Anyone paid their rego late? 2 Regos due this month, neither cars are on the road.

Vicroads website says you can pay rego up to 3 months after it expires, you're just not allowed to drive it until you do. Anyone done this?

Yeah I've done this for a car I wasn't using. You can leave it lapsed for 3 months before you need to re-register with a RWC. Until that 3 months you can just pay it at any time as you normally would...however...it doesn't extend the registration period so if you pay after 2 months you only get 10 months rego out of it :(

drive it unregistered anyway but keep a kg of ice in the boot and a hand gun in the glovebox. they wont worry about the rego if you get pulled up.

Just don't do what a mate of mine from uni did...

Left it for 2 months, drove it anyway... got flashed by a red light camera after getting stuck behind a truck in a turning lane and didn't see the light changing....

$$$$$$ Unregistered Vehicle fine

$$$$$$ New Rego costs

$$$ Red light camera fine

The better part of $1500, didn't see him at any of the Uni Bar nights for the next few months after that

lol unregistered fine is exactly the cost of rego, have to hand it to them it's incentive enough to register...but sucks for people who haven't received notices and now the stickerless system there is no easy reminder of when it's due.

I'm told you can register on VicRoads to get sms reminders of it.

I copped a fine for unregistered driving but I paid rego on the spot while the cop was there (she wouldn't let me drive off unless I paid it then and there), then sent a letter to civ compliance pleading ignorance (it was true I hadn't received any rego reminder in the mail) and they let me off = save $700 worth of fine.

Hmm wheel decisions. Work Emotion CR Kai bronze (second hand), R34 GTR wheels (second hand) or MP37s (brand new with new tyres)? All should cost me between $1,500 - $2,000.

Here's a picture comparison:

MP37 (same style, not genuine TE37's)

manufacturer built a char grill for us, all compliant to AGA standards. arrives at the site with no flame failure(a mandatory requirement, selling them without this = a huge fine), company refuses to fit it, AGA gets involved... now we wait.

While I agree NOT building a road for the better part of a billion dollars is a completely retarded idea... you do realise that report also says the contracts shouldn't have been signed in the first place right? it's even in the headline...

In any case we probably wouldn't need another 92 schools if Kennet hadn't closed and sold off 350 ;)

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
