Still have 5 Gas to pass but it is harder for the cammed V8's compared to the turbo cars.

FARRRRK YEAH!

Not to fly my own flag, but I'm stoked to say i was a part of this bullshit coming down.

If anyone has Zoom issue 146, you can read my 2 page article on page 96

Everyone can breathe easy now, just hopefully the government will learn from their mistakes, cos no doubt that failure of a testing regime cos the tax payer thousands... (unlikely though...)

YEWWW!

The emissions test the wa government had put in place for modified vehicles has been stopped.

the IM240 test is/was an emissions test. Basically it was stupidly hard to pass (some cars from failed the test from the factory) and there was only one place in WA that could perform the testing. It costs anywhere from $900 for a standard 4cyl small car, to $3000+ If you fail and need work done to pass it. Another thing is the place that performed the testing wasn't run by the government, so can be pretty unfair. Also they only have a 2WD dyno so full time AWD cars like evos, wrxs, landcruisers etc couldn't be tested!

It was just another bit of ammo that the cops could use to attack modified car enthusiasts, cos any exhaust or performance modifications needed to be tested!

Great news for WA enthusiasts. IM240 was a fricken joke. I heard about a guy who spent 10k passing a N/A S14 silvia!!

[R32 Driver]

Did S14s even come in NA? Thought they only came in turbo?

10k is worth as much as the car lol

[3LGODZILA]

f**k yeah f**k the emissions!

[SoFreshSoClean]

Yeah it was a silvia not a 200sx

[wht510]

Great news WA guys. Glad they didn't pass it for you.

f**k yeah f**k the emissions!

Nah..... F**K the stupid politicians that make the stupid rules up... I want my kids to breathe clean air AND drive modified cars. FTMFW...

Also did that place also sold their own 'special CATs' that you will 'magically' pass if you buy it from them?

haha yeah, I loved how the engines they built always seemed to pass, some even with retro fitted carbies over an efi system! Lol what a joke! I even heard rumors of a special cam design for Holden 5L and 355 strokers that were advertised to make stupid power levels and still be compliant...

Awesome news, now anyone that copped it should get there money back!
