EVC EPA'ed

[code blue]

Getting damn epa notice.

Pulled over again 7:50am!! cruising down Hume Highway just near Wodonga going to work. Look up cop sitting on the median strip turning other direction. Look up again as i am turning off onto nice quiet backroad to find cop car positioned in usual liner hunting pose right up my arse. :bs!:

Pull into back road and straight over, procedes with usual rbt then comments that my car is too low (HKS fronts and temporary lowered nismo rears) and how his rbt straw is exactly 100mm yeah yeah. I reach in the glove box and show roadworthy completeted only this Monday.

Then makes open bonnet(first time in 2years of owning R33's), I get out he then has a quick glance inside. Comes over telling me he knows what he is looking whilst leaning one hand on very illegal bov after awhile says "what this" pointing to evc module (should have hidden that damn it). Keeps looking while stoking the pod filter.

"you can close the bonnet now".

"Can you drive the car over there"

pointing to middle of the road. (f#@k me getting shitty now). Then MrPlod trys to climb underneath car with a straw after some dicking around comes up empty. "Open the bonnet" what the. Yes open it again.

Has another look asking me wot boost i'am running? "standard the unit is not tuned in to run any thing else". Spends another 5 min looking. Said nothing about bov, safc, boost guage, and would have not have chance of spotting a HKS2535. Tells me boost controller is not epa blah blah blah was just thinking of the time and $$$ to go back to standard. Is it possible for Vic cops to defect NSW reg car or send them for EPA??? i suspect with epa it might be.

[KamikazeR33]

they can only send to epa not do a full roadworthy, only minor defects

i still havent been pulled over yet and u can hear my screamer 2km away

vic cops also have a 100page book on every part defectable for imports, from boost controllers to powerfcs to inlet plenums etc

VIC - EPA and NSW epa are different divisons.

dunno how they will treat that one.

I just got a letter from em too, and its clearly states EPA - Victoria.

So you might get off.

the wonderful, sensible and responsible people at spring street thought it a good idea to add a couple of phrases to the vic roads legislation. The cops only have to 'think' or believe (i cant believe you can use the word think, politician and cop in the same sentance) the car is defectable to justify writing you up. They may not actually know what the fu(k they are looking at, just that it aint standard.
