Legal/illegal?

[RBFIRE]

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?

I am thinking of geting a pillar to hold my boost gauge.

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

cheers,

darrien

AFAIK A pillar is illegal because the instrument (in your case the boost guage) is above the standard speedo/tacho cluster.

Where did u get defected? was it sitting there for the world to see or was it hidden away and the cops were prying around in the engine bay?

I didnt get defected for a boost gauge,

he pulled me over and pop the bonet,

got defected for:

- POD, need to box it

- After market Boost controller

- not standard exahust

just asking about a pillar because i thinking of geting 1,

the boost controller sit in my engine similar to this, execept my hose and boost unit is all black

I did NOT know boost controller is defective,

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

does any one know for sure about the pillar mount?

I asked at the shop who sold me one and he said they were legal but I think the mofo was just spinning me BS to sell me one

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...

wow the xops must know a lot abt cars to notice yout tvalve...

yah,

darn, cops knows alot these days,

it was not obvious the in the pic,

cos my was all black, hose, clamp, boost unit itself is all black, but he picked it out.

he must be a car enthusiatic as well, hehe

[siddr20]

how much was the fine??

what was wrong with your exhaust?? it didnt sound loud that day i came up to pick the rims..

[RBFIRE]

NO fine was issued,

- exhaust not standard,

that wat he puts down, didnt said it was loud.

gona get it tested, if it below 90db, hehhee, that shall shut them off from now ON.

but i got a silencer, ready, Bought from DANR33, (its good to have a back up plan)

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