If anyone has Zoom issue 146, you can read my 2 page article on page 96 Everyone can breathe easy now, just hopefully the government will learn from their mistakes, cos no doubt that failure of a testing regime cos the tax payer thousands...

syfon Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The emissions test the wa government had put in place for modified vehicles has been stopped.

StealthX Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 sorry for being uneducated. can someone please explain this in normal persons speak?? the IM240 test is/was an emissions test. Basically it was stupidly hard to pass (some cars from failed the test from the factory) and there was only one place in WA that could perform the testing. It costs anywhere from $900 for a standard 4cyl small car, to $3000+ If you fail and need work done to pass it. Another thing is the place that performed the testing wasn't run by the government, so can be pretty unfair. Also they only have a 2WD dyno so full time AWD cars like evos, wrxs, landcruisers etc couldn't be tested! It was just another bit of ammo that the cops could use to attack modified car enthusiasts, cos any exhaust or performance modifications needed to be tested!

SoFreshSoClean Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Great news for WA enthusiasts. IM240 was a fricken joke. I heard about a guy who spent 10k passing a N/A S14 silvia!!

R32 Driver Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Did S14s even come in NA? Thought they only came in turbo? 10k is worth as much as the car lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/327693-im240-has-finally-been-stopped/#findComment-5331605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did that place also sold their own 'special CATs' that you will 'magically' pass if you buy it from them?

Lol what a joke! I even heard rumors of a special cam design for Holden 5L and 355 strokers that were advertised to make stupid power levels and still be compliant...
