Ahh ok kewl thanks for clearing that up! Cop pushing on my panels would have me spewing not to mention a dinted panel. grrr !!!
well its still sus, i would be wanting to see numbers...as if they can tell just by pushing down on the car...do they have an indepth knowlege of the stock sussy, and how much travel there is....grrr
Totally.But the main point is no-one knows the law,by design.
I mean if the police want to charge you with something, they have to have evidence. They have to provide the figures, like speeding, noise testing, emissions, things like that, they cant just say its too stiff and book you. I would contest it. At least if they make you go and get it tested, it will give you time to change them back to stock lol.
U wanna test me boy!
hehe,they win.
Pretty much though sometimes its just better to cop a defect fine otherwise you will get into more trouble than you first thought lol.
yup yup yup
wah .... cops are so annoying! Honda drivers dont hoon so at least they should let us go with a little modification sigh! good thing SA cops is not so tough i think, but SA is following the P plate no turbo next year

so I got a letter, been epa'd
my twin loop barely rumbles.
thats bs bro,
i been in it
n its not loud at all.
I passed my blue slip with my twin loop LOL
Well he could of booked you for that if he wanted to
It's called Unnessicary Acceleration I have been done for it before was let off with a "warning"
But I have some of the worst run ins with Police possible
When I got raped I was driving an EG6 Sedan Twin Carb the story is as follows :
It was 2am in Acacia Ridge I was driving home from a mates place
Cops were going the opposite direction down Beaudesert rd
Me being the only car on the road and me having a Honda made this a prime U-turn moment
They pulled me over and asked me to step out of the vehicle
I agreed
They then decided I was on some type of illegal substence because I was shaking but I was in a shirt and shorts (It was ****ing cold!!)
So this was of course prime for the soberity test and a call to the drug dogs and back up
My car was stripped Seats,Subs and boot carpeting and thrown out on the foot path
It was the concluded I was not on anything so I was left with a HAHA! You havent got your P plates on Fine!
So I copped the fine but I was Undoubtedly pissed about the Stripping of said car and being left to pick up the peices at 2am in the middle of Acacia Ridge
wtf is a eg6 sedan twin carb ?
Gir is NOT a Chick Magnet.
Mmmm i actually have a question and i dont wanna start a new thread...
CF Hoods are illegal unless ADR approved or engineer approved...
Now,
are CF Wings illegal aswell?
Like the DC5R Mugen CF Wing?
Thanks
Oh yes they can. They have the power to inflict any sort of defect pain on you that they deem necessary to keep the streets clear of hoons and other modified car nuisances. They have a mandate from the incumbent Government, elected by the people of your State. Sorry but they don't have to produce any evidence other than their own judgement.
If you decide to take it to court you will be up for much more (even if you win) than the cost of the fine and they know that. Unless you are silly enough to try and defend yourself, you will need a Solicitor, and you will probably appear in court at least two or three times because the case cannot proceed until the Police provide the State Prosecutor with a Brief of Evidence and they will take their sweet time in doing that. Each time you go to Court you will lose a day's pay (unless you have holidays owing), your Solicitor charges upwards of $100 an hour, and even if you win in the end you will pay a $60 court costs fee (at least here in NSW) and if you don't pay the court costs with 14 (or 30) days it doubles.
Been there, done that. Either way you lose, so be polite, cop the fine, get it cleared and be the wiser next time 'round.

I agree to disagree
I've challenge police officers 4 times, each time representing myself and each time have pulled an outcome to make myself happy to giving the copper the finger as i left the court house.
You can win court cases but the problem is that once you win one case, that copper will hold a GRUDGE yes, i repeat a GRUDGE against you to try get you back for making him look like an assole..
This cop in the Northern suburbs has tried 4 times and been rolled 4 times but knows both my cars and is ALWAYS an assole to me when he "randomly" pulls me over.
Any other cop is fine to me just this assole is a c*nt.
My offenses; illegal modification on my laser (underbody neons which weren't turned on at all that night), speeding 15km's over (the gun hadn't been tested that month therefore illegal to be used during that time frame as it needs to be monthly tested) and 2 hoon offenses which i didn't commit, my mates did the offenses but the cop blamed me (Had my car impounded twice, the book got thrown at me), the cop copt a lashing in court from the judge after my mate came forward for me and proved it was his tyre marks not mine and basically once again owned.. [My mates were let off the hook for being honest]
As the saying goes, the TRUTH always prevails dishonesty.
my ae86 trueno was EPA defected by an off duty cop who THOUGHT i was too loud... no testing was done.
it echoed in between city buildings and he thought it was too loud, despite the environment causeing distortions.
to be honest, it was ****ing loud and i deserved it... but i think he should have had to do a test before i had an epa defect.
oh well, aust is pretty bad like that, the reason i only live here for a couple of months per year now days (due to work)
Very welcome man, i'll letchu know about a girlfriend of mine with her Evo 7 TT (it's worked off it's ****, pulling 492.8kws need i say more why she's in court? lol) court case goes... Its been interesting lol She's worse then me lol
But thanks for reading man
Truth ftw =)
Fa-sure! :)
Damn,500kw's!!!
By the sounds of that i want her! lol. jks mate. Yeah i try and be nice to police like say gday mate and how you going and stuff like that (in a non offensive way - i usually try and talk to them.) But i mean you get the nasty ones who have had a bad night and take out their rage on you. i had one pull me up and the first thing he said to me was "where are you going?" i said home, 'whos car is this?" i said mine, "rbt" i said ok then he just walked off. I thought that was very rude.
"jesse dont do it, hes got at least 100k under that bonnet"
Spoon injins!
"jesse dont do it, Shes got at least 100k under that bonnet"
:P
lol oh good to see some humour after so many negative posts. Dont race Neesmo31 hes got over $100 under the bonnet!
Curiously guys i asked with no answa...
Carbon Fibre Wings are they illegal or not???
EG Mugen DC5R CF Wing????
I think in qld even carbon wrapped components (or fully carbon products) are illegal as if you were to hit a pedestrian they shatter and will cut you, getting hit by a car wont hurt you but the carbon will cause a nasty cut. Fairly positive on that one. They may differ from state to state - where abouts are you?
Doubt it or at least noone cares. I have a cf side mugen wing on my DC5 and it's fine, especially because it only has the cf tips. Had a full cf one on my Jazz and never got asked about it.
