F***!!!!!!!! great day, crap day.
(please excuse the angry mood/lang)
thanks to the local heat now im prolly gonna restore my subi back to normal, and just before the BBQ.
they followed me for 10 minutes in heavy traffic then pulled me over and stickered me. stupid f'n cops. i only just got the car 2 months ago and the lift kit in 3 weeks ago and now its most prob gonna have to be delifted. arrrrrrrgh they got me for wheels sticking out and not enough rubber on aftermarket pedal pads. i even played dumb to try and increase my chances ie so if i get some flares it'll be alright? and so what does a yellow sticker mean? but no the unkind pigs wouldnt have it any other way f***ers.
they didnt say anything about the engine or the 3" kit but i wonder how far that'll get overlooked at the pits (went ok last with last car).

and to make matters worse the comper is f'd too and i had to retype all of this. grrrrr

thats gay man...and it looks sooo farkin sweet....i guess we all got to pitch in again.... dave

Dude, put some flares on it and try your luck, a whole lot better than de-lifting.

It will give you more time so you can make it to the bbq

oh that *I'm a potty mouth* sucks. *I'm a potty mouth* cops can be real good sometimes but that is worst case that beats my luck i got sticked for cracked window. *I'm a potty mouth* when do u have to take it over the pits.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Matt, that is soooo fu**ing gay dude!, i really do feel for you.

Oh man that is very unlucky!!
Personally I would definitely have a crack at passing it over the pits with the lift kit still installed.

If you can pass your old wagon, you can pass anything.

HAHHAAHAA...thanx andrew...love that last little comment there...lol

peugeot rims FTW.

yeh well this time i have a 3" kit. they barely passed the other one which was the 2" (sorta) but ill have a crack tho, that was at east perth. i dont want to go to warwick coz they know about lifting legalities there. any other suggestions of pits to go to? ive got 12 days to get to one.

theres also one on stock road in oconner, but got no idea on how "in tune" they are

don't de-lift your soob.

If you don't get it first go they can extend the time for you.

smoov....the wheels are not the problem here....the 3" lift kit is the concern... dave

The pits in O'Conner is actually on Stockdale Rd, the licensing centre is on Stock Rd. :P

There's also the pits out in Welshpool too. Whack the flares on and take the car in. It doesn't really matter what the cops say, it all comes down to the pit inspection.

Bet it was the scoop that caught the cops eyes too.

Best thing is that they didn't sticker it for the lift.

yeh might try the welshpool one. o conner is a bit far for me. im buying flares tomorrow.

yeh i reckon they saw the scoop and and did the u'y and chased me-very slowly. i think they were dissapointed not to find anything interesting under the hood tho. they had a good look over the engine, but didnt say a word about it other than- its a bit dirty. they overlooked the huge pod, turbo, intercooler, random plastic everywhere and L series wiring-its all legal afterall. im not complaining. im still po tho.

my apologies tim...but i beleive i can see the inspection centrefrom stock road, so therefore its on stock road to me...HAHAHAHA:D dave

I would defiantly say it’s in your best interests to take it over as quickly as you can just to get the feel for them and see what they will pick…. Id say just wak the flairs on and take it over… it’s clean and respectable and the quicker you get it over the less likely they are to look into a lot if you make out that the cops were giving you a hard time…

hey mate

for erasy flares bunnings sells black or green garden edging with metal wire through it this stuff folds any direction and never breaks. Used it on my patrol for flares and it only cost about $10 for enough to make all four.
