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

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.

:( 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!

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.

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.

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.
