Defect
Hi guys,
I just got a defect on Saturday at Great Ocean Road for too low and too stiff. I just put in my stock suspension today and was going to get a road worthy at Kmart Tyre and Auto Service BUT the guy there says I should put my stock airbox back instead of keeping the SRI in. Problem with putting the stock airbox back in is that I'm missing a tube which is for the emissions I think. I'm pretty sure Autobahn and stuff don't have it and to order it from Honda, it's going to take 2-4 weeks to arrive which is way too long.
Do you guys think they'll check my engine bay?
Here's a pic of what I'm missing:
Edit: It's a major that's why I need a roady.

Garden hose....
Its only a breather pipe, + Im guessing you'll put the whale penis back on anyway?
-
Yeah, it's a breather hose thingy said the guy. It's half metal half rubber though. Or Vic Roads won't actually check, as long as it's a hose connecting the two?
And yes, I'm just gonna put my intake back on afterwards anyways :\ ANY HOSE WILL DO? Silicon hose or something?

I passed a roadworthy with a Cold Air intake and he's not letting you pass with an SRI?

Yeah, I didn't even get defected for the SRI but he wants me to put it back to stock anyways zzzz.
Luckily I JUST found my breather pipe. Thanks a lot though WATAJK; would've been my life saver.
Now, for the Vic Roads bit, do I gotta call and book it in or can I just show up and throw some rocks at the anal c*nts -_-
(Going to get the road worthy tomorrow morning hopefully)

u do know they are only doing that to cover their asses as they will be the ones copping it if something happens and you try to blame them.

Was it a minor or major?
Minor you can rock up, show them the roadworthy and thats it (well thats what happened for me)
But i think the laws have changed now, might pay dude to just give them a bell or go VERY early in the morning, like opening time.
Booking saves you the hassle of a long ass wait, just make sure your on time.
Let us know how you go.

Yeah, I understand that so that's why I'm not trying to go to another place cause it'd be the same/they'd just give me a roady and if they check up on the intake, I'd get my ass owned and gotta get another roady anyways.

I gave Vic Roads a call and they said just rock up with the roady and take a number and wait... But yeah, I'll update this tomorrow to see how it goes.
Thanks guys

Why the shock? For all you know, he could have had an exposed and unsecured pod as an SRI? It would also be a lot more obvious than a CAI tucked away in the wheel well.

In vic we can have one intake mod, so u can get away with any form of intake mod, but what baffles me is why the trouble of going back to oem air box :S
Plenty of ppl have passed rwc with pods an that, even me.... just make sure the intake system is very secure and held with thick brackets...
Use garden hoses as said, or go to bursons or auto-one an get power steering hoses, or better yet go to clark rubber, they should have what ur looking for
