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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
