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.

As previously stated, laws vary from state to state.

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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
