Hi,

I got defected for an after market BOOST controller, (i got a simple T piece unit)

so that make that is illegal to have on the car.

my question is: a Pillar illegal?

Maybe i just gona mount it where the radio used to sit.

cheers,

darrien

dammit, i have hidden my boost controller in the hope that it won't be spotted in the event of a search. Its an avcr, put controller in the glove box and assumed cops wouldn't know what to look at under bonnet. Bummer, may have underestimated them

Anyway i'm pretty sure a-pillar mounts are illegal as Wink said cause they're above the dash. It would prolly depend on what policeman u got looking too i guess

the A pillar gauges have to be outside of the area of head impact zone...in short...not higher than your cluster....other than that it's illegal...

It was a Minor defect, i can get it clear by AIS, that give pink slip. so i reckon it shouldnt be too hard,

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
