    Default defected !

    hey guys just got defected today on cross road because of clearance of my exhaust and bald tyres.

    i havent been defected before so im not entirely sure how to go about it correctly. yes it's a regency defect so the copper told me i need a stock steering wheel (which i don't have) new set of tyres ALL round...and need the exhaust over the diff...

    just wondering if you guys could give me a bit of advice...plus i need a stock wheel haha

    go to local wreckers, look for a twin cam 16v steering wheel out of a FWD corolla they are passable since they have padding in the middle, go to exhaust joint get exhaust modified to be an overdiff setup, shouldnt cost too much, and tyres just get 2nd hand roadworthy ones, easy done.

    yeah regency can be a hassle, so maybe get a mechanic to look over AND under your car esp for slight leaks

    sometimes they can be nazi-like a mate had a little bit of metal showing on his pedals, they will not pass him then and make him come back once he had installed a $2 piece of rubber even tho everyhting else was ok....
