Legal Vs Illegal?

[R33Keaton]

Hey Jez id also like to know about whats illegal/what isnt... in regards to the spoiler, it looks pretty phat haha, but is it worth it. i guess its unique compared to the normal GTR wing. Ill do some research

[StevenCJR31]

as stated above our laws here are vague and open to interpretation and how the coppers are feeling on the day they pull you up, suggest you paint the whole of the wing the same colour as the car (make sure the brake light works) as different colour panels/parts stick out like dogs gonads

[Paulie C]

I say don't put it on, our cars look heaps better without spoilers, and its not gonna get you any performance gain, if you want it to look tough, get some sort of bonnet scoop/vents, thats what i'm thinkin bout doin.

[StevenCJR31]

becarefull about cutting the bonnet for vents etc as it it can weaken the bonnet and if you cut through the bracing on the underside it can lead to a defect notice

Ok...so that leads me to another question....been thinking on the lines of getting a bonnet scoop...something that can be "stuck" on....not interested in it actually having a hole in the bonnet. Iv heard it is legal but needs to have mesh on it??? yes no maybe??

And yeah the wing is BLOODY heavy...so thinkin of keepin the stock one atm....(the search continues....)

Hey actually come to think of it...il put a pic up of the car now

why don't you read the VSB documents which tell you exactly what is and is not legal?

You want a bonnet scoop without cutting a hole in the bonnet??

For starters, that's just gay R.I.C.E. shit that will draw unwanted attention for no reason.

Secondly, if you don't have a hole in your bonnet, why would you need to mesh the scoop??

[Dingus]

Yeah agreed with bubba. Stick-on scoops below on Lancers and Excels with neons.

stick on bonnet scoop lol, while ur at it buy an old scuba tank bottle paint the word NOS and cable tie it to ur roof. but if you do go ahead with the scoop it wont be illegal coz it doesnt do anything.

the general rule with scoops etc is that they cant be rear facing ie a wrx with forward facing scoop is fine, evo scoops that face toward the windscreen arent. we had alot of issues with the clowns down at the pits coz they didnt wanna rego brand new evos with factory rear facing scoops

Jez NF thats a sick looking 33 don't change the spoiler, that looks phat, as for the bonnet scoop i didn't say i was gonna be cutting holes in it myself, was talking bout getting an aftermarket pre-done bonnet, theres plenty of shops around aus willing to ship to ya as you would know, but to be worrying bout heat from the cops cause of an add on to bodywork wouldn't worry bout it as long as you don't drive like a nut.

Thanks

And yeah.....even if i do get bodywork done its gonna be done "professionally" and so that it looks perfect...i love my car and everything iv done to it has been done the right way.

By scoop I mean a subtle one...just to make it a tad more agressive without losing the classy look...this car is not meant to look like a track car / a mean agressive loud obnoxious beast....my next drift car will fill that gap hopefully...this is my daily and has to look classy enuff for my lady while still pushin out the performance and look to please me...

Anyway...to get back on topic...thanks to PIG_31 for that link.......really clears up a lot of stuff.....good read
