So what happens if you had coilovers installed before the rule came into affect?

I suppose that makes F*ck all difference to them, because they arent the ones having to fork out for an engineers certificate...

Bastards.

To tell you the true, i just went over pits, (last week) and i failed. Points i failed on.

91.8DB needs to be 90db at 3200rpm.

Drive shaft boot was split.

And a tierod end was loss.

I now only have to drive back over within a month and they will only check these things.

What they could(should) of failed me on.

HKS coilovers.

Wheels.

Pods.

None of which is engineered. And should be. + more.

Plus its boarderline high, and they didn't even check it.

What was the general hight allowable 15cm minimum for everything under the car?

I've got stock suspension and I'm already around 12 to 13cm at a couple of points. I believe there's allowance if the car came lower from factory but might be an issue f I try and get engineered with no stock suspension.

They also will account for the car at average load, and it says something about that on the rego.act web page that average load is 65kg per seat or so. So if you car is 11cm like my was they will still fail it as they take into account the drop from people sitting in it. My brother also worked for ford, and the reason they fail it without a engin cert is something to do with it being adjustable, just like some boost controllers, but other then that there isnt that much of a regulation on them in terms of spring hardness and dampening rate.

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
