Got pulled up in city today on the way to get a gearbox for a mate.. Got off with street check :yes:

I want this car. So hot!

As for clearing the defect, do i just sort out the things they mentioned and go into DOT and they will only check them things? or will they go over my whole car? Can i unrego it, get a RWC and rego it without DOT looking at it? Or will it 100% need to go over the pits? thanks, marvis.

I want! looks hot - esp the edit :fuzz:

^ Haha that's a little stupid isn't it? Why do they have to do things twice? Do they have anti hoon laws down there?

Yeah yeah, i knowwhat you are saying.. I do stuff on the street so i'd rather keep it all the same :dance:

I wanted to do suspension first then an engine, learn to drive in an under powered car so i wouldn't kill myself. I got defected last night... GAY. Only got my for height, no air filter and steering wheel... the dude was an idiot and had no idea.

Keeping it rego'd, only did it a few weeks ago. Yes LOL @ cops. What would you reccomend for a 165 - 180mm 6kg spring? Thanks, marvis.

3mths I'm hoping.. Will know when i get the letter.

EDIT: nm nm will keep anti commo comments to self.

I lost my license today.. Got done for unsafe vehicle again.. Lady was like, do you have an exhaust? ME: it fell off yesterday, I'm getting it fixed tomorrow (zomg lies) Her: the car looks a bit low, did you do that? (cross member is ~50mm or so from ground) me: i bought some springs off a guy because my old ones where soggy, it's too low, i don't like it and I'm getting some new ones this weekend (moreeee liieeess) her: those tires are a bit bald me: i have new ones in the back (had rims on my backseat) i just need wheel nuts for them, which is why i was just a bobjane. She later said 'oh that car looks about standard height' i won't put it on the ticket' she got me to turn my wheel so she could take a pic of my tires and my guard was sitting on my wheel hahaha. Don't know how she didn't notice.. So yay, i will probs put a 4AGE in it while I'm off the road..

I live in ippy, might be down.

Whats wrong with a 4 speed? Does a 4 speed have longer range in the lower gears? This is what i thought so i kept my 4 speed in...

Scrubbing ftw. My fronts srub every 10 mtrs or so. Smaller tires maybe?

FAIL. That is the worst KE70 i have ever seen.

Sweet, thats what i need. Thanks for the info :)

Because my rears have to be really short stroke and TRD don't make a really short stroke from my knowledge (which isn't much). I haven't really looked into it. As for the springs i would probably go Custom Compact all round as they are local, but i think they only make coilover springs. Maybe spja for springs..

^no idea. two tone? Probs sierra's in the rear as i'm running ~170mm springs. Would probs get spja or OCS springs for the rear, 6KG. Front, TRD or some brand of MR2 shocks. With 8KG Custom Compact or undecided springs.

Thanks guys :) I have 7's on the rear and it scrubs like crazy haha. Need to flare the guards a little bit..

Thanks mate :)

Last night my driveway decided it liked my JDM lip better in 4 pieces.

Points gap fine? I had this issue and it was with the points gap. Should be a 0.4mm from memory. Timing might be an issue.. Stock is 8deg but trying running it 12+ depending on mods.. Just set it, take it for a drive, then do it a bit more etc. fun fun.
