What a day, got defected today!!!!

that Bastard,

One cop by himself, I thought there always needed to be 2 cops to pull you over??

Tint to dark, even though they never tested the tint,

Exhaust to loud - apparently, even though I have the quietest X-force system on the market

Lastly the cop recons my air intake and cooling need to comply with USR/ADR

Bro,

I feel for you as funny enough I just got my canary cleared this morning after my car was defected 3 weeks ago... I'm sure a few of you would know of this situation...

Bro, yeah... sometimes it's not worth it... don't worry, it's not the end of the world... just get a roadworthy done...

You can't have 2 air induction mods... so either lose your frontmounted intercooler or pod filter... I say lose the pod filter (get a stock airbox in there)... get your tint taken off (put a lighter tint on)... don't worry about the exhaust, the WRC will cover this too... just get the WRC done mate... then bring it to a VICROADS office and they will clear it quicksmart... within like 5 minutes you will be free again.... like me...

I have been through hell and back so yeah, PM me if you have any issues...

I know pretty much all the ins and outs of this process...

I would expect he's EPA(ed) you as well.... you should get a letter in the mail in a matter of weeks which instructs you to bring your car to an EPA's office to get tested!

Next time just act like they know everything and be really nice, start a conversation if possible, it attracts attention away from the car. If the piggy still gives you that little piece of yellow paper, I say get your money's worth go into an industrial state cut some mad skids, do something you think is worthy of that yellow canary. That's my own personal judicial system anyway.

window tints are not a big problem in SA i think.....i got mine i think on the sides a bit below the legal limit the back has a very light tint and none at the front not even on the top.....did they db test your exhaust....and what kind of air intake do you have....feel sorry for u bro....

whats the bet your tint is too dark, your exhaust is too loud and your air intake is shit?

just bring it to a good mechanic, get that person to fix up all defected items as per that copper's canary then get him to give you a good RWC, bring it to a traffic authorities office and get them to clear it off for you. make sure you get a comprehensive rwc done as this will avoid future problems for you.

good luck
