i was pulled over recently @ a defect blitz in the city (one of many going around at the moment) but lucky i had my standard exaust on for a while now and only need put my stock airbox on in place for the pod filter, the police officer took a photo of my engine bay and told me if the EPA want to see my car in person ill get a letter.

So, he didn't say i will get one, he told me maybe, they let me off too, top cops.

I hope they are too busy to even bother.

man whats going on the EPA are now the one's issueing and telling people whats RWC and whats not this ant wirte. i have being told that you can only get a RWC tester to state what is un-RWC and RWC on a car not the cops or the EPA if i get EPAed and they say my pod and other bits and pices are illegal ill thell were to put it. my reason be hind this is the EPA is responserble for the enviroment not the RWCness of a car :)

I must have been lucky too,

Perhaps with the amount of police sending imports and the similar turbo sports cars through places like macleod, the employees are getting slacker, over worked?

that would be a nice scenario...

on the other hand, when i was there the blokes were really friendly and if you treat them with some respect it goes a long way.

goodluck.

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
