i get rbt'd every single week!! Mostly because i work at silverwater & castle hill which drives me past a few D.U.I hotspots.
I always get the usual
"rev your car please"
"so wheres the turbo?"
- usual tyre tread check
- a check under the car
A few weeks ago i was pulled over by the popos thinking my car was a turbo'd car. They gave me some sh*t saying "dont be a smartass" & "we are quite familiar with this car". I poped the bonnet and the 2nd officer was like "crap sir... The engine is stock" LOL!
*** your always going to get good and bad attention by having a car like ours. Its something thats expected when driving a sporty looking car

No, you cant get defected for stock air filter. You can get defected for a pod, but only if its not covered.

Miracle indeed... But then again 3 of the rbt's ive had since the tinting have been at night
One officer said its not too bad actually... So im going on the fact that he said they are not defectable, but i know a cop having a bad day will get me one day.

They can fine you, its your responsibility as a driver to be informed about all the laws associated with driving. So if you are caught driving a defectable can its still your fault.
