its stupid not to make it legal, but the sad thing is i think most moders arent driving legal cars... if just having an open air filter is illigal it kinda sux to think we'd have to drive with a turbo and a box sticking out of it :/

doesnt help that transport authorities and Police all have their "Version" of the law... and their interpretation depends on what mood they are in..
All you need is this

I passed my Engineering Certificate with this :thumbsup:
still doesnt change that turboing a civic fails the guideline of not being able to turbo a MA catagory car. so if u wanna get technical all boosted honda's are illegal... no matter what. but ha as if a copper would be that much of a jerk. Still thats why my civic failed engineers.
i would say the chances of u getting booked normally depends on the copper's mood at that time. if u have a plate, then thats fine, but he'll definately scope ur car /engine bay for something else to defect. its jus how cops have to work, they have a certain amount of tickets they MUST give out during a given period.
on topic!: best of luck with ur car, turbo D's are the shietz
plate or not. it still fails one of the guidelines to have the plate. it also states u cannot fail any guideline. Ha i had a good read over it when mine failed the first time, guy let me read over all the guidelines and regulations, and then recommended me to someone abit more hmmm leanant :)
Its not hard to get a car plated these days. But you can still get defected even if you have a plate for something on ur car. If its illegal its illegal, plate or not ;)
However 99.99% coppers see the plate and think none the wiser. im just saying technically speaking :p
all they can do is check whether your mods are the ones on the plate. If they think there has been a change since they can defect you. In relation to you mod plate not being proper they usually refer this to another dept as they are not qualified to check you car.
I knew someone who was sent to the cop shop to get his engineer's certificate checked out. Can't rem all the details only that it needed to be brought to one of the cop's special shops. Anyway, they generally will not pick on a honda that much in NSW. There are too many WRXs, 200sx & Skylines to make money off!
