Cheers,
Its pretty much safe to assume that it would not pass an emmissions test i think, which is fine. I was just looking at the legal side of insurance not paying out based on this even though my car has an mot for another 11 months. Although saying that, as long as they know about the decats, how can then turn around and say the decats void the insurance?
Whatever the rights and wrongs of whether the insurance company will pay out since you basically have an illegal car - even though they know about it, I think you are asking for trouble posting up that you have the car set-up this way, It's only asking for the cops to pull you over IMO. [As an aside, would this leave your wife in an awkward position being that she is a copper]
Its an intersting thread, but if it were me, I'd ask for it to be removed now
TBH I can't see the police trawling this forum and getting excited over a thread called "Has anyone decatted their Zed?". We know the police do look at the forums but they won't be reading every post and I suspect they're looking for "Wasted a 911 on the M4..." or "Hit 100 in Chester City Centre" type threads. Anyone know different?
According to my Mrs, the police don't have enough officers on the beat so not sure how they could spare officers to trawl the net trying to nick people for 'potential' crimes that they have no evidence of. I'm sure if someone posted a video of them doing 150 mph and someone forwarded it to the police, i could see them then having a nose about buts thats it imo
I'm 100% sure that is correct - my angle is the 'jealously' one, a copper sees that there is a lambo in brum, probably running ilegally, has a word with his mate, saying 'we'll have that guy'
I'm sure in the real world all coppers are upstanding, hard-working etc and don't think in this way at all
There is an element of that, but its not limited to cops. I was talking to my neighbour yesterday, he could get the hump with the noise and call the cops too etc etc.
I live a quater of a mile from a cop shop so all the local bobbies know my car and they all nod and wave to me whereas i got pulled 4 times in the UY zed. Will just have to make sure i don't blip the throttle past the cop shop
