Ok all, those of you who know me will know I am not a crazed 18yr old P plater with a bad attitude or bad driving record.... so this is the story from last night!
picked up my newly finished pride and joy from BEL (those guys are just amazing!!!! more to follow about there excellent work!...) and was putt putting home towards the airport, and saw a police car in the RH lane doing 40kmh.... I new I wasnt speeding, or doing anything foolish, so I thought "I can drive past this guy ( 3 lane road ) and there will not be a problem because I am well below the speed limit... ( I was doing 55 )
anyhow.... was then followed for about 3 km, safe in the knowledge that my car is quiet and I am being a good 31yr old tax paying citizen.....
THEN....
lights go on, pull over....
2 police officers, (both nice guys it turns out) ask me if I know that my car is defectable... your exhaust is too low...." of course not officer, I just picked it up from being serviced " etc etc, as always, being polite, as it is the best way to be with anyone, not just police
basically from there they went over the car, and got me on some minor things, while we chatted about the car (they loved it....) and my job...
they could have done me for a massive amount of things, but got me for basically minor things, as we all stood there 5 or 6 holden noise makers went past yelling abuse at the police.... :S go figure!
this is the list of 4 they got me for :-
-exhaust too low 60mm (yes it is too low, but the only person to get hurt by it would be my wallet if i was silly enough to smash it on something....)
-possiblly too loud, they couldnt tell but admitted it sounded great, and was not loud...
-catch can, they said they couldnt tell if it was legal or not
-filters exposed (said box them or get stock again)
so thats it!!!
now my question to you all is, can anyone help me out with an engineer at the right price to get the peice of paper I need to stop this is the future...
I have 28 days to fix these things, and would like to do it as $$$$$ (cheaply) as possible...
thanks for your input and please dont abuse the police! as these guys said "we cant tell if your a dick just driving along....sorry"
