Getting A Permit..

[Dorigecko]

why waste money making the car street legal if you only use it at the track?

Because it's f**king awesome?

I drive my ceffy everywhere. engine conversion, shocks, fmic, low as shit, will have a half cage with lots of sponsor decals very soon. it will still be daily driven after that.

It's either man up and mod permit your car (with the advantage of full comprehensive insurance), or let your wrists flop and get a trailer and tow hack

Before this breaks into a another Royale of retards vs Ceffy drivers, lets settle this nicely.

This guy has two options depending on his income:

Register all the mods legally and no stress

Buy a trailer and tow it

or option c: just keep driving it as it is!

ffs is not that hard, if you get yellow then oh well hand the plates in and get a trailer.

your mods don't have to be legal to have full comprehensive insurance just means that won't be cover in an accident.

and yes i do agree its f**king awesome to drive a track shitter on the street, because what better way to get around then a fuel hungry, attention grabbing car

Its a track car...he only uses it at the track...so why bother paying for rego on it?

Unless he's going to....not drive like a tool....but lets be realistic.

cuz $400 a year is still cheaper than a trailer or the cost of towing the car for a year

[Nic_A31]

Yeah but the day will come when it gets a yellow sooner or later, so might as well trade the plates in and get an ass hauling rig.

THAT makes life easier when you blow something up at the track and need to drag it home, tow trucks arent cheaper than your own trailer.Not to mention you can have more obvious work done to your track car, ie weld in cages, screamer pipes, straight through exhausts, etc.

Anybody serious about drifting / track cars is on DriftWA, not here, which is why alot of you guys are going to get massacred trying to make sense.

if your mods ARE legal, then they are covered. AND are legal. so you won't get stickered. legally.

not sure what answer you're looking for. my answer is - nothing. at all. ever.

and they're not that fuel hungry if you stay off boost. which is something us responsible, respectable hoons can do quite well.

my points have been made, and still mega on topic. topics are b-class registration vs mod permits vs de-rego and tow it around.

It IS still licenced for the road but i was wondering if id be able to get a permit to drive it to get work done on it, to avoid trouble with the police, yellow sticker etc etc..

Could i tell the licencing center its un registered to obtain a permit? or would they be able to give me one even tho the car remains licenced?

But when the cops pull you over, and see your car IS registered.. they could just sticker it anyway.

Just drive it man. If you get a sticker and don't want to make the car street legal then hand the plates in.

PS. Does anyone know, if you get a sticker and just want to hand the plates in.. does it cost you anything? Or do you just go hand in the plates, and take the yellow off yourself?

i'm not 100% sure but i think permits, b-rego will be class as the normal 3rd party for personally injury. with regards to property, i would say you would need to look a specialize insurer that does race cars

cheers !!!

i get towed to drift practice/comps by my mate... but im looking to get one of those year long permits (costs just under $50) so i can take the 32 to No Limits (a CAMS scrutineered event), due to the fact i dont need to bring spare tyres, jacks etc to No Limits.

but yeh, if i cant get 3rd party insurance (not the one with regos) for the 32 when its on permits, then theres no point driving on the road

[syfon]

If you go to a Licensing centre to get a permit, they will need either the plate number or Eng/Vin # and the records will show up the the vehicle is rego'd, so your best bet is to either put in on a car trailer to get it there or drive it there very carefully.

As long as the vehicle is rego'd and it is "road legal" or "roadworthy" as the police would say, then you will be fine.

So, you can't get a permit for the car coz it's rego'd

[syfon]

Whenever you purchase a temporary permit, you have 48hours in which the permit is active, however the permit is only valid if you are driving to/from where you have written down on the permit.

With regards to 3rd party insurance on rego and permits - if you are at fault in a motoro vehicle accident, your car is rego'd and your driver's licence is valid, and you injure another person in the accident, then the gov't 4rd party insurance covers the cost of personaly injury only. As i'm sure most of you are aware, 3rd party insurance for damage to private property etc is only through private insurance companies.

[syfon]

SKYRYAN - If you get a yellow sticker and want to de-register your car, you just hand in the number plates and take the sticker off yourself. It doesn't cost anything. If there is any remaining registration on the vehicle when you hand in the plates, you can fill in a Vehicle Licence Refund Form and get a cheque for the amount of rego remaining.

You still have to take it over the pits to re-register it though....

i dont know why this thread is still going, was answered ages ago.

basically- he's scared to drive it on the road,

asked about moving permit- they are for unrego'd cars only- he says "i want to keep it rego'd"

there u go.

frankly i dont know what the problem is, says its basically stock with some interior removed and big stickers.

even if got a yellow sticker it wouldnt be hard to get it off.

also, if thats the specs of a 'drift car'-does anyone know of a skyline on the road that wouldnt fall under that category?
