xhxrsix Member 174 Member For: 18y 18d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/09/11 03:38 PM Share Posted 06/09/11 03:38 PM I think he's talking about the new vic rules ie the rwc inspector has to take pics of the car when they do a check, that way if vicroads want to check up on them they can ask to see the pics etc. So if they want to be picky a plenum/cooler/piping/anything can be knocked back because its so easy to see in a pic. I don't think the photo's have to be supplied with the rwc I think its more they need to be avaliable if dicroads does a check up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I dont get a yellow sticker I NEVER have to get a roadworthy or take my car over the Pits. You guys cant even use RADAR detectors. Take about a NAZI state.

Photos don't need to be taken of bay as vin and everything is in the inside of the door. Photos are taken before and after of leaks etc, things that have to be rectified to pass. Christian your work stripped the plenum so a thrashed force6 didn't look like a thrashed force6. Mick/ Matty, why does a car have to be EPA/ ADR conpliant to pass a roadworthy. As your nizpro kits are not ADR approved either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
