Hiya

A friend got fined in bella vista for having foglights. However, the thing is that her car (integra DC2R) does not have foglights but the cop still wrote a fine out.

Is there anything she can do?

Pretty irritating seeing we werent "hooning around" and was driving at the speed limit to a mate's place.

I bet the dump cop thought the parkies were foglights !

Write to them but it wont do you any good .

Go to court and take any evidence with you that you can prove that the car doesnt come with foggies .

Does it have "driving lights"?  Tell us the whole story.  What was the cop seeing?  They didn't just look at a piece of black plastic and say turn those lights off.

The parkies on some integra models look like foggies and they are fairly bright too .

you caan have driving lights, but only be fined if they are turned on in normal driving.

i got pulled over for an rbt one day in my subaru when i had it and the cop told me to turn them off or he'd book me for them... it had just stopped raining though. i had them on due to heavy rain.

appeal to the fine, see where that gets you. when you get a reply back, go from there.

did you get the cops name and badge?? probs told you to shut up then too.

good luck with it

cheers

since when have foglights been illegal?

Also note that the SS Commy and XR6T and XR8 highway patrol cars have foglights...standard.

They can only be used if there is poor visibillity in fog or heavy rain , they can even book you if you have them on during the day , so don't use them if there is no fog .

You can only have them on when fog is about...

guess wat guys the dumb ass cops did the same thing to me..

just tell her to write a letter to the infringement beaureu telling the story and she will get let off. just say u went to the rta and got them verified to not being fog lights..

In any occupation you do you get some sort of training

so when your are supporting or selling a product you have the product knowledge

How the hell is it that a cop can defect you but he/she/pig does not have the knowledge about the RTA rules and regulations.

If the cops did that to me I would have just gone with the flow, been polite and friendly. Then would take photos of my car, maybe even go to a honda dealer and ask them to verify that it does not have fog lights (for a laugh) and then send in a letter of appeal.

if that fails take it to court.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
