... they didnt check my spare tyre at all, didn't even pop the boot.... oil leaks, tint, ride height etc..... tacho they will go u for..... they got me for the drivers armrest being loose, and also the sunvisor being too loose, and my front springs not being captive.... Just depends on who u get on the day, and what mood they are in... As for rims, you can get 19's on a permit, again depending on who u get.... get a new holden tyre placard, as thats what they go on... I put a VS placard on mine, which said 235/45/17 as std and he wrote that on the permit. I also got permits for BOV, cooler, piping, bodykit, walky scoop hole, steering wheel, etc..... Insist you want permits... they will tell u that you dont need em, but say you want them coz the cops keep hasseling you...

yer my spare had a massive gash in the side and was completely ****ed, they never checked it...

The rule is that they get you to sit in the car and check if you can see the item 11metres away, and then they sit in the car and check if they can see it. Also I found out that boot mounted Surge tanks are legal if you get them checked and then get a permit for it. Extra fuel pumps i dont think need permits. And just some extra info.... cops arent ever allowed to confiscate your licence when they pull you over you officially dont lose it or have to hand it in until you pay your fines/go to court etc Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks Steve. I Probably didnt word it right. What you said is what i meant....i.e that you have to sit in the car and see the rock....not see the dash clearly from where the rock is. Thanks again.
