Rwc's And Mods

[quink]

Hi guys,

Quick Q, Just sold the skyline, and thinkin of buyin a NSW RX7 FD and registering in VIC, and its got a few mods as above,

Cat back exhaust, a CF intake pipe thingo, aftermarket SMIC, and power fc.

Do/should i need to take these all off before getting RWC? hopefully i'll be getting the stock parts but unsure atm..

i guess taking off the hand controller should be enough for the PFC.. but all the other bits?

i guess it depends on the place, but do most RWC places ping u for mods?

SMIC is fine as long as it doesn't have a pod filter as well. One induction mod, however, you'd be hard pressed to find a mechanic that knows enough to not pass it.

Power FC, should be able to go under the radar also.

As for the induction pipe, you'd have to have a pretty cluey mechanic to pick you up on it.

Exhaust should be fine as long it's not stupidly loud.

All the best.

As far as i am aware most rwc w/shops are not concerned about epa related mods, as their jobs is to ensure the car is safe for the roads. You may have an issue with the exhaust, if it is too loud.

^^ pretty much on the money.

Some do actually check for ECU, but most run of the mill RWC places simply will not be up with every model and so on so they don't go searching for it so ensure its behind the kick panel and you'll be perfectly ok in that way.

But ye, a super loud exhaust maybe, sometimes they will pick bonnets and so on which again is fair enough given their size/obviousness

ok well that sounds good.. ill grab the stock parts anyway just in case..

Here's a pic of the intake.

So anyone know of a good shop you've had good experience with for RWC around the abbotsford area?

Yeah ProMaz or MazTech are the ones I'd go to. MazTech will sting you in the pocket though if you're not careful or they suspect you are a spanner!
