Quick Questions..

[dyken]

hey all i got pulled over today (wasnt a suprise red p plater) i bought my car with an apexi pod filter already on it from a import dealer, i put a cold air box over it but the cop could see the pod and said that may be defectable..

my question is with the box in the pictures below is it worth a defect??

and the hole where you can see the pod what is suppose to be there?? my freind said fuel surge tank but i dont know..

anyone any ideas?? would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, a surge tank is more commonly found in the boot, so unlikely. As for the hole, im not sure, I would probably just bend up a scrap piece of aluminium, paint it black and bolt her on from under the hole (might look a bit less dodgy), and all of a sudden you will find yourself with an uncle named bob'.

wsa already planning to do that i just didnt know how i was going to do it..

im not to worried that what ever it is is not there because if it was important the car would of had major problems by now

what goes there is the charcoal canister - that's an emissions thing. Some gay compliance peoplpe, like xxx went cheap and bought these gay aftermarket charcoal cans. these f**kig big mofos are the size of a paint tin.

they hacked up my car by drillign holes into the strsut tower near the dip stick, and put that f**king big mofo there.

the stock one is where the pod sits.

yeh the part missing is a black cannister that sits there and it collects fuel vapors i think, alot of people have taken them off and no problems. a hose runs from the manifold down to the cannister usually. if u dont have a cannister the hose from the maniifold should be blocked off.

yes its the charcoal canister position, and when its missing its a defect, the pod is not fully enclosed so it too is a defect, but yeah a bit of metal will fix that. if you dont understand the concept of "fully enclosed", look at the stock airbox. u cant see the filter and its fed from outside the engine bay= fully enclosed

time to go back to the people i bought it from then if the car has defects how did it pass compliance

My car made it through the pits with a completely exposed pod filter.
