    Some cop mates of my ex's told us that they can defect anything on any car, as long as the car is older than two weeks, engineered or not.

    twin cam motor
    modified exhaust
    modified suspension height
    modified front seats

    the codes are on the rego sticker for all of these mods. RTA chick said i didnt need the cert in the car as the codes are there for that. the car is lower now than what it was engineered for, and on the report it discloses the exact height, so if i ever showed it, it would be a defect straight away...

    jessi: yeah i just heard that too.. hows that work tho? guilty until prooven innocent?

    I'm not sure how it works, but an old guy buying a brand new Bentley today would be able to get defected in a couple of weeks basically speaking.

    My ex has a rally car, full engineered and it's road registered (needs to be for transport stages and stuff) and the cops pulled him over and he said its engineered and they just said to him, go home or we will call highway patrol down here and they will take apart every piece of your car and defect you on everything, even the smallest cracks, and stuff like that.
