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.

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

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.

Mesh

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.

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...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
