Can someone please confirm that is it a defect to have a NOS bottle in car but not connected and also can I complain against the cop if he breaks the BOV cover? I had my BOV covered with a sheet but the cop broke it….And is it defect to have a big rear view mirror? Though I didn’t get the defect coz the cop broke the BOV cover and I argued with him but he is always in my area so that he can defect me next time…

Help needed!!!

I'd just leave it.

Dude you've got NOS attached to your car, obviously if he wanted to screw you he would have, but because he broke the sheet, he's let you go.

I'd say that's the only reason he let you go.

why do you wanna carry the bottle when its not hooked up, if u crash and the bottle get punctured and sparked, then u r ****ed, u'd be better off leaving the bottle @ home when not using it, almost like carrying unneccesary jerry-cans around, it just a risk

Not sure about that Bass, I've heard that it's ok to have a full NOS setup but the bottle must NEVER be in the car on the road, even if your driving to the drag's etc. It must be transported in another car. Best to check with your states road authority.

Another point, you are right that it's not the best idea but a common misconception is that NOS is flammable. Nitrous oxide by itself is non-flammable. However, the oxygen present in nitrous oxide causes combustion of fuel to take place more rapidly.

This wasn't really helped by a particular movie :kick:

I would *think* it'd all come down to how much he reasonably suspected there was something illegal in the cover. I mean if you have drugs in the seat they'll rip apart the seat no prob we all know that but does it extend to defects I'm not sure.

If the cover wasn't purely there to hide the BOV then I'd go complain - if anyone law or not broke stuff on my car i'd take it further - it's a man's car you don't mess with it no matter what :P

On the other hand you're defectable so maybe you should just cop it sweet - remove the bov if you're worried. (they're a pleb in the uniform, you're the pleb without and all that... )

Hi Flowed turbo, front mount intercooler, upgraded fuel pump, APEXi FC, upgrade clutch, intake, 3.5 inch exhaust, SPARCO race seats, 18 inch STICH wheels, 240Kw@wheels, NOS system...i've added few more pics of my car in my profile.... i am thinking of upgrading it to 400 KW now....

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
