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.

      Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...

      I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too.

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
