Mr. Keets

Ask your Mum if you can go live with your Aunty in Bel Air. I've said it before and I'll say it again...people are crap

peopel are crap... Buy a beater, I have a 91 Pulsar for abandoning in dodgey/idiot enriched environments . Having said that I've never a had a problem at Garden City, I always park on the Melville Civic side away from the organ donors

What do you mean by big HP? You might be better off going with a dog box if it's a purely tracked R.

I went the to the Imperial Palace last year. You get to walk around the grounds, have a look at some histor, antiques and some royal handycrafts...Nice architecture to photograph, a relaxing 2hr break from the rest of Tokyo. Like the rest of Tokyo the train or the underground is convenient.

No human shields Bard

I'd be up for renting one but I'm worried about getting lost Does it come with gaijin friendly GPS? Edit: checked...no

Just got told I'm free until after Christmas...Most likely stay at the Keio Plaza West Shinjuku unless someone has a better idea. I'll be up for visits etc especially a trip to Diakoku Futo. Garage Saurus would be good

How many participants do we need for this?

Last year the Sumo was on a week after TAS...

Looks like someone went to get lunch in your car. A certain level of trust is required when leaving your pride and joy with a shop. I have thought about crippling the PFC to make sure but have yet to allow any dodgey types to work on my R...as far as I know. I can think of one specialist workshop I use and I have to bend their collective arm to take the R for a real drive. In the end it comes down to respect for the customer and leadership from the person in charge.

I'd be getting the descision from the horses mouth as opposed to a workshop that is making money from the test

Thats the problem Paul...the application or enforcement of the test by Police and Inspectors isnt really examined. I'm not sure if the test is discretionary or manditory. My problem is the cost and the lack of accredited facilities. There is a relatively high cost for compliance, Replacing aftermarket gear with stock, the dyno pulls plus the cat. Add those numbers to a day off work and no guarentee of passing and it becomes onerous. This will end up breaking alot of enthusiasts. In reading the Antilag thread...35 pages and growing, it seam the MTA are for a moritorium. Anti lag post by Volatile Car Audio & Installations 1/9/09 "- MEMBER ALERT - ARD, IVD, LMVD, AADA, SPAD, 4WD, AAR, FID MEMBERS 1 September 2009 IM240 Emission Testing As many of you are aware the MTA held an Industry meeting on the 12th August to specifically discuss issues relating to an Information Bulletin distributed by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure on ‘Changes to Emission Testing of Light Vehicles In WA (April 2009)’ The purpose of this member alert is to inform you of progress to date on this subject. At the meeting which was attended by representatives from the Department of Transport and NATA, several key issues were identified as major concerns to the motor trades in general and more specifically to: · Performance modification centres; · Exhaust specialist equipment centres; · Gas fitters and conversion specialists; · Aftermarket performance product suppliers; · Aftermarket exhaust and catalytic converter suppliers; Some of these issues included: · The lack of industry consultation prior to the introduction of the bulletin · The lack of accredited testing facilities and associated costs for testing · Fitment of aftermarket catalytic converters and exhaust systems · LPG installations on vehicles that may not have passed a test prior to the fitment · Confusion within the police Service about changes to the standards · Lack of provision to test 4WD vehicles for emission testing Following the meeting it was agreed the MTA would write to the Department for Transport and the Minister for Transport to immediately suspend the introduction of the bulletin on emission testing, for a period of time, to allow further consultation with the Motor Trade Industry on all of the issues raised. Peter Fitzpatrick the CEO of MTA has both written and met with the Minister for Transport on this issue and there have been several meetings and discussions with senior Departmental and Ministerial staff up to present day. The Motor Trade Association is strongly supportive of a proper emissions testing regime and is willing to work with the Department in achieving a more practical and sensible way of implementing reforms in this area. We are confident as a result of the industry meeting and subsequent representations made by the MTA to the Department of Transport and directly to the Minister for Transport, the industry will achieve a sensible outcome. Kind regards, GRAEME SINDEN DIVISIONAL MANAGER" Antilag Post by vy--ss 1/9/09 "I have just returned from a meeting held tonight run by the AAAA. They have been in touch with the Ministers office and the word is that this IM240 testing as it is now, is going to be quashed inside of the next couple of days. This doesn’t mean that emission testing is cancelled, but the testing and implementing of the test, are going to be postponed, pending the proper consultation with vehicle industry, manufactures, industry bodies like AAAA, MTA, IAME, and the minsters office. Anyone considering having an IM240 done prior to this announcement should delay or seek advice from the AAAA to save financial loss. There may well be compensation due to the wrongful implementing of this testing. Hopefully. Details of contact Paul Raike Membership Development Manager - Southern Region Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA)" Well it seems we are of the hook...for the time being

DPI media statement on emissions testing

Brockas quote in regard to KEC volunteering to do the test " Many people in the aftermarket industry would consider that a dog act." lol nice one. Great so I have to let KEC work on my car to pass...wont happen. I'd rather hand in the plates and go racing. Maybe thats the plan.

Seems a little on the low side. I have 433awhp@17psi, essentially the same spec. Stock AFMs and different boost controller. As above...check with your tuna

Too many parts available...not enough discretionary funds. I need to buy new wheels this year, see above.
