I just got the unifilter airbox!

got the pod and box as one

theres a group buy here also - check duncans sig.

As Ive said - Ive had highway patrol look at it and didnt care - he did say though

"Gee's, you are game having that there, wouldnt it catch on fire?"

me - "umm...its actually an airbox and made to resist heat"

him -"oh....right...umm...is that a factory blow off valve"

me - yes :)

and regards to sound and spool - mine with and without the box sounds the same!

Sorry .. Does steering include a aftermarket steering wheel? I.E no air bag?

if your car came with a airbag in the steering wheel as standard, then it is a defect to replace the steering wheel with an aftermarket one

PPL FFS! I freaking searched both sites alright. Reason I made this post is because I am paranoid about losing any points, I have 2 more months to go before I get all my points back so I dont want to risk it. Plz note, one of the guys I spoke to about this was telling me how he LOST his 3 points cos of the pod defect and now he only has 1 point left etc etc. So the first thing I did was search RTA and SAU was second. I dont give 2 toss about the fine as long as I dont lose any points.

Hey... I wasn't having a go at you! I understand where you are coming from! The search engine can be finnicky with what words you use! It was the way others replied to a post.

Anyways if you are after an airbox... check this out... I got one on my car and it is not difficult to modify if you have different intake pipe .. .. I just shaved mine out a little.. The only thing is its cut to suit the small charcoal canisters and not the large ones I have seen on some lines!

ok. basicly anything that is not standard needs to be engineered from a legel standpoint.

and points for decects??? news to me. just like there is no points for driving an unregoed car. just a massive fine. for repeat ofences mayby???? but i t really depends on whos doing the busting. what if its not your car? fines yes, points i dought it. but will check

well thats pretty gay. so they cancel your rego too like they used to?? bastards

Back to the issue at hand, definatley no points for a Pod Filter, it is only a defective equipment ticket for $77 and a Defect Notice (no fine involved with D.N.).

The main issue with a Pod filter is the emission (noise issue) that the filter creates through the system. ie; less restriction as you know on the engine usually transfers as more noise out the back. The best way to tackle the issue of a Pod filter if the person really wants one (as you know if they are in the engine bay with no shielding from the engine bay heat and no cold air ducting then you may aswell not have it under there. Box it up

hmm.. the fine for having a pod is $150.. well that was 2 years ago.. i don't think they'd have taken it down... these people only increase fines :thumbsup:

and brick - yuummm!!!!!!

Does sound weird but My best friend who works Highway Patrol in the Hunter valley just emailed me this information so for the fine to increase there must be add ons like in unsecured pod or too loud etc which I would believe that this would increase the fine.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
