permits dont mean sh*t in my opinion......

traffic cops need to make targets, if they want to sticker you, they will.

As for getting permits, a non atmo venting bov could be permitted, an alloy wing could be presumably it would have to be within certain width/length, front mount cooler needs to be behind bumper. if it is then u dont need a permit for it at all. exhaust needs to be under 91db and have more that 100mm clearance. not sure on body kits, window tint needs to be 35 grade or lighter, and vertical doors, by which i think you mean gull wing style? they would need to be engineered id say?!

yeh at end of the day its all comes down to the mood of the guy pulling you over, they can still sticker you. The permit might or might not affect their decision. perhaps the permit makes it easier to get the yellow off? no need to convert everything to stock?

I have permits for atmo BOV, catch can, strut brace, suspension, pod, gauges, intercooler and piping

Didnt think it was possible to get permit for exhaust and ECU, maybe I'll give it a go next time.

drive normal and have the right attitude and u will have no need for permits...

if you get a yellow, take it on the chin, such is life and theres no point having a cry over it (even if it wasnt fair)

begin rant

I couldnt agree with you more Michael.

I'm not inferring anyone in this discussion does, but if you wear your ball cap contrary to manufacturers instructions (Y0), have the doof set to 11 and your chair in shuttle take-off position then you just make yourself a target. Drive like a citizen, pick your moment to impress the seat cover an maintain a low profile :fakenopic: Think carefully about the mods you want and how it\you will be percieved, when you invite attention, that's what you get.

Having said this, sometimes just owning a car and being a young person will be enough.

Life is unfair and yes, THEY :nyaanyaa: often dont know what THEY are looking at.

Rant end

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
