    Thumbs down Poor little 86 got the red sticker...

    Yeap. Cops got me good.

    -Didn't like my gear shifter
    -Apparently Hotdogs for mufflers is no good either
    -My wheels poke too much
    -Didn't like the stretched tyres either
    -Pollution gear from my engine gotta go back on...somehow, somewhere
    -Air filter a no go
    -Horn....is not there
    -Suspension is too stiff. Huh? Is that even illegal?
    -Can't see indicators for all the smoked goodness.

    So yeah, I knew I'd get the sticker sooner or later. And maybe... just maybe, I deserve some (SOME) of the defects.
    I'm really at a lose as to what to do next. I can't afford to fix some of those up. Bluies are fucking hard to get, so I hear. Spent more than I can really spend on the 86, yet it's worth shit al (and now even more so with it defected).
    Sigh... should I just cut my loses and start-a-new? I really wanted to make my 86 special, I love it.
    Need some friendly advise guys.

    Say someone had a defected vehicle that isn't to be driven at all....does insurance cover you if you happened to have a accident? Just asking! Not driving, no accident, just want to know.

    I've pretty much made up my mind and going with track car. I'll buy me a good towing ute and keep the 86 as a track/meet up/project car. Just can't bring myself to sell it.

    Half of the things he got done for are nothing to do with being engineered or not.

    To be on the road engineered or not you still need quite a few basics.

    Wheels outside guards -unavoidable
    Horn - unavoidable
    Stretch - unavoidable
    Indicators - unavoidable - have to be ORANGE
    Air filter - unavoidable - has to be sucured Properly or in a box which is also secured.

    OP - unlucky though man, all depends on the copper you get and how bad his day/life has been.
