I'm leaning towards getting a car that's already had the usual mods done to do it, as I figure as long as it's been looked after properly I should be able to save some $$$ over doing the mods myself. I've expanded my search to include the surrounding states since you never know where the right car may be. One of the downsides of buying interstate is you definitely have to organise your own RWC. So, my main question is, how hard is it to get a road worthy on a modified XR6T? Do normal bolt on mods (e.g. coolers/injectors/CAI etc) normally cause problems with been issued a RWC?Also, if you know of any good BF XR6T's for sale, please shout out! Looking for something with a build date post July 06 (preferably), favour sedans but the right ute would tempt me. Carsales is looking a bit bare at the moment.Cheers Edited 15/01/13 03:58 AM by da_ilks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its getting harder to get RWC and with the new rules regarding photo's being taken and documented you will struggle to find a tester that will 'overlook' even the most minor mods so get yourself a standard car for the right money and do the mods yourself and at least with a standard car there's a good chance that it hasnt been flogged within an inch of it's life but as with everything, there are exceptions to every rule! Best of luck with your search mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one stock (injectors and tune) and the guy failed me because he believed it had a bigger turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 25d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 15/01/13 07:54 AM Share Posted 15/01/13 07:54 AM Jesus so different to QLD.. Admittedly you get pulled for aftermarket turbos without mod plates, but a RWC doesn't take into account mods.. They basically just check for oil leaks, functioning brakes, working light globes and CV joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
