DEFECTS

my g/f got defected last night on having a sports wheel (worth 300 i think) so its a good wheel.

Now when the defect has been removed is there anyway of putting it back on without getting in shit besides possibly being defected for it again... Would the pigs know that its been done for the wrong steering wheel before hand?
How many warnings do you get?

How in the hell does it work>?

fat chicks definately out of my room, out

sell the wheel, put a legal one on there, enjoy the profits and no defects!

Not only that gene also has to comply with ADR if there is no ADRlable the wheel is defectable..

ive been defected before because apparantly the centre of the wheel has to be padded. he got his trusty little measuring tape out but because the outer rim is soo beafy it made the 310 easy....so he looked all over my car...couldnt find a thing wrong...so he goes back and picks on the wheel....he wasnt happy with the surround to my tf-tg dash cluster being painted white either. who says they aint out there revenue raising.

i got a monumental 25 defects & a epa fine 2yrs ago in ballina , everything from wheels & tires to bonet scoop seats , too low etc....i even got fined for the tiawanese replacement lights having drain holes in them classing them as cracks !!!!!! i incured a $67 fine for each one....fucking damn expensive trip to the coast ... epa gave me 14 days to rectify the pollution equipment by a licensed mechanic .....just handed the plates in cos it was $2500 for tampering with pollution equipment .webbers arnt worth that hassel.. so know i'll pass on this to you , act dumb be very pollite & say "ohnestly officer" i'm not the one owner of this car so i didnt know that was elligal ...than ask them very politely for there name & rank , they have to give it to you & if asked you are putting in a formal complaint on the way you have just been victamised..... & do it!!! a police officer can not afford to have bad credits on his file , it means he/she is put further back for promoitions...... meaning they we alwaze be the shit kicker in there job:)

holy shit!! well ive got a TX head on my TG so there is no plugged up pollution holes and i got the original air filter box on the weber so its sorta hidden ...kinda But it still looks kinda suss coz of the 4" cold air intake, oil catcher can and big extractors... how else can i hide all this stuff?
maybe put the catcher can in the fan box?? hehe
