On the way home from work, got pull over cause my blow off valve was too loud by an under-cover cop & recieve a defect note. The undercover cop told me that my exhaust noisy, air filter & blow off valve was NOT standard. Pictures was taken during the process for evidence. And that I have to attend EPA test (Lidcombe) blah RTA blah blah BLUE SLIP.

Have anyone gone through this trouble and can advice what should I do next? I got rid off all my stock parts. Can anyone let me borrow they stock BOV or air filter?

Thanks.

remove the blow-off valve and plug the hole for the test, box up your pod filter, make sure your exhuast is not noisy and has a cat(go to an exhuast shop that has a DB meter). The guy at Lidcombe last time I was there ( got sent there with my wrx which had major mods) was a pretty nice bloke actually.

Lidcombe EPA is differen't to the RTA ,Lidcombe EPA doesn't have an emission tester they only test for noise.

      Powder coating wheels

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Yeah. I believe the fear of annealing the alloy and weakening it, Every online discussion has someone saying it's bad and potentially a risk when powder coating forged wheels.

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
