hey all i got canarried last night n i thought i might share what happened... i aint complaining saying i got unfairly done or whatever... i knew it was bout to happen sooner or later and last night was my night....

i was driving to my mates house in frankston and i obviously got pulled over... the cop went right through my car and got done for a few things, 1 very bad thing and i dont know how i am gonna get arround it!!!!... he got me for..

- to low

- malpassi

- exhaust

- changes to airflow meter "this was a joke!!! i argued with him for like 5 mins about it!!!, he tried telling me that i had done alterations to my airflowmeter!! because my car flutters.. and i explaind it was compressor surge and its because i have a frontmount and airfilter and no BOV.. but he wouldnt believe me he seamed to think that it was because i have guttered it or moved it or turned it around" bahahah and he knew what he was talking about because he was a chappel street cop for a few years!!! LOL ...

- partial shelf cut (i am screwed here!!!) i bought the car like that and i have no idea where to go to get an engineer to fix it.. any help would b good...

and thats about all he got... what i thought was funny is that he didnt get my larger TD06 turbo, he asked if was stock and i said yeah.. lol. my external wastegate, which sits on top of the manifold.... boost controller but thats fair well hidden... he didnt do me for cooler/filter... and my computer which was sitting on the dash!!!!! lol

i will now b spending the rest of the weekend putting it to stock!!! but i have no idea what to do about the parchel shelf!!! any1 know where to get engineers???

Has the parcel shelf been cut for some speakers???

easiest way to fix that up is to take it to a body shop, get a parcel shelf off another car and weld it in ...

Doesnt matter what the cops pick on tho, as soon as you get a canary you have to get a rwc, and the place u take it to may point out other things and look over things the cop put down on the sheet.

exhaust is noise im assuming

i wouldnt be surprised if the epa are comen to get u also :huh:

so glad i dont deal with this shit anymore...

good luck with it all

looks like ur gonna be in for it mate.

AFM mods, he obviously doesn't know THAT much. his years as a chapel street cop dealing with VLT's probably have lead him to think that flutter is because of mods to an AFM - which is true, partially. RB30ET's get that massive flutter (aka dose) when you MOVE the AFM into the cooler piping - thus eliminating it from the intake BEFORE the turbo. that way u can just run a straight pipe off the turbo, which makes for the large fluttering noise - pidgeon of death ;-) so he got his wires crossed a bit - but any mechanic who u get to do the RWC will just say 'yeh its fine' and tick the box.

but ur main concern will be the cut parcel shelf. i'm assuming it was cut to fit 6x9's. if this is the case, it is quite likely that u will need to get the car engineered. i was trying to buy a car with a cut parcel shelf and basically it came down to this - either get the parcel shelf cut out and have a new one welded in. or get metal plates welded in across the holes - and get an engineers report done.

unfortunatley for you the motorist, the police officer does not have to have any special knowledge or actual knowledge of a vehicle to defect it.

A police officer only has to suspect something is illegal to issue a defect. It is then up to you at your cost to prove that you are right, or fix the problem.

Most of the time the police officer in question would have no clue about parts, about modifications, about what is legal and what is not. It all goes back to their poor training and the forces drive to get statistics so they can be seen to be doing something.

ok, well i have spoken to an engineer from that list and all he says is i have to weld a beed around where the hole is... luckly i know how o weld and have all the tools to do it, i am going to bend up some 4mm tube in the right shape then weld it in... he said i shouldnt need a certificate.. so i will try andget the roady without it... but if he says i need one he will give it to me for $200

just wondering because i am sure this is a common problem, would u guys want me to write up a DIY and show pictures of how i have done it all so thaat u know what to do in the future???
