And I wish I'd seen this.

I was one of the unlucky ones, Skyline EPA'ed for exhaust noise.

They were outside Ringwood Mazda and pulling all the cars into the carpark. Booze bus, drug bus and EPA station.

Sorry to hear that Juliette! :yes:

As am I. Not happy about being tested near a wall. The letter is in the mail and I've gotta think about how to quieten it down a little. At least I wasn't fined I guess.

Yer that sounds like a load of BS because it say that you must be tested in a clear open environment and the machine must be stable 1m away from the car.....

On the positive side (for U) i had a made get an 600 dollar fine for that and then as he was about to drive out got pulled into the TMU RWC bay lol slapped a major with another 400 for an un roady vechile.

Conclusion: Expensive night out :yes:

Ouch. The EPA guy was reasonable about it, said he wasn't going to fine me because my car was otherwise stock mechanically and I had told him that straight up. I suppose having a pleasent attitude towards him helped. While I was going through the formalities the police from the booze bus came over and offered me chocolate (lol)

I'm not disputing my car might be a little bit over (as I mentioned only 1dB over on acceleration in a questionable test environment) but I didn't think it was that much louder on acceleration - they showed me 96dB, but I think that may have had something to do with the sound bouncing off the wall. I've got a while to fix it (I think 28 days from when I receive the letter)? Either way it's over, but not by much. I haven't had any trouble in the last 2-odd years of owning the car.

im from montrose and latly, since yarra tmu moved to lilydale police station there have been so many booze/drug busses with vic roads attached. stealth mode ppl lets keep up the reports of where these vic roads traps are! p.s not in anyway supporting drink driving if u do that you deserve to get caught.

No doubt your lack of round tail lights helped you out :-p

lol but the freaking sound this thing makes is ye...not one a standered magna would make lol

and ye that sucks Juliette. what did it read? and sorry to say this but if it was over the limit when they tested you then you will get a fine in the mail along with a notice to get your car checked and tested again. this is what i went through a while back. got tested at 96db and 1 week later a fine in the mail and notice to get it tested again once returned to stock.

So they are giving out fines with DB tests now? the only epa for noise i've had were those "an officer doesnt like your car and couldn't dick you for anything at the time so here is your epa in the mail" and they never have fines attached

When I'm on Night shift I set up Road Blocks at a certain place on THU/FRI/SAT Nights for RBT site and EVERY time get a drink driver within the first 5 cars. It's all about when and where you set up. It's also scary that 1 in 5 cars over limit at that location around 4 am

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
