I just rang PVP and they want $1580 to comply my car :S Is it just me or is that expensive? Any other places people could recomend so I can compare prices?

Rang the guy at import spares and he recomended PVP, I would definatly go with PVP but its so expensive, I was expecting $1300 max. Maybe if I could get another quote PVP would try to match it?

I had all three of my cars complied by Joanne, Neil, Craig and the rest of the crew at Best Enterprises. I'd recommend them. Heaps of contact, reasonable prices, professional job. Need I say more.

The cost depends on the mods u have as well - some will need to be removed and refitted for the Regency run.

Also the fact that you have a 4 door means u will need an extra set of side intrusion bars for the rear?

Most ppl suggest PVP and Best Enterprises. Ring both for a quote and see how u go. If u can do arrange it, take it to them so they can give u a better idea.

I got home to late to ring Best Enterprises, ill try to get hold of them tomorrow or Saturday. I was just wondering does Best Enterprises take your car through regency for you because I know PVP does.

The thing is even if alot of mods have to be removed from my car I definatly aint paying $1580 and then even more for the mods to be removed.

How much does it cost for regency to have a look at your car? Maybe thats where the extra $300 is comming onto the PVP price, unless Best Enterprises takes your car through and only charges $1200?

ring this dude, his names tom 0438843693,hes a good bloke and he'll do it cheep. he can also supply intrution bars cheeper than every where elce,he works from home. i used best enterprises for a silvia that i had,expencive but they do the job.doin it ur self is another very cheep way of doin it, just get some one to weld the bar's in for ya and all the rests childs play,thats what ill be doin from now on.

Best enterprise do it and they charge $1400

PVP.

I'm doing my own compliance, and the guy there sold me all the stuff I need to do it myself.

they do the full job including taking it through regency for about $1100.

after getting half way through a DIY compliance, I recon its worth every cent.

how much is the "compliance kit" cost u?

cheers

This is what I spent.....

$75 Child restraints ($25 ea)

$18 Fuel restrictor

$220 intrusion bars

$10 stickers (tyre placard etc)

$7 VIN

$80 led brake light

$200 engineering report.

Plus a heap of work. the door glass needs to come out and the doors need to come off to get the intrusion bars in neatly.

plus I've done new brake discs and upper control arm bushes....

Best Enterprizes do charge you to take gear off to get through Regency. All the stuff off my grey GTR amounted to over $600. It also cost that amount again to get everything refitted (but not by Best Ent). They take the car through Regency and charge an hours labour $66, but this would be included in your original quote from them.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
