poolheaters Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Update big guy? Some pics? Something..... anything!!!! Not much to update Woo, been spending too much time working and skiing. Have lost about 100hrs trying to get some weight out of the thing! First 30kg was easy, but spent 4hrs last weekend for a 2.5kg gain.. Still looks the same, and will run like that. Fitting intercooler, bigger brakes, some spring/swaybar upgrades and tighten up the diff. Besides that and the diet will be pretty much as I bought it. Out of time for anything more, but if THC goes well then round 2 of upgrades for TT13. I have attached an engine bay picture to keep you happy, not that exciting really Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/264/#findComment-6543100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thanks mate What pogo sticks is she running and is the under bonnet colour factory or has it been painted race-spec silver? Will you get a chance to give her a run in anger prior to heading down? I spotted that one on MY105 and got a bit misty in the duds, would be a good, albeit mildly expensive, base car.

Marlin Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 So, importing a late model left hook Porsche from Europe specifically for tarmac rallying and planned to be on rally rego or even Tassie "special interest" rego..... IS LUXURY CAR TAX payable? Can't seem to get a definative answer on this yet? Anyone here got knowledge?

Nee-san Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 If it is, wouldn't it depend if the price of the vehicle is over the LCT threshold ?

IS LUXURY CAR TAX payable? Can't seem to get a definative answer on this yet? Anyone here got knowledge? Weren't some dudes importing them from the States cheap and having the engine/trans removed and shipped separately to avoid something like this? Sorry can't help on your actual question, its a very open for debate question though.

Marlin Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Car is well and truly over the LCT threshhold. Not heard that Timmy? Possible exemption Below is an extract from a conversation; The definition of ‘car’ for LCT purposes is broad and covers basically any road vehicle. The only potential avenue to avoid LCT is the fact that a ‘car’ does not include “racing and rally cars that are not road vehicles and cannot be registered for use on public roads in any country in the world. These racing or rally cars are designed for use only on rally or racing circuits.” SIGNIFICANT work would need to be done to ensure the thing couldn't be registered "in any country in the world"... and who would be the judge of that? Does it just need a cage installed? The engine removed? Cut into little pieces?

PHaT MR30 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Keith Johnstone has just bought a 996 GT3 for a rally car and bought it from the UK or somewhere, don't know if it was already caged or what. Maybe if you can get in contact with him or Pete Nunn they might be able to shed some light.

PHaT MR30 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Further to that, if its a left hooker, it wouldn't really be road registerable would it? So it wouldn't be eligible for LCT? Would CAMS be able to help you? Maybe talk to your State Club and Development Officer?

Marlin Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 The left hook thing was my argument...... they seemed unconvinced and getting ANYTHING in writting from a beaurocrat is nigh impossible.

sav man Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Keiths is a damaged GT3 RS with a factory cage.... and is probably a '20t excavator'. His 944 is a left hook, and rego'd as SI I think there is some trickery you can do with how you pay for it to get round LCT. Buy the 'car' with 1 cheap payment, and they pay separately for the parts. If it's all done o/s it's hard to prove the price The yanks have really weird rules, and they have to dismantle cars, and bring them in as 'parts' Edited September 25, 2012 by sav man Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/264/#findComment-6549869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
t01-100 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 That race car rule is why 911 GT3 Cup's are so well priced from new, because an undertaking is made on import by PCA that these are race cars and not eligible for rego. Under the federal import approval of the Panno as a rally car (to suit SI rego requirements) it will identify it as rego eligible under state delegated authority… Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/264/#findComment-6551613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
