man

when the cops do a general licence check, u wont leave withing 5 mins, regardless if u have a brand new corrolla or highly modiefied gtr.

just sit back, ive been pulled over in my car, which is a fair bit louder than ur car most likely esp on any sort of throttle, and driven away without nuffen.

watch your attitude, altho if u have a bad driving history, cops r usually assholes to u straight away, also doesnt help when u drive an import or hoon car.

i doubt u will get an epa notice, if u do, dont stress bout it. before u go to the epa, goto an exhaust shop, get it db tested, if its over, borrow a stock cat back, and ur set

I had pretty much the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago, Cop pulled me over for a "Random Breath Test", checked my license, asked me to pop the bonnet and took a look under there, asked me if the exhaust was on it when i got it, etc... anyway then he left with a "thanks mate".. all good (or so i thought). He actually forgot to breath test me in the end :)

Yesterday I got a letter from the EPA saying i was observed on that day and "the vehicle was considered to be either excessively noisy or had a faulty exhaust system". Anyway I have to get it tested, gotta get a new exhaust system coz there's no chance that it will pass whatsoever, it's soooo loud (but i love it :)).

Just what I need at Christmas time ;)

well, that was the first time ive been pulled over so that could be my warning... the reason they pulled me over was because i was in the merging lane just had my bonnet infront of them and i speed up a little to get in front as i had right of way in the first place... so maybe they had nothing on me anyway as they were suposed to give way to me and didnt til the last minute......

they might have been hoping i dropped a gear and sunk the slipper into it. but i didnt. :) lucky!

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
