Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 8d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 27/10/12 11:12 AM Share Posted 27/10/12 11:12 AM It's a matter of doing however much you like and praying you don't get caught.. Some unlucky guys get caught each and every time they take their car out (slight exaggeration)..Any level of mods makes you fair game for police and EPA to play tag team with your pooh hole.But if you do get pulled up don't be a *beep* to them.. Do what they ask.. Being nice is generally gonna get you off easier then being an arse to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anytime you go to the drags, track, powercruise or whatever event you gotta clench and hope you don't get noticed and pulled over. Do we have any ideas on what gets you in trouble and what doesn't. Can you pass an EPA on e85/eflex so long as pass under noise restrictions?

We all know things we do to car are pushing boundaries if not completely bulldozing them.. Yes I think we can all say how much it sucks that cops use events like power cruise (or even just walk into a tune shop) to suss out rego plates of modified cars. But what can we do about it? Take two mates in rental hyundais to each event and make them leave first and tell you where the cops are hiding?As far as the second question goes.. Pretty sure certain mods straight up will cause a defect. Plenum for one (I think), larger turbo, non-stock or parity level cat converter.. List goes on..

Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 13y 10m Gender: Male Posted 28/10/12 06:39 AM Share Posted 28/10/12 06:39 AM So what are the other problems that modding your car can bring. Obviously lower resale, if not returned to stock. But what happens with insurance then, say you have agreed value but have a crash it would be easy for them to say illegal mods f*ck off, what about liability and injury, "accident only happened because your car is illegal" then get taken to the cleaners?With engine mods is it just about emissions crap and so maybe e85 will get you by? Surly one of these things would be more environmentally friendly on e85 that stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't avoid it. It's a fact of life and a risk we all take. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving to the events no worries.$70 used to save me a whole lot of stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookeyMaster Donating Members 1,531 Member For: 13y 10m 21d Gender: Male Location: Parramatta, NSW Posted 28/10/12 01:22 PM Share Posted 28/10/12 01:22 PM I've noticed more people seem to get done in Vic than most other states going by the posts on here. In NSW, they only seem to come out for big events, otherwise you're pretty safe. Vic seems to have them randomly on the highway or in the city and stuff. No idea if its just coincidence but it does seen that they're a lot tougher with enforcement in Vic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
