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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
