mate are you sure about the quality on that thing? OBX make some questionable parts (to say the least) you really should save your money and buy a genunine Full Race manifold. Thats got a guarenty
you man whats the name of that of the place that quoted you that???Quote:

its all good bro, i just cant wait to get the product its funny cos the day i bought the mani the next day i got the epa letter i was spuuuuwin and happy at the same time...lol...do you have anything left of the build that you were you doing im after a couple of thingsQuote:

well here is an update of whats been happening,
got done with a defect so i had to get the noise and anti-tampering test done, so i chased down a motor and gearbox, intake, exhaust, ecu, air box all thanks to uncle kevin rudd for the paying the expenses lol... then gave the car and motor to Benji.
He gave it back all stock, then went and passed the epa test for the second time.
fags rejected me the first time on the account i had a aftermarket intake and an external map sensor...
Far i forgot what n/a felt like lol... So now that i passed i gotta get rego first then put everything back in hahaha back to spoolin very soon...
y not just get it engineered?
Yeah I second that...Quote:

theres more to it than just a certificate,Quote:

2. even with a certificate you can still get sent to the epa
3. Epa will turn the heads if you have a emmisions test done at a rta with photographic evidence being documented showing that you passed
as stated above, i decided to go the full legit way no matter how hard it is...less hassles in the long run...they can still fuk with you, as long as your car is registered and driven on the road they can do whatever...Quote:

But if you are engineered properly, even if they send you to the pits it will just get checked and crossed off.
Most cops will not even bother with you if your engineered most of the times.
Wow you guys have a hard time in other states hey. I've had 14 yellow stickers in my time but they were all for bullcrap rice stuff when i was a nub 17 year old e.g To low, to loud etc etc.
But i've had my car examinded 3 times with my turbo kit in and they never noticed the difference so the last time i went to the pits to get a yellow off was over 2 years ago and i got my car Re-Registered some how as a "EG Tyre R Turbo Civic". I even have that on my rego papers, its awesome.
Mines Registered as an EG5 Turbo :thumbsup:Quote:

Yeah I'm an old dude so I think that's why I've never been hassled by cops for my carsQuote:

I'm with Rac roadside assistance and i recently upgraded my generic roadside assistance to classic roadside assistance for an extra $39 and it gives me heaps of extra's. One mainly which i loved upto 100km's free towing as many times as you want in a year.Quote:
