I believe - for things like pins, bonnet scoups and so on... if they fall outside whats legal (and basically all of them do)

Then its an engineers, same as a non factory motor, brakes, suspension and so on that affect the car over general roadworthy...

By general i mean things like tyres, head/tail lights, seatbelts, "H" pattern on gearknob... all that pissy stuff in otherwords :)

So you would have filled the non-general. just because you put the factory bonnet on doesnt mean you aint going to swap it back later ;)

Same as the EPA has an apparent 3-strike rule... if you get 3 basic exhaust noise tests then they haul you in for a full EPA to check as obviously your swapping out mufflers and whatever else. Or they start taking pics and then your really fked.

hahah i got yelled at tonight for my S2 driving lights... aparently i'm not allowed to have them on

No you are not, if i could i would smash everyones with a hammer, they shit me.

do you need an engineers cert for changinging the brakes and suspension setup? so say new brakes, brake lines, LCA's shocks springs steering arms etc? also for a new rear axel and diff? or... yeah

Q57: When can i use the fog lamps on my car

A: There is no restriction on the use of front fog lamps. However the lamps must be correctly aimed as fog lamps so as not to dazzle other road users. Rear fog lamps may only be lit in abnormal weather conditions

Found that little bit of information interesting, however there may have been a new rule put in since then. If anyone has it in writing would be good.

Those rear lights are f**king blinding too, i use to do a run to warrnambool and back every night, one night i was following a chick in an excel and every time she put her high beams on she would put on her fog lights, no need for them but she did it every time and the rear light would light up the cab of the truck, in the end every time she put on her fog lights i would put my high beams on, did it all the way from colac to the next major town which i cant remember the name of, probably a good 50 k's.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
