Sick Of Owning A Modified Car And The Associated Hassle

[nuttsHunglow]

Hello Manwhore how are you long time no speak Hope you are coming to the movies tonight we might even get the cuddle chairs?

[T04GTR]

yeah if i wasnt a mechanic i wouldnt dream of doing the shit that i do.

[MANWHORE]

Haha, cuddle chair

Dave (Nytsky), I've got an ecv. It does bring the noise down a lot, but what I was saying was its just the car itself that brings the attention. People have been defected even for not loud aftermarket exhausts (not really defective at all)

Get another couple of doors. Works for me.

I've been pulled over thrice. First time cos the copper just wanted to have a look cos he couldn't work out what it was (R34 4 door 3.5 years ago was a rare thing), second time I chirped 2nd gear so fair enough but he didn't book me, third time one decided that accelarating quickly from servo to 110km/h for the freeway was not allowed. No ticket but it does show that they are attracted to the noise. My car is quiet but at redline to a casual observer it just seems to them that you must have been speeding. I mean how often has some random citizen motioned to you to slow down just cos you are doing 50 in 2nd gear? It's all about perceptions.

.....every time I drive through a construction zone. And my car is relatively quiet.

I have a fair few mods (usual stuff), but the main stuff that is apparent would be the exhaust (3.25" straight pipe with no mufflers and the pod filter). My exhaust is quite loud because of the turbo, but I like it as loud as possible

lol you think thats loud. i run a pipe from turbo.. well still got cat.. but straight thru pipe.. Friends tell me its freaking loud.. but im just use it now.. hahah

Where did you get your evc from? also how much!!

Edit: Noticed you wrote straight thru pipe with no mufflers.. So i mis-read it.. Ok yours is loud as well.. But how cool does it sound eh lol??

Been pulled over a few times.. been let off for everything they have trried to imply. Have had a 5l commodore, a Gen III & now R32... all noise makers..all on my p's.

No B.S = generally no fine unless you were caught doing something stupid.

[Black Betty]

some cops are nasty some are nice. being on your p's makes a huge difference. since being on my blacks i haven't been pulled over once.

My car is quiet off boost. real quiet. 3.5" turbo back but with a cat, hotdog and rear muff. only when boost peaks and the screamer lets go its a different story. i like that better it scares the shit out of people but you can still drive around without being noticed.

also keep your car dirty. thats a good tip.

i love all the attention skyines get. people hate you for it and dick heads love you for it and you can tell them all to snort piss. i only drive mine because its the best bang my buck buys.

dont know if that makes a lot of sense, i'm a little ill and a little out of it on medication
