the fine is $10000 for u and $40000 for the wprkshop that did it. or something like that

What part of max fine don't you understand.

I received 1 point and $75 and had to take my car to the Police once I had the exhaust fixed to clear it.

I ended up just de registering the car as it was sold anyway and paid the fine :)

and yes, i'm having screamers and no cat's :)

Your my hero shane :)

If you want have a screamer that the average grunt wont be able to spot get the outlet extended to run along your exhaust so it looks like it comes back plumbed in. That will confuse most piggys however noise pollution fines will still come!

If you want places, any custom exhaust place will do them for you. CES is one, but its better just to get a split dump that is plumbed in n e way, as there is no real perfomance gain out of them, and atleast it solves all legality reasons, if you want noise get the right exhaust and the right material for the exhaust if you want more noise get stainless intake pipe and apexi pod that way you can be happy

Good luck

Oh please get them shane :) VOTE 1 dob shane in for undue noise :) j/k

did u get fined by the cops or was it the epa. if the epa go over ur car u will find that i might be right

does any1 know where to get the already made 1s?. just jap was meant to be getting them over 6 weeks ago but doesnt look like there coming.

i cant send pms now for some reason. i write it out and push send and it doesnt com up in my sent items and never get replies back so id say they dont work. may just be this computer

improve gas flow

I mean to ask why does he need one... What makes him think it will help...

As an external venting wastegate pipe from a stock turbo will not seal properly from the main dump...

It will affect the back pressure on the turbine and hence cause it to take longer to spool. So infact it will not improve his situation...

Also its highlly illegal...

shuddup fool and let the man have his fun ;)

maximum of $10,000.

same as having a gutted cat.

emissions, flames, noise pollution...

ah crap. even before the engine build i had a no cat, flames & well over the legal db limit. I really wanted a screamer but i guess the amount of defects my car will have i really dont need the extra attention. I know sau doesnt support defective cars but i know i'm not alone on this situation

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
