If I had a kid and they grew up to be like one of these instaposers, I'd slap them so hard, they'd get a concussion.

A truck with a level kit and 33's and projectors is the equivalent of a an e30 with lowering springs and different rims/wheels. They leave the dealership with those mods, and are sold as OEM parts.

Black MK4 Golf on steelies, stock ride height got a VI here in Coquitlam today, HWY 1 near Silvercity

UnknownJinX 10-02-2018 08:04 PM

So just in case this spreads to the island somehow...

Does this mean my mid-pipe w/ high flow cat has to come off? It doesn't stink when the car is fully warmed up. Still have my stock cat around, but it will be a PITA to install it since it's heavy AF.

I'll get my friend to ask the owner, but he posted this VW MK4 on his instagram story and the owner's friend replied confirming that it was getting a VI

wtf.... let's hope that car is straight piped or has a hole in the muffler...

No way that's VI worthy visually...

:derp: at this point, it seems like cars are getting VI'ed randomly, stock or modded. It doesn't seem like it's worth your time to go back to stock if it's gonna be luck of the draw anyway.

Wonder what that guy got a VI for lol

Speed2K 10-02-2018 08:57 PM

Just a heads up for guys that are going out tonight. My friend said he saw cops on Kingsway at Gladstone, near Dollarama stopping modified cars; looks like they are giving out VIs.

Fair enough.

If I ever get it, I guess I can just go in with the catted pipe and see how it goes. If it doesn't pass, then I will put the OEM back on.

Also, I heard that you have 30 days to return the vehicle to a passable state, otherwise you'll have to pay a $600 fine. In some cases, parts take over 30 days to get.

Box 1:is instant tow, insurance is invalid on the spot and depending if the cop feels like it be will take your license plate and you won't see it again

Box 2: you have 30 days to comply and fix the issue. After those 30days and you have not fixed it then your insurance will be invalid. If you get pulled over you will receive a no insurance ticket of $600

Box 3: you have 30 days to fix the issue (more of a recommendation) most likely ask you to bring it by the police station to show the officer that you have made the necessary changes

Sorry, bud. You're in the pay to play category.

Also no one here wants to watch your 20 minute video. A post following the recommended post guidelines would have been more than sufficient.

But.. more info on the "si with diffuser" that got dinged tho?

ricecookerboi 10-03-2018 04:43 AM

ahh ok fair enough, but the si who got pulled over was bone stock, just had a real diffuser on and got flagged while I was waiting for my ticket. It felt like they had to pull someone over randomly to prove a point .. i'll try the video on my phone

Your dashcam probably picked it up.



What's the MVA code on fender gap?

lol, stock wheels don't change the fender gap.
Your car does grab a lot of attention, especially with a chassis wing with that message.
