Clearing A Defect

[VB-]

well i dunno, maybe the guy doin it isnt completely up to date or whatever, but we havent specifically organised a dodgy one. does anyone in this thread do roadworthies by any chance? maybe we could clear up some details. what is it baout pods exactly thats illeagle? i always thought if they were boxed it was ok, like that ARC one? provifing its a dry element filter etc...

The problem isn't the pod, but the fact that there is 2 intake mods...i.e a pod is fine (so long as its not an oiled element IIRC), and a front mount on a car that didn't come from the factory with one is fine, but a pod and a fmic isn't...

If you were to put a pod on an Evo 8 for example, it's only 1 intake mod (as they have a front mount standard) and is therefor legal

Its illegal.

Read the EPA thread, which just so happens to be s sticky thread aswell.

Surprise :sorcerer:

So end of the day, if you do get a RWC, you could be put off the road as soon as you leave VicRoads

[stolen_s15]

andru has organised a roadworthy, a legit one, we've (me and andrew) have asked the guy if a custom airbox will be legit and he told us it would be, as long as its boxed up.

In the end I have found that whats legal and what they will clear are two different things. The fact remains that 2 intake mods are illegal and even if it gets cleared this time, any TMU cop who picks andru up next time will defect him for the exact same thing. In saying that I suggest you try Burwood VicRoads to get the defect cleared, they are.................sympathetic. Particularly around closing time on a Friday.

Good Luck

ok ok everyone is having a fit because its 'illeagle'. go read the first post, HE WANTS TO GET THE DEFECT CLEARED WHICH IN THIS CASE, A CUSTOM AIRBOX WILL DO.

wow man cry me a river....damnnn....chill out man......dont have to get all serious lol, listen mate all u have been doing is giving me answers to questions i havnt asked, i asked for a air box maker, not about wether its legal or not.....im sorry if ive offended you in any way JVP lol.....

i can read mate, but i can also ignore

lol

that last comment pretty much sums up whats going on here.

you ignore the information given to you.

Actually no, you said you wanted one to clear a defect. You cant actually clear a defect with one... which is what people are trying to inform you.

But as usual, your more interested in spamming posts and not reading

couldnt have made it any clearer.

Okay. how about i do you a deal then.

I'll just ban you. Then we never have to see another muppet thread of yours again?

lol

that would be good.

lol u guys just wait, im gonna be holding the RWC in my hands, standing next to my car, and pointing to the air box, and we will see if it clears or not. but come on guys can we have some shop names?>????

[JVP]

goodluck.

Jesus titty f**king.

Regardless of anDru being a retarded git pull your f**king heads in. You know it will pass even if it's not technically legal. He actually asked a pretty simple question which only required a simple answer, nothing more. I am so sick of people jumping on their high horse and pointing out useless bullshit when they know for a fact their own cars have umpteen illegal modifications.

Why aren't you all posting up a storm in every thread that mentions illegal modifications? Where's your righteous fury in the cosmetic mods section? The business traders section? Just STFU.

Cutting the back out of the snorkal - modification

Different Intercooler - modification

Different pipes - modification

Redirecting pipes - modification

Non-paper filter - modification

See the problem? Technically any of the popular FMIC kits are not legal and yet SHOCK f**kING HORROR will pass roadworthy.

[JVP]

lol

ease up old son...

Please do.

Then im gonna send it to the EPA just for shits and giggles.

The above are actually legal. Save for an oiled filted which is also clearly listed as unapproved. (only one ive removed was chopping a snorkel)

The only issues listed are the I/C & Pod in combination. The piping is not flagged as an issue, nor is a panel filter so long as its not oil.

So all of whats listed up there is actually 100% legal in the eyes of VicRoads & the EPA, so in actual fact, its not problem at all.

Thats all "technically" speaking of course, seeing as though you wanna get into technicallities.

Make sure you do your homework kiddies

(a) Open element or pod type air cleaners on

carburetted vehicles are not permitted.

(b) Dry element pod type air cleaners are

permitted on EFI vehicles. Oiled, oil-soaked or

fluid-treated elements are not permitted. Any

sensors integral to the original system must

be retrofitted to the same approximate

location.

© Intercoolers that are larger than standard or

have a different mounting location or are

added where none were originally fitted, are

permitted only if no other changes to the

intake system have been made. In other

words, you may have a pod filter or

modified/added intercooler, but not both.

Any sensors integral to the original intercooler

or intake system must be retrofitted and be in

the correct location.

Note: aftermarket turbocharging kits that

include intercoolers that have been type

tested (ADR certified) for the model vehicle

are permitted. Documentary proof must be

retained to substantiate this.

(d) Airflow meters must not be disconnected.

They may be relocated, provided they are

functionally equivalent and are in the same

approximate location.

(e) Modified or aftermarket plenum chambers or

throttle bodies are not permitted.

Grey enough to get a roadworthy and a defect. It definately does not give the all clear for any intercooler set-up as long as you don't have a pod. I think their use of 'pod' was misplaced and should have been 'Open element'.

Anyone with some common sense would say that and also mean it in real life off the forums as well.
