Ok, if you guys want i'll scan in the different notices they gave me. The direction to rta/epa test facility paper has a part which says "failure to attend the defect station within alloted time will result in a penalty not exceeding 20 demerit points." that worried me so I complied not wanting to lose my licence.

Also with engineers certs, I asked what seemed to be the only half decent rta guy about engineers and he said "the only certificate they accept is an RTA certificate." whether this is true or not is a different thing.

I am starting a petition that people may sign if they would like. The only problem with this is the fact that every car that gets pulled up DOES get defected. This backs up the police bigtime and throws our case in the drain as far as I can tell. The point I want to make is the fact that enthusiasts ONLY are being targeted when we all see many cars being looked over purely because they are not young or they drive a s h i t b o x which is more than likely worse off in the defect department.

Also my filter fine carries an "undue noise" fine, I think to do with the back-off or flutter from the reverberation back through the impeller wheel and the extra induction noise on top. So that means they've got me? Either way I have the shits because of the way it was handled. I will make a big fu(king scene if they get me next time because I plan to fix and try to engineer everything so that if this does happen I can tell them to go and play hide the truncheon with their partner.

One thing I want to be clear about is that I was polite from the start with the police then the rta and the epa. Once I realised they were being impolite to me and were going to slam me regardless I then stopped with the politeness.

I got done at Harry's last year at a pre set up defect staion with coppers and RTA ppl all set up there

They went over my engine bay with a torch and were there for ages !

I have a t piece, panel filter (hole cut out of side of air box) and FMIC, and HKS BOV

They didn't get me for anything there !

so then they did the usual checks, first of all the RTA guy couldn't find tyre placard, and was adimate my car came std with 13s !!!!!!!!! (even tho I had the stock wheels on at the time, 14s :bonk: ) passed exhaust test as well, only had to rev to 3000

All my lights and stuff were working, but they got me for "no high mount brake light" anyway !!! like how many damn cars do u see out there with no lights working at all, but coz they r "normal" looking cars, they don't get pulled over, I go to a lot of trouble to make sure everything is always working, and they don't and I cop that GHEY defect !!!

RTA chick I rang said obviously the cops were being ****s that day / quote !!

they also got me for too low, yeh, by like 0.000000000001mm

idiots

/rant

if it makes u feel better Sweyn, I got caught racing at the runs that night

Bron that really sucks.

I am sorry to hear that.

And coppers wonder why the car scene hate them so much. They never never ever pull over normal family cars.

I have never seen a 40 year old guy with his family pulled over for a random check or get defected.

They specifically target us!

Thats descrimination. There must be laws for this?

BTW I love lollies too :D

DR GTR: yeh it sucks

I was SO lucky I got away with it on sunday night

I'm gonna missing chopping everyone at the runs :)

I agree with what u said, there's an article on FF mag site somewhere about some copper interview, where he's saying they don't target nice looking cars, biggest load of BS I ever read !

Damn current affairs shows feeding ppl the wrong info :goddam:

I got chased by a fool in his VX SS when he saw me cruise by him. that obviously didn't deserve an almost powerful vehicle, he lost it in front of me on the M4 at about 7pm one night last week, spun in front of me, from my lane, then across another car in the middle lane, then a right lane bandit, missing us ALL by millimeters, then crashed into the bushes in the middle of the M4, any sooner he would have smacked the cement wall in the middle, any later and the hidden railing wouldn't have stopped him and he would have collected cars on the OTHER side of the M4

but we don't here about it on the news or in the papers coz his car is like a normal common bogan mobile and he's not classed as a HOON

gets my goat I tell u !! I like Billy, I wish they would leave my goat alone :D :looney:

sorry to rant

ed: yeh that was me, did u like your CHOP suey I served u up!! ;):D

speaking of being chased down thru the traffic ...... ;) ;)

Austin: been frozen for 30 years ey?? :D

Bronwyn here here!

Everytime I get pulled over by the police I am the most politest person ever. Never once have they shown the same courtesy. Always rude and arrogant acting like they are doing me a favour.

I am really tired of them targetting people who do drive safely and who are into cars and people who do have only minor mods.

They will never pull over a 40 year old guy driving a done up HSV .

Why ? because they dont fit the "Hoon" criteria we fall into because we are young citizens with nice cars.

We pay our taxes which in turns pays their wages. We pay fines to pay for their donuts. We pay stamp duty on rego and high premiums on our insurance because of car thieves.

We are the victims here but still we get our balls busted for doing what we enjoy.

minh, I think the low life scum who like stealing the cars we love and committing crimes with them also contribute to the fact the cops pay more attention to us than anyone else...

Not all cops are that bad....both times I've been pulled over they seemed very scared....had their hands on their guns when approaching the car....maybe next time I'll just stick both my hands out the window :eek:

EDIT: MISGSR hahaha....what are you on about :shake: :D

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
