Not if they're engineered with a certificate.

lol not if ur in syd.. doesnt matter what you show the cops

a certificate will allow the epa inspection to say "maybe pass" and force you go to Emmisions test instead of a straight fail.

As you have been defected before, why would you just want to borrow the parts? Surely you'd want to make the vehicle permanently compliant with the regs rather than being repeatedly defected:duh:??

OK, I have all the bits you need.

1.8T a4 or passat resonator with piping
1.8T rear muffler

Full stock system from downpipe back $150

throttle body to SMIC piping for 1.8T $50

turbo to smic piping hose (this is a biug metal support under the car $100

stock 1.8T divertor valve piping $50

Probably best to keep all the parts handy for next time you get defected.

Hope that helps.

Sorry you can get defected whenever they feel like it - even with the certificate
:brutal:

Good luck Ray, defects suck!

True... But with an engineers certificate you can clear a defect as quick as it was slapped on. Yes defects do suck but that's why it's best to avoid obvious illegal modifications.

The unfair thing about this is that you pay to clear the defect.

are you talking about passing EPA?
Legal bits = stock parts

This is also vehicle tampering inspection, so no modifications will pass (even with a certificate)

this isnt too bad, lucky my mods are just bolt on/off

If you modify your car with parts that are acceptable and get them engineered if they require it, then you don't have to worry about passing EPA inspections any more.

I just don't see why you would bother putting all the illegal bits back on after your inspection if you had to go to all the trouble of making it appear stock to pass the inspection in the first place.
It just seems like a big waste of time for everyone involved and you haven't learnt anything from it imho.

As far as the EPA are concerned, legal bits are bits that allow the car to pass the emissions tests. Stock parts are not the requirement.

Vehicle tampering - that's one I haven't heard of (though I imagine would indeed require stock parts). What's the reason for that inspection though (I'm curious now - is it not legal to modify a vehicle (and if engineering isn't acceptable, what's the point of the engineer certification scheme)?

i got a letter from DECC which deal with noisy cars, they require car with my rego to go through a vehicle tampering inspection and epa test.

i'v already been once, they take photos of the car's engine bay, exhuast etc and has to match their database. So MUST be stock, legal mods do not count for anything.

The unfair thing about this is that you pay to clear the defect.

That is true, but then you can make a claim against the person/organisation that wrongfully defected you to recover the cost of clearing the defect. I have a friend that has had to do it twice. He drives a heavily modified but completely legal HSV and has been wrongfully defected twice. Both times he has written to the organisation that wrongfully defected the car and both times has been re-imbursed with the amount.

Nothing more than a PITA really. Still wrong, but nothing you'd need to ever worry about if you had legal modifications.

:D
