I think you are on the right track.
Mass air flow sensors, throttle bodies, injectors are all things that can be altered and show some significant gains and are not obvious.
I attended at the EPA inspection point in Hamilton today to get some details.
I was shocked to find out that the noise level is 90dBA for cars built registered after September 1983. This did not sound right to me.
I later checked the RACV site under noise/emission and they also state the level post September 1983 is 90dBA.
OK has someone removed or moved the goal Posts. As I did not think the 90 dBA was in until late 1990's..
I can only say, that this sh!t is very serious stuff and I'm quite happy to contact anyone. Just PM me and I'll ring and fill you in.
This three month campaign by the EPA will be ongoing and its guaranteed that we will get caught in the net they are throwing to get the f!ckheads off the road.
Street Rods in Victoria have the option of going on SR.... plates. This is Special Registration (some think SR stands for Street Rod) and is similiar to CH plates.
Read the warning about CH plates and use of them on the
VicRoads site. They are really clamping down on frequent use of vehicles on CH plates.
Additionally, the Street Rod Federation - Victorian Branch has a set of guidelines for Street Rod registration with carbies etc. etc.
The guy in Hamilton indicated that these guidelines are up for review and there is a possibility that some Street Rods will be looked at. There is a concern that some Street Rods have been registered under the guidelines and have been altered afterwards.
..now who would do this.
The EPA guy in Hamilton told me that they are really focused on noise at the moment and have set the new flying squad (his words) up to round up the noisy and emissions illegal cars.
Much of this appears to be to satisfy residents near freeways etc.
Have fun whilst you can...
