Both fairly straightforward jobs. Really depends how fussy workshop is and how bad the leaks are. If you pressure wash beforehand and it's a minor weep it may not be an issue. ANother option is of cou

It is interesting, the dynamic currently. I think with the camera/database and automated method of checking number plates, they already know what kind of driver you are (speeding fines, previous

ay guys,

i currently are gettin a roadworthy and have been told that "Exhaust is to loud - EPA noise test required" and i have a 3" full exhaust.. i have read the whole topic..

however, just wondering if they will check my ECU for the noise test cauz i currently have a powerFC..

and if they do check its ok because i have the stock ecu.. but if i swap them will the current settings i have on the powerfc remain or will it reset??

and has anyone been successful with a cheap alternative for exhaust noise??

If all you need is the 'noise test', its done at an exhaust shop, they DONT check anything except your exhaust noise output. (For mine anyways).

A cheap alternative - get the stocker fitted.

Cheers,

You were defected for a illegal car, this isnt a whinge thread mate :(

This is a help thread.

As for the suspension travel rules. If you take the time to look at the links in the first couple of posts that refer to VicRoads VSI's and website.

You'll see the rulings and what can/cant be done. Its all very clear as i have read it myself before.

cheers

Ok. Iv got an EPA test on Friday. I was told to take off my boost controller, pod filter since have a cooler, the blow off valve and put stock one on, and take my exhaust, 3 inch all the way, off and stock one on. I also have a bosch 044 fuel pump......Should i change this, or leave ?

OK man. I had my EPA today, i was told that if i get called back again, for my exhaust in particular, i would incur a $500 fine. WTF. this is what the guy actually told me himself several times today. Am not sure if he was trying to scare me to sellin it (he did mention selling my rb20 i said fug dat), or if he was serious.

How can we be so sure, without coping it :yes:

Well read the paperwork they send you.

Its all on there, if you havent got paperwork, then dont worry about it.

The test is indeed free. Fines however are not part of the test.

It used to be 3rd time and you'd get fined, that could have changed etc.

So, just read the letters. I've never had a defect/epa letter that was not perfectly clear about what i needed to do, or how to find out more info

HAHAHA ok so my mate got done for his car being to loud,

so we went and got heaps of Fly Wire and down the road from the place we pulled over and

you just scrunch it up and shove it in the exust pipe!

dont drive a long distance with them as they burn out,

when it was finished being tested ( IT WORKED!! )

we just gave it heaps down the freeway and the flywire shot out the back!

it was really funny, people wore driving past us,

and i was shoving flywire up an exust!

haha

it did work though!

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
