When you go to get a canary cleared they only ever check what you were defected for. Unless it's changed in the last couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any weight in the back that you could take out? go on an empty tank? Get the exhaust raised a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurteee Member 22 Member For: 13y 4d Posted 04/10/12 04:39 AM Author Share Posted 04/10/12 04:39 AM Yeah I gonna try it with any empty tank and no passengers hopefully that will raise it a bit, and I'm pretty sure when he was checking I one side of the car was in the gutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 12d Posted 04/10/12 04:57 AM Share Posted 04/10/12 04:57 AM I don't know about VIC but in NSW I believe the rule is 1 person in the car ie you. No regulations for fuel tank, spare wheel, jack etc taken out. But in saying that I can't imagine either of those will give you 10-15mm.Could try and jack the car up just before getting tested, lets the springs stretch back out and will only settle once you drive down the road,. between that, spare wheel and empty fuel tank could possibly get rid of the defect that way?

Passed no worries.I was so surprised the bloke at vic roads didn't even notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 04/10/12 07:38 AM Share Posted 04/10/12 07:38 AM (edited) Leave it on stands overnight and drive strait there haha.Resetting the springs is the go, if the front is properly lowered I doubt it will dip with the rear sitting up a bit.A can of coke is 125mm high, and a good cheap gauge by yourself. Taking in passenger, wet stuff sag. Edited 04/10/12 07:39 AM by XR09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 14y 12d Posted 04/10/12 01:08 PM Share Posted 04/10/12 01:08 PM Go to a ford dealer and ask for the yellow spring blocks they have on the xr's and fpvs for transit and delivery. They get taken off before they are displayed at the dealership. They prevent the spring from compressing and keep the fresh bumpers safe from scrapes. Just ask them nicely. They will have heaps laying around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
