highway patrol VS SS and XR coppers

[Manaz]

Mechanics have told me that coilovers pass roadworthy.

They'd have to, else it'd be illegal to fit them.

I fit them myself.....

Yeah, but suspension places charge you to install it and that would be highly illegal if coilovers were illegal.

this is true.. and i will take it on the chin when that day comes... and i wont post up how big of a doushe the cop was because at the end of the day... hes only doing his job, it aint personal

well that's just it.

You'd have to be pretty silly, to go out and do all these things and not expect a little bit of extra attention.

If it ever happens to me, I'll just accept it, and then go about fixing it. Yelling at a copper wont help at all will it now.

Besides, coppers love dom's car anyways. he'll be sweet.l

Pretty sure any cop can give you a defect, Highway patrol are just all c**ts and will go out of their way to defect you - Normal cops will generally use their discretion.

Never anyone in Highway patrol that wasn't a c**t, happy to be proven wrong though!!

my first car recieved a number of defects for the below - i recieved minor/major from divy van to HP's cars - anyone that drives near TMU HQ in knox knows the grey BA to watch out for (most likly changed now, this is 2-3 years ago)

coilovers
Muscial airhorn
Bonnet pins
Steering wheel
FMIC & pod
Wheel/tyre combo
Exhaust was EPA'd number of times
BOV
Painted eyebrows on front/rear lights

I had to remove all the above to pass @ vic roads, i have also witnessed many friends being told coilovers are not legal in the pits

What the hell did you do to the cop? Did you screw both his wife and his daughter?
