BASS is welcomed to the Canary club

[Bass Junky]

Bloody exhaust being too low.

Just lucky that I had the silencer in I guess.

No fine just have to get it fixed.

Probably the easiest I could possibly get out of it!

BASS OUT

[Wardest]

BASS OUT

Well yes, if the silencer was in then the bass would have been out.

[Bass Junky]

[R31Nismoid]

Well yes, if the silencer was in the the bass would have been out.

Wardest is back in the house i see

[Horus]

how much is the fine?

[riggaP]

Jeez the fuzz is crackin down hard! How many here in the last month?

At least no fine.

[predator]

Was it actually too low, or were they just saying that? Its always good to know exactly, then you can say "get out the ruler, I *know* its legal".. then they defect you for something else

At least no fine.

better watch it, they'll fine you for comments like that

[pushead]

pump the tyres up

[Bass Junky]

Nah, this copper was on the ball.

He was sitting on the side of the road on Springvale road on top of the Eastern freeway just watching people drive past, decided I looked as good as any, so he pulled me over up near tunstall square, and I was carefull not to park anywhere illegal!!!

Then he pulled out the breatho (at 11 am on a Sunday) and then pulled out a wodden stick with a roller on the end which is 100mm diameter. Said all the official stuff, and rolled it right under my middle muffler and sure enough its about 10 mm too low.

He checks under my bonnet for any "after market blow off valves or things like that" of which there were none.

tells me that he will give me a canary but not fine me etc. etc. and he was acutally quite reasonable.

He was in a Blue Highway "Safety Car" and knew his stuff.

Bit of a pain in the arse being done, but he couldn't have been more up front, honest, calm and actually quite a nice guy.

Anyway, time to put the stock exhaust back on!!

BASS OUT

[pushead]

im sure they have to find 3 things on your car to give you a canary. Most likely that was just a warning. gee's they are getting tight!

[Bass Junky]

Nah, its a canary, if you have three things you need to get yourself a full RWC from a mechanic.

A single thing is just a 1 minute check at Vicroads

[R31Nismoid]

And half the time they wont even check it properly anyhow

huh?!?!?! aftermarket blow off valves

Ive got a blitz one hanging off...is that illegal???

how much do i get fined

[predator]

of course its illegal if its not plumbed back (although try to explain that to the officer).. first thing another member of our forums got picked on when he got pulled over was his BOV. Both myself, and his car were inspected and erm, yeah.. all the got him on was the BOV.

They're not a good idea, and anything external cops can see/hear from a distance, or close up, they *will* ping you for it. Often the stealth approach works well.

I think the standard defect cost is $125 fine. Get 3x of them, and that BOV is costing you more than its worth.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

at least it is easily fixed

[Jamezilla]

Bad luck Bass

They are being a tad on the opressive side at the moment. Lucky it's the sticker and no fine (same as me) - just a waste of your time to get it fixed though.

I wonder how high the pursuit Monaro is?

[adznight]

That didn't take long hey! I had a friend done for the same thing. Bad luck mate.

[Bass Junky]

Such is life eh!

Could have been much much worse.

[AutoTrust]

That is a bit of a nuisance but at least there was no fine! yay!

Oh and Blade, you have 2 BOV's!! as if one is not enough!!!
