i was pulled over recently @ a defect blitz in the city (one of many going around at the moment) but lucky i had my standard exaust on for a while now and only need put my stock airbox on in place for the pod filter, the police officer took a photo of my engine bay and told me if the EPA want to see my car in person ill get a letter.

So, he didn't say i will get one, he told me maybe, they let me off too, top cops.

I hope they are too busy to even bother.

man whats going on the EPA are now the one's issueing and telling people whats RWC and whats not this ant wirte. i have being told that you can only get a RWC tester to state what is un-RWC and RWC on a car not the cops or the EPA if i get EPAed and they say my pod and other bits and pices are illegal ill thell were to put it. my reason be hind this is the EPA is responserble for the enviroment not the RWCness of a car :)

I must have been lucky too,

Perhaps with the amount of police sending imports and the similar turbo sports cars through places like macleod, the employees are getting slacker, over worked?

that would be a nice scenario...

on the other hand, when i was there the blokes were really friendly and if you treat them with some respect it goes a long way.

goodluck.

i got my EPA letter today, just a warning stating they recommend i restore my vehicles emission control equiptment back to the manafacturer's design to prevent further action.

thank god i dont have to go through that Macleod crap.

Yea that wouldhave sucked balls :iluvff:

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
