gps is illegal anyway, same as a dvd player. There are lots of laws they don't enforce.

The things they got you for are all legit, tires is just STUPID, BOV off for flutter=noise polution and makes the car run shit...

I have been pulled over at random times when heading down to rye for the weekend(3am on friday nights lol), been in my gf's supra, and they never checked the car, and were all nice guys.

well they r not goin to pull me inot a roadworth station and not check my car are they, of the 5-8 cops that were goin over my car there were good and bad ones.. they had to get me for somthing... it was my stupid trust zorst that got the attention and got me pulled in, plus the black rims so it didnt quite look like a volvo anymore... in the end they didnt even pick on the zorst.. tyres i didnt know were unroadworthy.. i dont check them every morning...

Your dvd player is legal - as long as the screen is disabled when you take the handbrake off. You arent allowed to have a screen in the drivers line of sight that is operational while the car can be moving. Handbrake trigger switch - 9/10 dvd players have a wire out the back for such a purpose. If it has just been run straight to a ground point, ur screen can constantly be on. Not allowed.

You should be allowed to NOT run a BOV. It sounds like you just have a cover plate over the mounting point on the inlet? As long as there is nothing that vents directly to atmosphere there should be no problem to my knowledge, but am happy to be corrected there. They cannot say that the flutter noise is noise pollution - it is not loud or constant enough. Seen that one fought and won many a time.

As far as the Xenons go - yeah as above. Legal, as long as they self clean and level. If they dont, say goodbye.

could do the coke can thing once the defect is cleared? looks like a bov, but won't sound like one...

whats the coke can thing? you actully going to mount a coke can in place of your bov?

and secondly about hdi lights. auto leveling system my arse. i live out near hunter valley vineyards and i can ashure u the auto levling system dosen't work on any car on the goat track roads we have around here. many a time i have been travling home with a high class european car following me and i think it's a cop, cos it looks like blue and red high beams flashing me in the rearview mirror. no one around here is going to be smart enough to tell the diffrence between mine and a bmw. just tell the cops i thought they where converted in complicing if they askor tell em they have auto levelling. and if your comming to a defect station or rbt put your dvd screen away.(nobrainer)

you use the metal from a cut up can inside the BOV... do a search on it for pix

Coke can thing - i found this.

What you do is remove your factory bov. You will find a gasket that is used to seal it to ur intake pipe. Basically, using this gasket as a template, cut a coke can to bits so you can use the aluminium sheeting to create another gasket but without the hole in the middle for ur bov. Then mount your BOV back with this in place and voila you have a foactory looking setup that is really a dose pipe.

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
