Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 12y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 26/01/12 07:54 AM Share Posted 26/01/12 07:54 AM I really feel for you car enthusiasts in Vic.. This is getting insane.. Soon we'll all be driving prius's and won't be allowed to upgrade the battery pack to the new improved energizer one for mad power gains as Toyota will of convinced the EPA it's bad for the environment so we have to keep using theirs.

I know first hand that they pass. I wonder if the GT HO comes out with a cooler,if it will pass. Honestly dont know how they pass noise tests standard as they are loud as fark.

No oiled filters is the worst part, do they even make performance dry ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bi-modal systems don't open till above that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be going for the standard look next time.Not wrong Dre getting harder and harder. The cops know what to look for now, not as stupid as they once were.Both correct. New cars have to pass a million test to be "legal" so it only makes sense that what companies go through shouldnt be thrown out the window as soon as its bought.Bit harsh/unfair maybe yes, but then if you want a faster car.....buy one. If you cant afford it. Bad luck.No one wins wither way sometimes with modded cars (unfortunately) hence the rules.....(been there before and never again) Edited 26/01/12 08:30 AM by CBXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
