well i just had some major work done on my car and there is no way i will get away with it if i pop my bonnet to a cop

i know everyone says if you drive sensibly you wont get pulled over but i think that is a load of

BS if you drive at night on the main roads where all the P platers drag and play around you will get pulled over

my question is that has anyone got any tips for avoiding a cop from popping the bonnet?

for example maybe dissconecting the bonnet pull latch and telling them its broken and i need a screwdriver to pop the latch?

i dont know what do you guys think

or has anyone got away with it before

The answer is in your question....not much you can do once they start taking snap shots.

Get a piece of canvas( fire proof) the exact size of your Engine Bay and paint a Kia Rio Engine bay on it.

More than likely the police officer will burst out into laughter and let you off.

if mod it illegally...then wtf do you expect?

Hmm.. a little harsh arnt we?

Hes asking if something can be done to prevent it, and the answer is not really lol

Unless he makes it look like a sleeper which still dusn't give you the peace of mind, or get it engineered (to make it legal) then they cant say squat but will cost you more than what your cars worth at the end of it... i think its like 2k per test lol

All i can say is if you are hardcore stressed about moding your car and getting epa'd get all your modz done make sure that the emissions are acceptable and then take ur car to get a complete test done and that will cost you approx $1300 - $3000. Once you pass this problem solved :(

Or if he is a prick, He will then give you a yellow sticker for being Un roadworthy coz ur bonnett latch is screwed and you cant open your bonnet

beat me too it!

At the end of the day, if your mods are that hard core, then they won't be engineer able, and they won't pass any emissions tests. Buy a daily, or take the risk everytime you drive your car :(

Read the sticky thread please.

Its there for a reason.

Also, the use of common sense is also appreaciated.

End of the day, drive an illegal car, there is nothing you can do to be saved

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
