Just get it looked at during your next service - save you the headache.

In Sydney You: "but it looks real cool officer !! " Officer 1 to Officer 2: "Fine his ***** !" Do they have fog light rules in Perth ?

Sportiv, it's in the handbook. It's classified as a fog light contrary to how bright it is.

Unfortunately it's not about bright/not bright lights or yellow/white lights. If the spec sheet for your car states your car has "fog" lights then it has fog lights - end of story. Whether or not the coppa finese you is their perogative.

Good find mate. To make it simple for others: * fog lights are NOT DRL's * normal headlights (driving/parkers) are NOT DRL's Most aussie cars on the roads do not have DRL's fitted - they are an aftermarket assessory (at this point in time anyway).

I think what he meant was he got fined for the fog lights, not defected. If I am wrong, do correct me though the cop sounded like a c0ck .. bad luck mate. Sometimes they just don't care and want to power trip you. But yeah, turn your bloody fog lights off ! They are bloody annoying and it's a $75 fine as Blue Stivo mentioned above, if not used in adverse driving conditions meaning fog .. hence the name ... fog .. lights :o

Hmm interesting thread so I will reply. The steps listed below should get an import complied and on the road: 1) Ensure all modifications are legal and the car is in a roadworthy condition. You may spend lots of money getting car back to 'standard' form, so don't buy an import with too many modifications (especially if they do not have the standard parts that go back on the car). You can always ask the seller to lead you in the right direction to a compliance centre to 'comply' your car. 2) Once complied, get an engineer to provide an engineer's certificate with as many of the modifications that he sees can be engineered, such as aftermarket steering wheel, aftermarket (read WIDE) rims, bucket seats, FMIC not too low and has mesh protection (I think), larger brakes, suspension etc. etc. 3) In NSW, you may need an emissions test depending on what year the motor is (I think?) This can be done at Penith or Waterloo. 4) Blue slip it 5) But your CTP 6) Go to the RTA and get it registered. Bring your engineers certificate, blue slip and paid CTP. Once done, you can have your number plates ! Done ! Your best bet would be to buy something that is ALREADY registered in NSW to save you the headaches. But if you are going to do it yourself, take every necessary precaution because you do not want to be left with a 500hp lemon in your garage that can't be registered.

We have a quad cam vienta .. its a very cumfy car .. I think you know where I am going with this .. PIMP it .. 19's , lowered, extremely cambered .. that will not cost very much - definitely affordable on a students salary Maybe $3,500 all up ? That should keep you occupied for a while Manu, and will definitely Pul Da Chiks !

wait wait wait .. is it AUTO or MANU ? (sorry that was a bad play on words !!)

We have a camry and if you want some "r3spct" ... sell the bloody thing ! Please do not 'modify it'. Unless you are going to put a 3sgte into it which makes it all ok ~

we are on the same boat :) The saying is "In the same boat" I'm on a different one :P I'm a gear parker too :) Off the same boat maybe .. FOB

would you want to play tennis with no umpire and linesmen ? hell no ! controversy is great for sports !!! ESPECIALLY for soccer .. this will be talked about for years to come !

No one seems to think the red card was a bad decision ? Having to play with 10 men, Italy did a great job. They had more shots at goal than the Ozzys the whole game !! Class team .. But I feel terrible .. only 2 bad decisions by the ref the whole game ... but one that cost the aussies a larger piece of history ... (I am going to have a cry now...)

Noice turnout ! Ok, who's going to use the panoramic pic as their signature ? Someone is bound to do it ...

Excellent .. looks like I get a nights sleep tonight
