sorry for shit pics but say if the big block was the front bar

the lil thing that sicks on to the front bar to incrase the aerodynamics in the front.

like the stuff they put on the race cars for downforce

are they legal??? i wouldnt mind some..

id imagine cops would love them, as they'd cut your ankle up pretty bad if you brushed past them....let alone get hit by one. they'd be classed as a protrusion.

garage 13 might have some.

cheers

if youre going to DIY do it properly, those DIY ones look like they'd cut ur leg up if they brushed you.

theyre pretty easy to make good curved ones yourself using dry layup CF

get some card,

cut it to shape,

lay some fiberglass mat

resin

carbon twill matt

resin

and a gel coat

sand and polish

I have some for my 32GTR. not carbon though, aluminium. look pretty cool, but totaly illegal as they are a great pedestrian hazard. also a pain in the arse as they stick out they would be quite easy to hit gutters etc. they do look nice though.

they were on the car, but have now been removed. plus I just had my front bar re-sprayed so the mounting holes have now been filled so I probably wont be putting them back on for a while (if ever). the look just like pretty much any other set of carnards.

I have tried this but it doesn't look as good...

seriously though. they are a bitch for any normal driving (parking etc) as the become the front most and widest point of your car and you can't see them... do a nice job of scratching up someone elses car, or get smashed off on a pole in a car park, or have someone f**k their leg on it an sue you. yeah they create a certain look, but they are best left to track only.

Would you be interested in selling them...what are they worth to you?, plain old curiosity has me wanting to try some to see if i notice any mor emid corner/front end grip:)

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
