bAKER Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Wow thats unbelievable. Really sorry to hear that. A Fuel regulator... How come they pulled you over? Might be worth parting her out? Until you get the courage to put a 4a back in? Its a straight swap remember. Hang in there mate. Quote

They just came up behind me and pulled me over randomly and they were just absoloute c**ts to me trying to hammer me for anything and everything.. yea well its either de rego her and sell her to someone who wants a 4AG'd rolla who will have to go through vic roads to get it regoed again, i can sell the carby set up and go back to EFI or ill have to just part it out.. i hope the same thing never happens to you man because as soon as they said EPA to me i just died inside :( .. its shattering Edited February 3, 2011 by RX-747 Quote

mhmills Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Didn't you take the emission control crap off? Quote
RX-747 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 Didn't you take the emission control crap off? its been been converted from efi to carb and i know i will fail an EPA test the second they start it so I'm pretty much screwed :( , I'm just confused with what to do now Quote
mhmills Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Buy mine the emission crap is there just not hooked up :P Quote
RX-747 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 yea i might have to as i might be selling my car or parting it out... if not i will de rego it and convert it to EFI then take it through vic roads and pass that way then i will never be scared of getting an EPA again... just so many things running through my head at the moment because i just don't want to give this car up, i love it Quote
ke70dave Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 have you actually looked into what is required for EPA passing? i belive there is some loop holes in regards to the carby/efi thing in an old car. research it thoroughly before throwing in the towel, given the original emissions requirements on the ke70 which is what the EPA is based on, can't be that hard to pass.

RX-747 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 i havnt actually looked into it but thankyou for opening my eyes to the possibility that i might be able to.. so I'm going to look into it now, thanks Quote
t18drifts Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 dude dnt thow in the towel do alll u can to get it all sweet again its a great setup u got there dnt just pass it of to someone else becuse it got a little hard stick it to the man :wink: u can do it anything is possible Quote
RX-747 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Posted February 4, 2011 dude dnt thow in the towel do alll u can to get it all sweet again its a great setup u got there dnt just pass it of to someone else becuse it got a little hard stick it to the man :wink: u can do it anything is possible Thanks alot for the inspirational words and i will be sticking with it, there is also light at the end of the tunnel because ive heard from a few people that they have been told they will get an EPA notice but never got one.. Also i could be in a bit of luck because even if i do get one it might not even be for emissions it could just be for noise so I'm waiting to see how things play out before i make any sudden decisions.. i drove it again today and i think i would struggle to ever let go of it, its just such an amazing and fun car to drive.. Also an update for the car, I'm looking at painting my meshies and was thinking of colour choices, I'm thinking gold centre with polished lip? any other suggestions would be great... also how would i go about prepping and polishing the wheels and lip? I'm also looking at getting them flipped and was wondering if anyone here has had their wheels flipped, if so how much approx does it cost? Quote
mhmills Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah man, I've seen gold with chrome lips meshies on a Ksev, looks overrated as. Just get a professional to do it if you're not on a budget :P Quote
t18drifts Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) yeah my little t18 is pretty damn stock except for a few things but it is so fun to drive i don't have a license but the cars i have driven don't compare to the corolla i havent been working much so on my days of ill be sitting on the couch then ill start thinking about the car then next thing i no I'm doing doing a checky lap up and down my street :rolls: i love my car wouldnt ask for another (unless it a jza80 supra) its got so much charecter its awsome so yeah stick to it man shit allways works out eventualy :yes: :yes: Edited February 5, 2011 by t18drifts Quote
mhmills Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 How'd you go with getting the emission control crap? Quote
