Horus Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Well my bad luck continues I got defected today Pod or intercooler to be removed, and battery to be secured The cop was really decent about it, I dont need a roadworthy, I didnt get a fine, and I can drive the car till the 30th and its a minor, not a major Oh well these things happen Im seriously thinking about going back to the stock airbox with a panel filter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56584-d-d-d-d-d-deeefected/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Yes, only one change allowed as per Mr EPA. Stock airbox with intercooler is the go IMO...

ferni Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I think its because most people who have a POD just have it sitting there without a proper CAI - i assumed the same until i read the post where you said otherwise. Stock airbox is good less defects, power increase from a POD would be so small if at all, so not worth it IMO.

Horus Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 yer fair call the whole reason I got the CAI is so I could avoid defects!!! too late now Just spoke to benny the defect is being cleared on wednesday, and Im getting the stock airbox put on, with a K&N panel filter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56584-d-d-d-d-d-deeefected/#findComment-1095660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 your luck is starting to get almost as good as mine back last year when i got defected, EPA'ed and then crashed into in about 2 weeks... lets hope this is not the start of the VIC curse for your car! Better get those voodoo mofos to sacrifice some chickens on your car or something before its too late! guess its the last week of the month, have to expect the revenue police to be out in force. Pretty much a "why bother" defect though, other than the funds.. the sphincter of the universe munchers!

Ait Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Horus, I suggest you get yourself an APS CAI. It's just a small pipe extension that juts out from the stock airbox. You need someone to cut a hole for you on the S15 airbox though. The end of the extension goes into the hole where the radiator overflow bottle is located (right hand side looking towards passenger's side). There's a high pressure airflow point there with air coming in from the headlights area. It does wonders, I had one put on my S14, could feel the instant throttle response straightaway. Don't worry, it's the same item for the S14 and S15, even the airboxes are the exact same. ON hard throttle you'll hear the 'swhooosh' sound but it's still softer then the POD, and it'll keep you out of trouble because it's still using the stock airbox and it isn't exposed.

Laurence Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 well how can they defect you for the pod then?if its proper CAI it should be boxed up, then they cant pin you for it as its in an enclosure The EPA only allow ONE intake modification. It doesn't matter how legit your CAI is if you have an FMIC.

inark Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 seems to be the most missed point of this whole thread... dont u people read? and modifying ur stock box counts as a MOD... so if the cop wanted to be anal u could still be raped if u modified the stock box.
