Yeah Aron the events area is back and its for all events... Official or un-official. So post all your thursday night events and so forth in the events section, thats what we brought it back for. Any official events need to be approved by the club (once again separate to the forum). An official event will be made sticky in the main qld section if open to all users. Members only events will always be posted in the members area. Which is only accessable by payed qld members. Cheers Col If you have any questions about posting events then please PM me. If you want to get together for an official event then please PM 'Mud'.

Supercheap here we come...

Josh and his big lips...

Looking forward to seeing you at a club event shortlly...

HGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ummmm unless "n15mo" offers you his at a good price....

What ever you do dont buy second hand struts... Buy a new pair from repco or autobarn and get them done properly... Dont fotget a wheel alignment when your finished...

Josh You sure know how to treat a car....

So anyways im not saying i know everything or anything... But yeah just sharing my thoughts...

Yeah i got one Shane... How much you wanta give me??? I have the plug for it also...

Never said they did... The point was they make just as much noise... You could easilly argue the point... Trucks/Cars/Motor bikes all need to be lower the 91db as per QLD transport regulations... Also as previouslly stated a noise must be measured for no less than 11 seconds to be legal as a noise pollution test... So how exactlly can they book anyone for noise pollution from a BOV??? As for a plumb back setup the majority of the charged air goes back throught the air filter not downstream. But i have a good understanding on how and why. Its all about whos got the strongest case in court if it needs to go that far. So as long as it is filtered what else can they do you for??? But a good place to start with is dont attract un-nessary attention to youself. Also if u do salary packaging for the QLD Police they dont pull you over.

Good feedback guys... As you can all see the Events section has returned. Im leaving this topic open for one week so yeah 6 days left and then we will decide on the chat sub forum.

Ok Guys the "Events" section is back!!! 5 Simple rules. If you obey the rules then your post is unlikely to be deleted or closed. 1. All events posted here are un-official events and they are open to all (meaning all forum users & all car types). 2. This section is for organised events only so make a time, date, location and post your plans. (EOI's are acceptable tho) 3. No illegal activities such as street racing, mountain runs, touge, street drags etc. 4. Include the date in the title or secondary title. Just for faster reference. 5. Do not make threads with virtually nothing but a hyperlink to another forums, post the complete details here or dont post it at all. Thats it...!

Fixed.... Thanks for pointing that out...

If you guys feel more needs to be discussed then please feel free to post it up...

Proof... Air brakes... Trailer brakes vent excess pressure via a BOV they produce similar noises and can be activated at a standstill... Do they get a fine??? Always a loop hole... Just dont be a smart arse about it, until you know your right and your speaking to the right people. NOTE: Your average 40ft trailer has up to 4 vents for over pressure...

Im glad you mention that Jason... To measure noise level the noice must be able to be clearlly heard for a time greater than 11 seconds... In other words you cannot measure a BOV... When the police measure the DB on your exhaust they have to measure the level for no less than 15 seconds to make a booking... When being fined for speeding the police need to target the car for no less than 20 metres... There are always loop holes...

I dont know... All you need to do is read the legals on the topic at hand and interperate the legal meaning of this statement. By filtering the air leaving the BOV you are filling the requirements of the law...

Please bare with me on these topics. I am currentlly discussing the matter with Admin. Please vote above in the poll as to what you guys want. With out your feedback we cannot do anything so please post away. Please understand my job as a moderator is to close or modify threads and posts as per our rules. Im not being mean or trying to upset any of you. Cheers Colin

Just roll up to your local import workshop... Most who do motor conversions and transmission mods have an engineer abord their crew... I had mine done by my father in-law whom is a mechanical engineer by trade and have an LB1/3/4/7 licience. Which covers all aspects of a motor car or motorbike and a few more which he will not need again. He is an air bag and bullbar designer to be more specific...

The difference is that i have an engineers certificate for the bov modifications and for my oil catch can... So i dont need to prove anything. All i need to do is produce the certification of the modifications and if the cop wont accept it then id take the ticket and go to the transport dept.

Ummm that volvo drifting was great cyrus... Cefiros are..............................................................good.

Anyways... There is nothing i can do to make you feel better. Im glad you are copping it on the chin and I hope your making steps to fix your defects. Otherwise next time your pulled over they will check the same items...

Ill be completelly honest... I have one defective part on my car... I have a SSQV HKS valve venting to atmosphere... But what i have done to make it legal in the eyes of the law is modify a small pod filter over the front of the valve. This way it can function the way it is meant too and its filtered and therefore legal. If i was to be ticketed for this i would take the ticket and then dispute the ticket with the transport department and use their own rules and regulations. Because the reason BOV's have to be plumb back is so they are filtered by the cars air filter. You can by all means filter the BOV in a seperate filter... Thats quite legal.

Heeee... One night i saw a guy get fined for a non standard engine... It was a old volvo turbo... I dont know much about volvos but the guy who got the ticket was fairlly nice and said to the police. "Its the stadard engine in this model" The police man ripped him a ticket and told him to shut the %%%% up and that he was no born yesterday. The guy took the ticket and laughed it off. He was a bit upset about his treatment and continued to explain to us it was factory and we believed him. Why would he need to lie to us...? So yeah sometimes it's BS...
