Hi guys,

So I got a WRC to clear my canary... will be bring it to Vicroads very soon to clear my defect... now... an EPA notice arrives asking for me to bring the car into the EPA testing centre to get my exhaust tested etc...

So now the question is... if I got my canary lifted etc... does this mean that I am legally allowed (as far as VICROADS is concerned) to drive and then will have to past the EPA test for my exhaust as a separate matter? Or do I have to pass both and get both lifted / resolved etc to start driving legally again??

some quick responses will be good as I will be getting the canary taken off soon - thought if both has to be done, might as well hold off a bit then get both done at the same time to save some time / money now...

Cheers,

While im here, you do know about the $1100/3 demrits incoming for P-Platers dont you?

Because by the sound of it, you might aswell sell up now before it costs you :(

WTF??

does it only affect p-platers that get their license after the july date not vetrans like me?? or does it?

Thats very wrong. You should read the whole website as you dont understand the current laws, and they are the ones im talking about.

Seems you and google need to become acquainted :(

Here is one of the many threads from the past 6 months on this topic.

Responses are the same, and it seems a lot of people dont understand the law, even when its clearly written.

It affects current p-plates as currently its an offence

If you are on your P's before July 1st, your allowed to drive some cars such as 32's legally but because 33's are over the 125kw/tonne limit the fine has increased to $1100 and 3 demerit points.

EVILTD if youve got any more than a month or so left on your P's (if you still are) id sell up if i were you...

I got like 1 year left on my P's...

By the way... a NEWSFLASH... just went to the local police station and asked a senior constable... his answers were... if you get your license after July then no turbos, V6/V8 etc... but... before that then you can still... however there's a new law coming out soon... STOCK AS A ROCK is what the Road & Traffic Authorities want sports cars to be... arrive alive they say,... I guess... so for all you modders out there... RICE / PERFORMANCE mods will die unfortunately soon.....

Dicks to that idea

ak - wrong

Please for the love of the forum stop posting crap.

Sort of. Under the new laws; P Platers aren't allowed to drive cars where "modifications to a car in order to increase it's performance" are present, as well as nominated high performance 4's, 6's, 8s, Charged, and also cars above Power To weight.

It is so clear and has been said so many times.

If you dont get your licence before july 1 2007, get a corolla or something (and a track/drift/drag car on the side (and a trailer)) :blink: until you get off your P's.

Alternatively, move to a good state.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
