So how much do you want for them? Will you go cheap for bulk? And what about delivery?

Perhaps a mod could move it out of for sale......as nothing is actually for sale, and perhaps put it in "mini chat" to inform new users over the legality of neons etc.....

conforming to ADRS is a pain in the ass.......

and more people look in mini chat than for sale.

just my 2 cents

To top all that off, I seem to have a magnet for RBT's.


I think that might be my fault there Phil, I would always complain that they would never give me an RBT so I think the word has got around that mini drivers want RBT's too. Seriously I did complain when I crashed the dwarf and didnt get an RBT but ever since that day I have been hounded. So my deepest apologies phil.

it would grab more attention in mini chat anyway, but i cant really see the difference. Conforming to ADR's is a big topic at the moment among the modified car scene. I dont know whereabouts you guys live, but here in NSW, and in particular Sydney, there are MAJOR defect stations set up every weekend, that escort cars back into the RTA and do massive sweeps on them. Its massive revenue raising. Ive had freinds defected for "No H pattern on the gear knob". Thats a yellow sticker and a fine.

To many people are uninformed about what goes and what doesnt. The better we inform people within the scene the less people will get defcted and the less bad press itll recieve. People can diss cops all day long but in the end no matter how much you argue its easier to fix and be done with it.

My 5 cents

Unbelievable.....damn i wish i was there...what he has done is illeagle!!!!. As an officer he is only to enforce the law....unless he was an auto engineer(wich i dought). by telling you to cut wires on your car he has in fact renderred a part on your car defective, ie illeagle. You do have recourse by billing him to repair the damaged wire...crap i would have taken the defect and argued it in court just to prove a point, Cops are getting too damn power hungry.

animal is right......he had no right to ask you to tell you to cut your wires. I presume you had a switch to turn them on/off. if so he should merely have asked you to turn them off and then issued you with a defect.

i dont know how they do things in VIC but in NSW that would be the go.

Here in Qld the police can only issue defects on obvious things like taillights and rust holes and such....for anything else they require someone with a mech or engineers degree like an approved inspection officer or MR officer. I have had 1 cop in trouble in the past for trying to tell me my bonnet scoop was back to front and the DOT officer with him reported him to his superior. Makes me so mad to hear stuff like this...if we can take the time to look up whats leagal and whats not why cant they. Just doing their job my arse...Sorry for the profanities

Here in NSW the police issue any defect they want.....even an engineers report will not stop them if they want to defect you. The problem is all states have different rules on things. For example Nitrous Oxide systems are legal ins oem states as long as the bottle isnt connected. In others the whole setups are banned. Uts too ambiguous, and as in jans case confuses people as to what is legal or not as people arent ever informed properly.

I by no means love the police, but dissing them doesnt do any good. People always come online, call the cops pigs and expect no repecussions. Problem is, the internet is a free source so cops read forums too. Reading anti police attitudes just makes them wnat to do crap liek this more.

One particular problem i have is when people( and im Certainly NOT talkign about Jan here......just thought id make it clear :D ), get defected for gear they KNOW is going to get them into crap, and then complain about it....."Da stupid pigz defected me bro" :roll:
