Permits for mods

[SHUTO-BOY]

Just wondering to guys/gals with permits,

How did you get the permits?How much? Any requirements for your mods? what mods can you get a permit for? where did you apply for it?east perth?welshpool? Any help would be appreciated thanks

[MetBlue_GTST]

I got my permit from Welshpool after getting a yellow... I think it cost me $25 or something like that... I got permits for my pod, exhaust, BOV and caster rods...

[SHUTO-BOY]

25bucks is allright, i might be giving them a visit,thanks man

but is that 25 bucks for each mod?

[MrMayhem]

$28 gets you 5 items, can get multiple permit sheets.....

they shouldnt be giving anyone permits for exhausts, if you got one your a lucky man, theres a ridiculous amount of inconsistency within the perth pits regarding inspecting and permitting

[Cake]

yeah

freo pits wont give u permit for exhaust

my mate got denied, then got yellow not long after for exhaust

[MrMayhem]

Its their "wildcard" for when they can't conjure up any other reason to slap on a canary

[MetBlue_GTST]

Yep i certainly got a permit for my exhaust, it defines that my exhaust outlet is 120mm and it below the legal noise limit, same with my BOV...

[Butters]

WTF !!

I got permits for everything CEPT zorst.

Had my zorst tested and it was below limit. But the guy said we dont permit exhausts. This was east perth pits.

Damn its annoying how inconsistant this crap is !!!

Which pits you got to Metblue ??

[SHUTO-BOY]

so, they wont give permits for exhausts as, the cop wont have anything to sticker you for?

maybe its not the Db, but the actual diameter? i donno,too much inconsistency

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Aidwin, Speak to Reno, he'll tell you straight what all the rules are regarding permits, he's in Welshpool:D

[MrMayhem]

BOV is another one... atmo bov no matter how quiet shouldnt be permitable...

[GTS-t VSPEC]

BOV's are legal, but I don't think you can get permits for them. It's only major changes that affect ADR's then need permits.

[MrMayhem]

no they arent

think about it

wheres teh crank case by-pass go?

into the inlet

then you want to vent a engine gas into teh atmosphere

no way !

[Butters]

It's the DB that makes the Zorst illegal.

Cop measured mine. Said they dont permit them FULL STOP.

Too easy for you to go round corner and change it. Even though that goes for everything on your car :|

As Mayhem said, loop hole so they always got something to sticker you for.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Steve, We spoke to Reno at Welshpool, he sets all the rules, and he said they were legal:D It's just the same as echausts, if there too loud thenyou can get a yellow for them:D

[MetBlue_GTST]

Well guys i can tell you that I HAVE got a permit for my exhaust, he didn't test it, just listened to it and allowed it... I have a Blitz BOV which vents to atmo and i have a permit for that...

I think i can scan in my permit for the non-believers...

Butters: I got mine through Welshpool pits...

[MrMayhem]

I think we believe you dude..... its an example of the inconsistency and flexability of the DOT and interperataions of ADRs

I wouldnt scan it, Id laminate it and make sure its safe.

as for bovs how is it you can vent crank case gas atmo through a bov but need to recirculate it to burn it? I got teh ADRs on CD coming

Who is We vspec? do you suffer from psychitsophrenia?

[Butters]

Mayhem is right.

BOV's are technically illegal by the laws of emissions. Once Air has entered the engine via filter, legally(emissions laws) the only way it can leave is through the exhaust.

If you got a permit for one, or have been told they are legal then it is the "inDUHviduals" interpretation.

We beleive you Met-Blue. Just want some of this permit goodness for ourselves hehehehe

I am out to Welshpool soon I thinx. Can you tell me which guy you spoke to ??

[caminperth]

Butters and Mr Mayhem - all laws are up for interpretation.. Reno who is effectively the godfather of the pits and inspections for WA (so I'm led to believe) says that BOV's are legal as long as they are not too loud. Same goes for exhausts and the like. Basically he was saying that they had flexibility and as long as you hadn't done anything overly stupid you could get a permit for it.

Paul isn't crazy - he meant we as in a group of us that went to the info session.

Apparently cause I'm an engineer I can sign off on design mods. I'm sure I can find evidence somewhere to say that carbon fibre bonnets are ok..

[MrMayhem]

cam...... isnt that just what we said regarding inconsitencies, and interperation ?
