Im240 Has Finally Been Stopped.

[Mr Eps]

^^^he's actually right... i personally would be writing a letter if it happened to me... i would definately be requesting reimbursement

[Mr. Keets]

I thought there were two places, Kostecki's and Orbital...maybe not.

The idea of places that magically pass seemingly non compliant vehicles happens in the import community too...I'm sure.

Anywho I'm glad it's over...foolishness averted.

[bubba]

Orbital weren't open to the public AFAIK.

[StealthX]

I spent a few dollars passing some paperwork ready for the IM240, $20.47 IIRC, I will definitely be writing to the transport authority requesting reimbursement. I doubt I'll succeed but ehh... I just wanna get up in their grill for being dickheads about the whole thing.

Its funny the dealings I had with KEC were nice and friendly, right up until I mentioned the car in question, then all I got was negativity and cvnts laughing at me. The jokes on them considering the outlay they must've spent for the equipment ($400,000+), that is now useless, not to mention the profit they won't be getting now hahahah

moooowaahahah!

This.

First I heard of the IM240 was when they rejected my first permit application (late 2007), called Kostecki about it & they said they were setting up for it but were still a few months away. Orbital was the only place set up for it, but weren't open to the public, just fleet cars & things like that. Probably nothing has changed since then

[VLSteve]

I heard Kostecki is now sueing the government over the law change LOL

[Char]

hope the poor chaps who had to do it get their hard earned $ back.

priks at pits wanted me to do one, i just kept going to different pits till found awesome bloke who passed me

[endless]

Char - which pits eventually passed your car? I have been wondering this myself if i can go to another pits after getting the report from one already which specifies having an IM240 done, didn't know if this was logged into some kind of system that will match the engine/chassis number..

read this link as you only need 5 gas now

Cheers gaz i am aware of that, have been for a 5 gas and failed (too rich so i'm told) just trying to avoid the hassle of leaning out tune if not entirely necessary!

[bitsa]

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

LINK TO IM240 UPDATE.

The Government, through DoT, will continue to work with the motor trades industry to review the emission testing policy and ensure an outcome that is in the best interest of all stakeholders.

What the update link says is will continue to work with motor trades to review the emission policy, that does not mean its dead yet!

I heard MTA might support the IM 240 as long as the government run it.

I also heard cammed V8s are getting caned by the 5 gas as Drift says, and more cammed cars failed at idle cos of the 5 gas. than they would be under a drive cycle test.

Ring the DPI dont count our blessing yet.

Now I'm glad I cheaped out and stuck with standard cams

[Blizzerd]

This is the reason I kept all the stock parts that I have replaced with aftermarket ones in the garage just in case if I need them later on...

Although my parents are telling me to get rid of them as I'm turning the garge into a rubbish dump

All inspections are stored on an electronic database, they know every inspection/ work order you have had. Thats why they started the TRELIS computer system up.
