Doogs Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Seriously do some more research before you get to comitted to this build, to make sure you are not breaching the laws in a major way. (ie. no turbos/superchargers) Technically as they say there is a ban on "all performance modifications", but chances are most cops don't know KE corollas and their engines from a bar of soap. Whilst also they probably won't be to concerened in general about a 4-banger corolla (as long as your not making trouble), but instead they will be trying to restrict the guys with hot 6s that are producing big power. Unfortunately I am going to be under these new laws as well (i turn 18 in august), so have had to change my plans a bit. I am looking at dropping in a warm 5k, once again banking on the fact that; A-cops won't know the diff, and B-if i don't trouble them, they won't trouble me. Have a look at this (i asked a similar question a while back) Vic P Laws As others have said, use the faq and google. (still ask questions where necesary, but do some reseach first to find answers where possible that way) Good luck, Dougal Quote
Des Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 If you have a k motor running twin webers and lumpy cam they will know it. Some cops are not stupid when it comes to cars. Quiet exhaust and sane driving will keep you out of trouble. Done me well for the last 6 months, Haven't been pulled over at all. Quote

Doogs Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 True but quite a few havnt got a clue ;) My friend got done for "sustained loss of traction" a.k.a. burnouts etc and the checked the car for modifications. They got him for cut springs but he had a 5k with a lumpy cam twin webers etc and they didnt even notice. Fully agree about sane driving and quiet exhaust though. Also don't be a drift0r and have your car two inches off the ground and wheels cambered out heaps and you should be fine. :bash: Exactly what i was getting at. I am still going to put in a bit of a cam, which is technically iilegal. But i figure if it looks like a bit of a sleeper and i don't get to exicted while driving on the street i will be fine. Quote
