nice work guys. don't count your chickens regarding the cops though. hopefully if you get pulled up again they'll take the report for what it's worth and leave you on your merry way.

Then you hire a lawyer and sue their ass.
They can still yellow you if they're pricks. Since they just need suspicion.
lol. you can't sue a cop for being suspicious. it's sometimes BS but all they gotta do is say your car is suspiciously loud or looks low or they're not sure about a certain mod or the exhaust smells strong etc etc and you end up paying out for another inspection. that's why it pays not to be a smart arse to them (not saying you would be, just a general comment :thumbsup:) even when you do have the paper work to back it.Quote:

Sat morning i was bored so i put my rimes back on and lowered it to what i thought my measurements were correct for legal height on my coilovers but after i dropped it it turned out like this... :) :) I had a 4 hour Hill cruise on sunday and i didnt have time to raize it so i drove it like this. Pushing my luck but yeah im not driving it from sunday onward for another 2-3 months. Not working atm just study so yellows pay a huge price on my finances which are usually nill :|

I will be suprised though if they still give me shits even after I handed 30pages essay of permit and engineer report (literally).Quote:

But my suspension is soo solid even like how it is never scrapes. 3-4 hours of hill driving on sunday on fairly uneven roads it didnt scrape once.Quote:

Well i got my emissions tests done at EFI Auto and then my engineer viewed it over and signed off on the emissions being better than the legal limit. So its in my engineers certification thats its legal the way it is. Also sent the engineers certification to the Dep of vehicle and transport and they also signed off on all the things the engineer have and placed my modification on the database so if a cop brings my car up on there incar it will have a modifications section they can read with all of the stuff in my engineers report.Quote:

he also said im240 tests are not valid in WA so even if you get one it will only be a reference atm and not something that can be certified. But my engineer said they are in the process of bringing the im240 in atm and in the next 1-2 years it will be manditory in vehicles like ours.
Yeah same...My engineers report has around 80 dot points of mods in which are detailed sections of materials used, regulations, legal requirements, functionality and durability etc etc and its roughly 50 pages long. Then i have 38 Pit receipts (for 15 yellows) with copies of prior issues on the car for reference to issues i have fixed. So if they mention something i can say "NO NO i got a yellow for this by a cop in the past but as u can see the pits have passed it as legal" cos cops have no idea whats legal and whats not. Ive been given around 8 out of the 15 yellows based on something on my car thats actually legal but then driven it over the pits and the inspector says "what the hell is this cop going on about" I also have 5 pages of permits from the actual pits and other receipts like Tint-a-cars Legal pages for darkest legal tint and my exhaust has been tested at 89.93db by my exhaust shop and was printed a document to show that plus other crap all in a ring binder which i stash under my seat. Next thing i will do is get dated photo's so cops dont say crap like "ahhh you probably just changed this after the permit"Quote:

Cos I've measured mine up in the past and this yellow i just got recently the cop was like "nah mate its to low" and i said to the cop "the lowest point of the car is my front bumper and its 120mm, if you can tell me its not otherwise then give me a yellow" he just snobbed me off and said "he can see its not 100mm's" so next time ill have the rod with the ruler and just say "here ya go buddy, be my guest and check, ive made it easy for you"
no one would think by looking at those pictures my car is 5mm of the legal limit. They would say your bullsh1tting me, so i dont blame cops for thinking the same cos my car does look very low even when its completely legal"
anyways im rambling
