Defects

[92r32gts]

Hi guys i just got defected for a number of things mainly my BOV so i put the factory BOV back on and plumbed it in and whatever else and saughted the other defects out which were pointless...... but my point is why is my car getting an extra 3PSI from the factory BOV?? and is there a way to make the factory BOV louder?????

[34GeeTeeTee]

Making it louder technically makes it a defect again and NO it will always sound like a wet fart.... And aftermarket plumb back will give you some pigeons if its done up tight if you like that sort of thing!

You may have had a shitty fitting BOV and a boost leak before?

You have an import and therefore are a danger to 99.9% of the Australian Pubic according to Tracy Grimshaw!

Yes the defects are a little out of hand but all you can do is keep your car as close the law as possible, Atmo BOV's and too low, ald tyres etc etc are common targets so keep your car clean, legal height and quiet and you stand a better change, at the end of the day imports are targeted as the minority in them gave a bad name when they realised you could spin more than one wheel by driving something other than a commodore... Not even sure where this rant is going so i will stop here and GTFO!

Noise is the main thing... Venting to atmosphere etc! Unless it was already plumb back in which case it is silly!

As for reflective wipers, well that is just silly to start with

Have you got defects that you know of? If so fix them and drive it

[Cadmoon]

I drive mine a my daily, lucky the roads from my place to work are quiet so I don't see any cops. Not normally to worried as I have no defects that I know of, but I'm sure if a cop looked hard enough they would find something.

atmo bov is a defect for 2 reasons, 1 is noise, the other is emissions. oddly enough, cars started being fitted with bovs to start with for emissions.

as for reflective wipers, i can see why that would be a defect. at night they would be reflecting light back at oncoming drivers.

and in most cases, if you are driving in peak traffic times and aren't driving like a dick, you won't get a second look from the police. if you go driving around late at night you are more likely to get pulled over because of the fact that a: there is less traffic on the road, so of course you are going to stand out more, and b: generally speaking, a large portion of the people cruising around at night aren't usually the type to drive like a granny.

BOV's are not as bad as cops make out, yes they vent but its only air not exhaust gas, if I get pulled up I can see I'm going to be arrested for telling a cop he's a dumb shit (being a mechanic)

I hate that they can hand out defects for things they don't even know the name of.

Yeah see that is bullshit! That is simply targetting your vehicle UNLESS you did something to get blacklisted in the past?

[SABBAi]

It also has a lot to do with attitude or the perception of attitude.

[djr81]

Actually, at the risk of getting flamed - why would you whinge about getting defected for an atmo bov?

You know they are defectable. You know they add precisely nothing to the performance of the car and only exist to attract attention.

So clearly, your bov has fulfilled the purpose that you bought it for.

Job done.

[mad082]

Have to agree. there are plenty of mods that you can get defected for. If you do those mods knowing that you could get booked for them then you can't really complain about getting booked. It would be like complaining because a cop booked you for doing burnouts, etc
