Decc/epa Horror Stories

[sammi_d]

So this story starts in a little place called St Ives.. I was driving along Mona Vale Rd heading to work, when a HWP pulled me over to check out my car.. To cut the rest of the story short, I was allowed to drive away with a fine for ground clearance and a notice to the DECC for "noisy exhaust"..... Fun!!

For those of you that know my car, I can just imagine how close you all are to dying from your laughter.. For those of you that don't, picture this: a R33 GTST S2 that's about 99.999999% stock... Yep!! Even got the factory air box still fitted!!

So, I already know to take plenty of lube just in case.. What I want to know though is your experiences.. Anyone here had their car EPA'd? What did you go through? What was the result? Have you had any issues since? Not that I have too much to worry about, but I'd like to get some tips on what to expect/anticipate during and post DECC inspection.

Thanks in advance SAU fam!!

Not on topic, but you got done with standard suspension?

Lol!! Nope.. I've got coilovers in - part of the 0.00001% changed.. They're set high!! I was sitting low when he measured because the road he tested me on wasn't perfectly flat under the car, and my tyres were pretty flat..

But I cherish the thought "H" that if GFC 2.0 hits > the NY Stock Exchange Dow will plummet > NSW HWP & DECC will have to wear Pink!

'Tis easier to argue with Pink!
