Boosted Falcon

Friday nights success through the defect station turned sour when the same cop that went over my car and let me off pulled me over. Gets the stick out and the cars about an inch too low. Defected me for ground clearance, and tint. It was a Minor, no roadworthy required. I'm not really worried about the height, but i dont want to rip my tint off. It's fucking beautiful and i wont get shit like it again.

Seeing that its a minor, whats the chances of the vicroads dudes checking it over when i go to get it cleared? Should i just raise it and leave the tint? Wtf do I do?

the tint requirement is only on the front windows yeah?

swap windows?

Try going down at like 4.55pm on a friday, that would be your best chance at them not checking it.
Whats the worst that can happen? they tell you the problems not fixed.

^^^^ LOL love it


try going in when its really bright out? that may help.. on and buy white seat covers, bright will make it look legal

man ive never had issues with the 5.0 thats cos i dont bring attention lol

agree with John. If its the side windows and not the front or rear, chuck different windows in or different doors on, then swap back once cleared.

Cop told me that it was meant to by maximum 37% all round. My side windows are 13% and 9% on the rear. I think ill just wing it

lol, put the far side windows down

worst case scenario, smash the inspectors head through the windscreen if they want to fail you?

I think Johns idea is probably your best chance. Could always argue that its factory privacy glass. VRX lancer's, GLXR triton's, exceed Pajero's come with it from factory.

I've got a defect on my car,Just a minor. But the cop has ticked the box that says i need a rwc. I thought if it was a minor you only had to take it to vic roads? Anyone shed some light on this?

Sorry for taking over your thread

Fah wish some c*nt tried that on me while I was holding the height stick. Prob would be their own head through the front windows.

4.55 on a Friday won't work either, they'll just tell you to go and get fucked.

Fix tint to regulation. They are clamping down on it.

Strong phaggotry in this thread.

Don't drive an illegally modified car. Problem solved.

Haha it's all good. It's their choice whether they want you to get a Rwc or not.

how hard is it to swap e series side glass? gotta be better than having to redo the tint.

dont really see the point in trying to get away with it, all it will do is piss them off when they realise you think theyre idiots...

Theres no point. I'd have to change the rear window aswell, which is going to be a pita.

Its only the front 2 windows that need to be 35% rears can be 10 or 20% and anything behind that can be limo (completely black).
i nearly got done for tint on a rwc but luckily my fronts were slightly lighter so they let me go after they checked there rwc rules.
cheers josh.

the latest VicRoads guidelines says it has to be darkest legal on all windows now

Stop bitching and pay for your eBay item you won husasaurus!

dam that must be very recent as this was only 2months or so ago that i had the rwc done.
cheers josh.

Check your ebay messages

is it a requirement to show ur car at vicroads when clearing a defect?

a mate has had numerous amounts of defects in his VL, all of them for either too low or running slicks on the street. not once did he actually drive his VL to vicroads when clearing his defects. just handed them all the paper work and away he went. once he even had a mate go in and clear his defect for him, no questions asked.

No RWC defects have to be checked. RWC defects can SOMETIMES be cleared without inspection, pending area manager's approval.

when i got defected in my ed. the road worthy bloke said it was just the front two windows. so i changed em to standard windows. took bout 20 mins.. piss easy to change em back again

yeah the box hill **** tried to get me to bring my car there on a tow truck cause they claimed it was their specific conditions that any cars marked too low need to be seen.
told her she can pay for the truck herself, the rego had expired, they wouldn't give me an unreg vehicle permit cause of the defect and were tryna tell me the RWC i had was useless.
bit of a nice grey area vicroads have created with that one

told her to read the website a few times, get her manager and then come talk to me again...

I would change the front windows, nice and easy and gets done properly.
As mentioned it is only the front windows, not the back door windows.

Just slip the inspector a $50 lol.

look on the VicRoads site under window tint. It says any window the driver would have to look out of to get a clear view around him. so side when you check your blind spots and your back window

yeah i think that would only mean the front 2 i know u look out ur back windows but u cant spin ur head 360 degrees haha.
as said they release a new rwc book every year or 6 months or something and apparently they havent changed the tint rule in years.
cheers josh.

claim that it gets used for commercial purposes
different rules for commercial vehicles lol

I cbf with this shit anymore. Anyone want a DEV5 motor?

wish u were sellin it last week.. just brought a worked motor, how much u chasing ny way?

Uhhhhh... I don't know? I was being sarcastic

Phoenix wrote:worst case scenario, smash the inspectors head through the windscreen if they want to fail you?

That'll probably fix the tint issue too.

Swap the door windows man - cheap as and only takes an hour or so to do the lot.

I swapped my front windows last week to get a RWC.
I interpret the rules a little different but the RWC place was happy so I didn't say anything.
The rules state : All windows available to the driver must be X percent. To me thats every window.

Was this on the Princes HWY?
