not sure where you are, but Dan @ Midas Brighton works on quite a few imports, he could probably sort out your exhaust, or at least give you an honest opinion on what can/can't be done to it.

I'm surprised about them taking photographs of engine bays unless it's for evidence of offence which EPA is not.

I just worked traffic car shift tonight and very surprised at how well everyone was behaving. Only gave out 10 fines with the worst offender an unlicensed driver doing 40+km/h over speed limit but she was running late to her shift at the Brothel.

Did she offer a free "full service" to get out of the fine? :devil:

lol

i was on my way back home from church which is like a 5min drive, doing 60 down a 70 road. this marked car going the opposite way spots me, puts his lights on, runs a red light does a u-turn comes speeding towards me and tells me to pull over.... yeah just doing his job ha lol

oh well

Stud road last night about 10:30?

The TMU around Knox ALWAYS take photo's, they obviously want to be thorough and make sure that there is no discrepancy.

lol at spare tyre comment, some cars don't even come with them from factrory, 206 GTi being one of them, instead they come with a can of that green tyre repair goo. Next they'll defect you for running a space saver on your car because it's a different width to the other tyre on the same axle! lol at stupid heavy handed cops!

We don't have these problems in the west!

Do you know if it was TMU or just joe plod, most joe plods would know very little about this sort of thing so i wouldnt be surprised if they take pictures to show TMU to see if they can find something wrong.

yeh i had photos taken then gotta epa a couple weeks after..

more importantly...

PICS OR BAN!

come on everyone is thinking it..

lol @ you dildos driving your imports on the Easter weekend!

The amount of cops up here is making it look like Melbourne almost! Thank god I've got the 1200 to drive around in!

Yeah I read this morning's Herald Sun headlines, it appears that baby boomers are reaching the age of senility early.

I'd just not drive or go cruising, dunno about down there, but up here the TMU has a field day on anyone who's stupid enough to bring out their modified cars (except of course for wankers in their "muscle cars")...

used to be good driving my very loud SS in Melb, had NSW rego which for 99% of Victorian cops was too much trouble to give defects out to :devil:

The police officer who took the photo of my engine bay told me that the picture is for the EPA, if the EPA see something in the pic that they want to see in person, they will send me a letter to go to Macleod.

i dont think u will get a warning you'll either get told to go epa for test or nothing.. but i doubt it will be nothing. Almost any place can tuck ur exhaust i went to flexifit in hoppers crossing but yeh try another shop it can always go higher :)

yeh itll be the breather filter thats got ya stuffed..

epa wont do u for the hole in the chassis the cops will do u for that.

I got a warning, telling me to put part back to standard (Cooler or airbox), maybe because it was my first EPA, who knows, they were probably swamped with cars to test.

i was on my way back home from church...

y-y-y-y-y-y-y-mean, y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-you d-d-d-d-d-din't ask h-h-h-h-h-h-h-him if h-h-h-h-h-h-he w-w-w-w-w-w-w-wouldn't l-l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-t-t-t-t-to b-b-b-b-b-b-buy a bible? :)

They'll sometimes scare ya with those EPA things, got told i'd have an epa in the mail.. 2-3 months later still nothing..

Depend how lazy they are. I've had the same thing but I've also had an epa notice and the cop didn't even mention it :)

yeh spoton russman some threatin you and nothing comes of it others just suprise you

I prefer threats anyday haha.

Funny thing was that my V8 commodore was ridiculously loud and an EPA would have been fine so I would have an excuse to put a muffler on it. That notice never came...

Then the suprise EPA on the skyline was a nightmare!

Is there some sort of law that allows them to take a picture of the engine bay in your car

I havent heard about it, did they ask your permission to do that

they took pictures inside my car as well.. i think it would come under evidence gathering for illegal / unroadworthy mods.. as if your gonna argue with them though really they'll just get the baton right up ya if u do

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
