epa in ballarat


Recommended Posts

looks like the epa guys are down in ballarat at the moment,

I got pulled up last night and the cop told me to follow him down to their testing station, I failed with my exhaust they said I have to be under 90 decibels but I got 99 so I have 28 days to get it fixed.

Just a word of warning to you Ballarat fellers.

It was raining in Melbourne last night.....

did it rain in Ballarat? Because they can't perform the test if it's raining, so if it was raining, then I'd be following ip the legality of the test. (this would also give you a bit of time to install a restrictor plate;) )

But..... in a way, the fact that they had their own testing station is a good thing; around Melbourne you have to take your car to an approved tester, and pay to have the test done. :)

It had been raining but it wasnt when they did the test, they were actually quite good about it all i suppose because they were going to fine me and canary the car but i stayed polite to them and it was the first time ive been tested so they skiped all that this time and said to fix it and get it tested again.

    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
