well i got a ticket yesterday actually 3 one for exhaust one for tint and the other was for no proof of registration he goes im gonna give you 5 seconds to find it and i found it and he said times up anyways just need to vent when i take off car makes a grinding noise and you can feel it on the pedal does it in every gear could that be the clutch or could it be the tranny? i seriously need help on this one never had a car do that before

 

i just got my car it mine does the same. My cousin just took my car to his firend witch has evos and other sports car and going to get it checkd out and bringing it back to me on thurs. If there is a huge problem he wants me to return it but its not hell tell me how to fix it and until then ill keep you updated on the problem

 

try adjusting the clutch...

 

well my clutch catches kinda high but it has always done that do you think it could be the problem

 

throw out bearing. That cop was gay

 

so its just the throw out would it be affecting the transmission internally like gears and stuff cause i think its done it before briefly but it stopped as soon as i looked at it also any opinions on the act f1 6 puck

 

throw out bearing / clutch

 

Count your blessings. In Florida, a friend got a tint ticket for each window. That would suck. The tint ticket and the registration should be easy fix it tickets, just show the court your registration.

 

well he said back windows are fine my tints are according to the thing 16% all the way around if i fix make it 28 then its legal and just show any cop but naw i like the way it looks it wouldnt by my car without it the exhaust however is bull he said anything altering from oem exhaust is illegal i think its cause im asian and i have an evo

 

I got tickets like that from a trooper once. I have 5% tint all around.

Huh?

 

are u in Florida?? check the laws. FL does not do emissions so u can run any exhaust u want hence all the straight pipe domestics in the Miami area. if ur in west palm then any car that is not luxury will be harassed & no it's not bcuz ur asian but partially bcuz u own an evo. every single major sports car owner goes thru some kind of harassment (unless they are an attorney) & u got cops hating bcuz they don't get paid enuff to drive something nice. + don't forget the negative stigma of street racing & from the the crapp FnF movies...

 

^he's right. MDPD will not bother you with exhaust tickets. The further you go north is when they'll ride you like a pony at a fair ground. Oh, and pinecrest also. Police there are from Hitlers army.

 

power trip. fast car. young kid? (under 30)

Thats how it works. Prove the exhaust is DOT legal if it actually is. Ask him for proof that tint was to dark ( In PA tint meters are illegal to use in the court of law) and finally if you had proof of registration there is absolutely NO time limit on how long it takes you to find it. If you wanted to be a ***** and known he was going to be one, you should have driven for like 8 miles till you got bored and when finally approached say " i wanted to find a safe, well lit area that is surrounded by the public, never know who is acutally pulling you over"


I am glad that MOST cops here in PA are cool.. you have a few locals and of course the park rangers who think they are steven segal.


Best bet...

Make exhaust legal, take tint off front windows where i am sure its to dark, and go to court with a big smile.... did he ticket you?

Sorry did not read everyones responses.

 

tint ticket for each window..no way possible..they can give you a tint ticket for the windsheild +the rest of the car...not each window.

 

here's the FL tint rules:

it is also possible that cops are using this noise statute for mufflers. there is an actual muffler statute in FL for mufflers but it applies to boats only.

Florida Statutes

316.3048 Operation of radios or other mechanical soundmaking devices or instruments in vehicles; exemptions.--

1. It is unlawful for any person operating or occupying a motor vehicle on a street or highway to operate or amplify the sound produced by a radio, tape player, or other mechanical soundmaking device or instrument from within the motor vehicle so that the sound is:
   1. Plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet or more from the motor vehicle; or
   2. Louder than necessary for the convenient hearing by persons inside the vehicle in areas adjoining churches, schools, or hospitals.
2. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any law enforcement motor vehicle equipped with any communication device necessary in the performance of law enforcement duties or to any emergency vehicle equipped with any communication device necessary in the performance of any emergency procedures.
3. The provisions of this section do not apply to motor vehicles for business or political purposes, which in the normal course of conducting such business use soundmaking devices.
