lol 33 tahts funyn considering you can only get done for 31 LMFAO. well according to my mate anyways who worked for queensland transport
I just got failed for roadworthy (suprise suprise) and the guy is really pedantic. Some of the things hes got down are:
Vent on bonnet needs securing - one screw isnt in but the vent is held in fine.
Chip on windscreen - 2 cracks about 3mm long going less than halfway thru the glass.
Needs timing cover (for saftey) - I dont think ive seen a 4age with a timing cover on
.
It doesnt idle smoothly - cams will do that to a car...
Theres 33 things on the list, some of them I think are reasonable, some overlookable and some just stupid. In the roadworthy guys words "It has to drive like a regular car, not a racing car" and also "Are you sure you want to put this thing back on the road?".
So does anyone know anyone who might be a bit more sympathetic to getting a 33 year old car on the road in the sunshine coast area? PM me if you do.
BTW I havent done any proper driving in the car but just getting it to the roadworthy place and home (60-40 kph zones all the way) it feels totally different to any car ive driven before. With the low height it feels like a big go kart but its hard to say how itll handle till I take it on some decent roads, when and if it gets roadworthied.

dont think hes in qld
Fix problems, go for new roadworthy![]()
By "done" do you mean made unroadworthyable?![]()
Most of the stuff is little stuff and stuff I was going to do anyway. The biggest pain in the ass is going to be all the bushes, and the tiny leaks if he doesnt let them go![]()
d1 he is in qld. on suny coast
Just go some where else guy sounds like a dick. oh and just fix any real problems![]()
def dont go back! fix the REAL problems and then take it somewhere else
a little trick is to leave the bigger problems, so they focus on that, and don't look at the li ttle problems of the car, so they see your brakes are warn down and don't worry that you have no brake fluid
kidding about the example but that works for me! heh.
