The width of any replacement rim must not be:  

more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series; or  

less than the width of the narrowest rim specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.  

1 inch wider only.

see thats the funny thing, all the states are interpreting the ADRs in different ways. The 1 intake modification for example in Vic is rubbish! What does that protect against? Can't you still engineer it?

Someone should really challenge those "interpretations" :(

If your car dosen't look that 'flashy' you won't be pulled over as much. Some things that really catches a cops eye are big shiney loud mufflers, lots of performance stickers, bright neons and over the top body kits (just keep it simple). Most cops don't know much about cars so if it not noticeable to them you will be safer. Things like turbos and ,pods,blow off valves should be kept out of sight as much as possible, nothing like polished turbos and blow of valves or intercoolers. Oh and gauges have as less as you can preferably not on the dashboard or sides.

Things like thins can really keep you out of the inspection bay.

15mm according to that.

 

Non standard turbo must be approved too.

No sorry, you're wrong.

A 25mm increase in width is allowed, and up to 15mm overall increase in wheel and tyre diameter is ok. That means you can legally have 22" rims on your car, as long as you have really low profile tyres, so that the overall diameter is still similar.

Did anyone find out about carbon fibre bonnets or bonnets pins? Also, I was told some non factory body kits eg front bars can be defectable as they're not factory and ' could ' be weaker and if in a crash or hitting a person could bugger up more ect...

Most aftermarket fiberglass front bars are weak as piss and would break into small pieces if in an accident. I wonder how these bars affect the front crumple zone.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
