Hi Everyone,

I'm relocating from SA to Springfield Lakes. Can you help me with a suggestion of where I should go for a RWC and mod plate?

In another thread I was told my car looked low and that the cops would pull me up straight away. I believe my car is standard height and it's the illusion of the kit that give it the appearance of being low.

Here are the photos I took for the transport company

I can get 2 fingers in between the tires and guard front and rear. Is it too low?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

space between guards and tyres is not an issue, as long as the lowest point of your car (including the exhaust just near the diff) is above 100mm

What parts of the car need to be mod plated?

Everything is above 100mm (when checked on level ground)

I have no idea what needs mod plating (because I'm not familiar with your regulations)

My list of mod are:

Secured Apexi pod (not in a box)

z32 AFM

hard suction kit

T04 Turbo

Stainless ext. manifold

Turbo back ext. with hi flow cat etc. Not loud

Manual boost controller (22psi)

FMIC (metal was cut to accommodate the piping to the throttle body)

After market BOV that is 100% recirculating

Q45 Throttle body

Freddy forward facing intake manifold

1000cc injectors

Top feed fuel rail

Turbo smart FPR

Walbro pump

RB20DET ECU with nistune, running E85

permanent wideband lambda, boost, temp gauges to DLP-I08 and Consult

I think that's about it

You will need a mod plate for the turbo at the very least and the hole for the FMIC will probably need to be certed as well, as for the rest I'm not sure. The reo being cut will be a defect if it is found and can't be mod plated.

I know of a mobile mod plate guy on the northside but I'm not sure how far he roams to plate cars. As everyone said keep your SA rego until you have everything up to scratch.

    • Oh this is my 1998 E39 5 series. It's worth more to me than financial value. It's a project car for me to love and work on without fear of f**king up something that has lots of value or that I need to keep running.
    • I'm super realistic here. I love the car and want to keep it but I know it's days of perfect condition are well and truly over. I just want a fix that won't come back. 
    • All good, I'll tag myself in lol.  What car are we looking at here? What is its value/sentimental value? What type of repair do you want to do, 100% perfect back to stock or are you happy just to have the rust gone? My initial thoughts are not very positive but I'll wait to see what your goals and thoughts are first before I start raining on anyone's parade. 
    • Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.
    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
