Righto... cant wait for this to go ahead...

Laws have changed in QLD now (and soon to be the same in other states)..

Anything other than a minor defect (bald tyres, etc) and the accused has to appear before a court to have the matter heard...

So im booked in for the 14th of Jan at southport magistrate... woo!! :(

Its basically up to the officer at the time as to give you a ticket or issue a court date...

And yeh i got done for bonnet (again) and exhaust (96db) but only have to clear the exhaust for court... but clear bonnet for re-inspection...

GB is definately going ahead...

so u want to do the exhaust swap sometime soon?

i thought the legal limit was 100db and below?

Yeh... legal limit can vary from 90-100db... Depends on the state and car...

Apparently ours is 90db... So 96 is bloody close... only cause they were tight arses...

Just going to chuck a resonator in the new exhaust...

And yeh still up for swapping...

If its still loud on your N/A motor, then just put in a resonator... but i'd say it'd be fine (been through probably 50 RBTs and at least 20 Defect Inspections fine)

the difference between 90 and 96 is a lot. dB its a log scale. for every 3dB you double your loudness.

Hey,

was wondering if you still need people keen on the bonnet. I'm new to FTO Australia lolz, and im very keen and willing to spend $600 on a fibreglass bonnet for my FTO. Better price than $1500 thats for sure :D
