EPA, here we come again

[Guest Robo's]

Well after getting pulled over by the friendly police officer for a "routine vehicle inspection", i got my letter last night to attend the EPA in Victoria.

So i will disconnect my bleed valve and run a straight hose to the actuator, Hide my SAFC behind the ashtray, and change my cat to a smaller size and stuff some steel wool in it.

I might actually ring them coz this is starting to jack me off, as i have a new job and work in the professional industry, i dont find taking half a day off to present my vehicle to the EPA just because mr policeman thought there might be something wrong with it.

Hmmm, there is nothing wrong with it, yet you need to spend 1/2 a day bringing it back to legal status?

doesnt this just prove that mr policeman might have been thinking correctly?

[Guest Robo's]

If i didnt have to change my cat convertor, it would take me 5 minutes.

The epa test is a joke and piece of piss to pass.

[R31Nismoid]

keep a log book.

thats what im going to start doing. That way you have some stuff to fall back-on later.

ie, harrasment etc etc.

I get pulled over 2-3 times per week, cant wait till i go to court next for whatever reason and bring out my book of "random checks"

As for the EPA, if the car was legal (yours aint) i could understand your issues.

Police report you echaust and it might have been 2 db under at a check a week earlier.

Maybe some class action or something? I dont see why we should pay to satify Brack's revenue raising

[KamikazeR33]

riot perhaps?

we havent had one in a few yrs that isnt soccer related

[fatz]

lol

were you wearing a baseball cap when you were pulled over?

if yes sucked in!

if no... the police are pricks

[Guest Robo's]

Personally the police couldnt see anything wrong with it, so they are sending me off to the experts. Last time at the EPA, i didnt even disconnect the bleed valve and it passed. I got done on noise by 2db which is a bugger.

[fatz]

so hat or no hat?

[Guest Robo's]

No hat, im in my 30's

Well at least i didnt cop a canary like last time and a fine for driving an unroadworthy car. Thats the reason i took the blow off off and too make the coppers job harder to give me a fine or sticker.

I've tried to keep my engine bay as stock as possible. Even my Catch is painted black, the Intercooler is black.. and if a pig too smart I might throw in a couple Black Eyes for FREE!

Seriously, What can you do! Pretty much nothing, unless we organise a protest & block parliment house. Now that would be site and a half.... The city blocked by hoons, modded imports, what the heck even some Commowhores aswell.

EDIT: If truckies can get away with, why not the Hoons.

so hat or no hat?

If the hat was backwards fullysick style then it would be even more sucked in.

Maybe a group letter to Bin Laden to polish off bracks might be the answer?

Seriously, imagine if we organised as many car clubs eg: subaru, nissan, toyato honda, mazda etc etc.. in every state and held the protest all on the same day! Then held another protest 2 weeks later, but each state would do it on a different day! That would equal about 1months worth of media, which would have to impact some law changes. Otherwise we can all just sit hear whinging about the cops, EPA, and ADR crap.

[INASNT]

But it would be easier to just kill bracks and be done with it.

We would prob all get canaried at the protest, or get nasty epa letters 2 weeks later

[predator]

yeah.. i reckon if you did you'd get an EPA notice just for dumping his putrid carcass in a river somewhere and polluting the environment with his absolute s.hit..

if i get much more fed-up...

this could well come into play i reckon.

the support would be MORE than the tree-huggers...

MORE than the poor victimised mothers association

MORE than the scholl teachers

just think if you could get HALF of the people owning modified carrs in vic there...

[Zombie]

I dont reckon it would be the smartest idea. Cops would just defect and epa everyone there, and probably get parking tickets and various other fines.
