2.No 5 / 26%
3.Pink slips are for GIRLS 8 / 42%

Guys,

I have to go for pink slip now Sad Hey, friggn' rego is $211 this year!? getting SO expensiv... grrrrrr..

anyway, I have the pod filter on atm and I also have my cold air pipe running to near the base of the filter (front bar - near battery - to where air box goes).

This is only staying their till I get my proper cold-air box all fiberglassed etc..

The question is, will I be failed with a pod filter? do I have to put all the old stuff back together, or should I just take out the CAI pipe?

See this piccie.. can't see the pipe, but it's there...

How well do you the know the person doing the pink slip? Wink

Pod filters are illegal in most cases, you can get them engineered - my engineer had no problem with mine and it's on the papers.

I can't see the CAI being a problem, put your stock air box back on and then swap it over once you've passed rego, that's the safest bet.

Most places will still give you the pink slip cos they have no idea that the pods are illegal.

Yeah, pretty much. You might just have to buy the guy a six-pack or something. Very Happy

At least the guy I was talking to (Shannon Pendelbury) said that all I had to do was mention his name, and I would get my car passed no problems. Very Happy

Wear your prettiest dress, smile your biggest smile and offer to give him the best haircut he's ever had - putty in your hands Rob, and you'll get passed in no time Laughing Laughing

Although the mechanic might be tempted to modify your exhaust... Shocked

man, i feel sorry for you guys, i don't even know what the hell a pink slip IS, all i have to do is take my rego renewal slip to the post office and pay the cash, although mine cost around 250 from memory, and that is with a concession!

might keep shtbuckets off the roads though, but i suppose you can always find a dosgier guy.

Most places would pass people with pod filters, even cut springs, atmospheric bovs etc etc. Because if they ask them to change it, they know that as soon as the get home they are just gonna swap it back over. They will usually just say something like "if you get pulled over, this wasnt like this when you were here". Cool

Thats been my experience with pink and blue slips.

i dont think you should be naming shops on the forum or lurker cops might decide to crack down on pink slips and drop in to them for a visit. Sad
