1. Rims which are 26 mm wider than standard listed on the tyre placard.

2. Exhaust dB level.

3. Gauges that reside within the vehicle dependant on situated height.

4. Proof of tint VLT

5. POD Filter

6. Ride height

7. BOV

Just a few off the top of my head that I would like a cert for. Also in the Sydney area.

why u need a engineer's certificate buddy?[/quote:f532c6a830]

for some peace of mind when cruising. having to re-mod the car to stock to pass EPA is a very expensive exercise.

I need (i think) a certificate for: pod, ride height & fmic.

do you need to get one for oil catch can, oil cooler, strut brace & exhaust? i doubt my exhaust is louder than 90db.

oh and i've still got the factory BOV so i don't have to get a cert for that do i?

FMIC ? You need a cert for FMIC ? Which ADR does it contravene ?

BOV, POD and Exhaust are all dB limits I think due to the sound made whilst venting to atmosphere (for atmo venting BOVs) and the induction noise of a non enclosed intake such as a cold air box. Alot of people are of the opinion that BOV and POD are due to gas emissions, however the RTA states it is the sound emission ADR that they are in breach of.

Is your BOV atmo venting or plumbed back ? Also with the exhaust you may as well get everything you can on the cert. If it's the difference between you going happily on your way after being pulled over, or having a canary just because the cop THINKS it's louder than 90 dB (they only have to THINK to lay a canary, and we all know this is not their strong point).

Hehehe, yeh it's the Vehicle Standards Information PDF No. 02 - Registered Signatories :lol: I just like getting personal references from people who have had the work done at a good price. Linked it below for anyone else that is after a look -

I'm still after personal references though as I'm more than happy to give my business to blokes who do a good job.

I'm a second tier tech support monkey for Dingoblue's porting management group (MNP/MNT) and due to our closure being imminent, apart from repetitive tasks such as running batches of cancellations (which takes about 15 mins if I drag it out) I have the whole day to myself. I've always been after a job where they pay me to do what I like.

Unfortunately it's getting so god damn boring I think I'll resign before they give me my redundancy :wink:

You work in a position which supports a product that becomes redundant and then decides it will continue on, and make sure no-one else knows your job. That way everyone leaves the company, however due to contractual agreements with the provider of your mobile services, these services must remain active for a period of time, and therefor you have a position which must remain active yet has minimal workload due to lacking of customer base.

The best part is writing out the processes for the next poor sod who will replace me once my position is redundant, as I'm going to make them as vauge as can be and god help them if they expect anything more :!:

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
