man

when the cops do a general licence check, u wont leave withing 5 mins, regardless if u have a brand new corrolla or highly modiefied gtr.

just sit back, ive been pulled over in my car, which is a fair bit louder than ur car most likely esp on any sort of throttle, and driven away without nuffen.

watch your attitude, altho if u have a bad driving history, cops r usually assholes to u straight away, also doesnt help when u drive an import or hoon car.

i doubt u will get an epa notice, if u do, dont stress bout it. before u go to the epa, goto an exhaust shop, get it db tested, if its over, borrow a stock cat back, and ur set

I had pretty much the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago, Cop pulled me over for a "Random Breath Test", checked my license, asked me to pop the bonnet and took a look under there, asked me if the exhaust was on it when i got it, etc... anyway then he left with a "thanks mate".. all good (or so i thought). He actually forgot to breath test me in the end :)

Yesterday I got a letter from the EPA saying i was observed on that day and "the vehicle was considered to be either excessively noisy or had a faulty exhaust system". Anyway I have to get it tested, gotta get a new exhaust system coz there's no chance that it will pass whatsoever, it's soooo loud (but i love it :)).

Just what I need at Christmas time ;)

well, that was the first time ive been pulled over so that could be my warning... the reason they pulled me over was because i was in the merging lane just had my bonnet infront of them and i speed up a little to get in front as i had right of way in the first place... so maybe they had nothing on me anyway as they were suposed to give way to me and didnt til the last minute......

they might have been hoping i dropped a gear and sunk the slipper into it. but i didnt. :) lucky!

    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
