epa in ballarat


Recommended Posts

looks like the epa guys are down in ballarat at the moment,

I got pulled up last night and the cop told me to follow him down to their testing station, I failed with my exhaust they said I have to be under 90 decibels but I got 99 so I have 28 days to get it fixed.

Just a word of warning to you Ballarat fellers.

It was raining in Melbourne last night.....

did it rain in Ballarat? Because they can't perform the test if it's raining, so if it was raining, then I'd be following ip the legality of the test. (this would also give you a bit of time to install a restrictor plate;) )

But..... in a way, the fact that they had their own testing station is a good thing; around Melbourne you have to take your car to an approved tester, and pay to have the test done. :)

It had been raining but it wasnt when they did the test, they were actually quite good about it all i suppose because they were going to fine me and canary the car but i stayed polite to them and it was the first time ive been tested so they skiped all that this time and said to fix it and get it tested again.

    • Jax Tyres this Monday morning. Front lifted 15mm Back lifted 12mm Quote1, $175 per tyre + wheel alignment. Quote2, $660 inc wheel alignment. paid $298 for the lot.  
    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
