Sydney drivers would understand! p-plates attract cops, even though you're not necessarily doing anything wrong.Quote:

I'm not too worried about the defect, more about the money I have to shell out to clear it. Money that I don't have.
fark that sux man............ its the p plates bro
What a load of crap. Why defect P-plated uni students? Cos straya ****.
I liked to think I'm exempt from adr's when driving to work or uni.
Sucks that's what happens trying to get an education and not be a doll bludger.
That sucks, so stupid. Can't wait until I get my blacks.
Sucks to be on P's. I'm spewing cause it hasn't even been 24 hours since I put them in and I get defected, oh well I had it coming though.
Had a day off uni today, so raised it back up during study breaks. Did some calculations as it was sitting uneven before even though I adjusted them all evenly, and managed to get it sitting level.
Still have a forward rake, fronts need to go up a bit higher to clear.
Ordered some parts to do the PCV delete, parts still haven't turned up after 2 weeks...
Queensland is the same, and I presume other states too. I was out driving the work Ute (a completely stock new Triton, driving sensibly at/under the speed limit ) and a policeman on a motorbike did a quick u turn in the citys busiest street to pull me over when he saw the pplate on the front. I didn't have a pplate on the back which I then got fined for, but there's no way in hell they saw that from the front, so was incredibly obvious pplate targeting. Sucks you got pulled over so soon though, did they defect you?Quote:

Looks good !
Sucks about the defect though.
U should try get a etag cause then u avoid the streets and I'm pretty sure it halfs your time to get to uni !
Can't believe you got coils already. boo. haha Was lookin good though. Meet imminent m8 !

That's a sexy S3 ;) haha
Yes it is!

Wow looks a lot better, so badly needs joey modded lights to finish it all up :cool:
Need to see this thing again, so I know how dark the tint really is up front.
Have u removed all that plug up stuff an reverted back to stock ?
Id probably do that if it were me, so i know where i stand.
Ooi hks it's me Luke:)
Since when did u get your licence back??
All those times caught with no licence thought u would have gotten a few years:)
And also how long would this car last before you would need to tow it to the scrap yard??
I was thinking the exact thing! Sadly though, mum managed to break the oven haha! Not sure how I'd go about removing the lenses now. Would a heat-gun do the job?Quote:

funny cnut, it's staying for a while :P Haven't even given this thing a good trashing since I bought it lol
I used a hairdryer when I did my joey modding. Wouldn't recommend it but I just got in there with a stanley knife and flat head screwdriver. Did the trick but the oven method seems to be the way most people go about it. I'd say a heatgun should be good. Just take your time.
Holla me a pm if you need tips with that joey mod did mine a few months ago ! and what else is wrong with the idle ? Does the car still drive fine?
Cause i had that problem in mine aswell. It was either 2 things, could be the spark plugs if you haven't already replaced them or maybe something to do with the injectors (doubt it) and i also had my Stepometer changed cause it wasn't working but till the video !
man that looks awfully similar to my Mk3 same color same mods at start Love it !

If its clunking I'd Probally say it's the timing belts. If not then the gears etc.
Holy shiit man, I saw sparks flying in your alternator !
I'm pretty sure you've got 2 or 3 things that are screwed now !
Take the sump out and inspect the bottom end, an check for more crap in the oil.
U NEED TO GET A SCAN DONE !!!
Or maybe it's time for a 16v conversion :cookie::cookie:
From what Im hearing, it's firing really shiit, so that plus the sparks leads me to think, you've got more then 1 prob.
An check your timing.
Oh an have u undone the plug up stuff ??
Maybe on the weekend I could prob come by if it hasnt been fixed?
Never heard an 8V make such diabolical sounds :S

Bloody hell. Film/tint like that is asking for a defect.
They are just headlight protectors sprayed matt black. Can take 'em off in 2 secs, I just put them for the photos haha makes the car look so much meaner.Quote:

Bad news, was involved in a bit of a bingle today coming back from picking up wheels. My fault, so I'll be paying my excess, and by the looks of it, won't be done before GAD.
I'll post pics when I get around to getting pictures off my girlfriend.
Hope you and passengers are alright mate, glad you're insured, takes pressure off, Mk3s are tough you can rebuild.
Shiit glade your alrite !
Hks lad I think u need to learn to drive again

#2 when I'm at fault. They're called accidents for a reason, they happen by accident.Quote:
