My concern is the car being defected because of mods. Need to find out what is leagle and what is not. May be APS and their mean and green package maybe worth looking into.

Falcon - if you're worried about being defected, go and speak with an engineer before you mod your car.

I have spoken with Ray Spence from Canberra Motor Works in Mitchell and in my discussions with him, he has advised that in most instances if the vehicle can pass an emissions test (the closest testing facility is in Penrith), than the vehicle would be engineerable. (Things like intercoolers with plumbed back BOVs can be listed as being aesthetic mods.) Upgrading your turbo and/ or exhaust can be a little bit more problematic, with noise and emissions restrictions.

If you don't wish to engineer your vehicle, the best advice I can provide is to ensure your vehicle is not TOO LOW or TOO LOUD. These two things alone will ensure unwanted attention from the popo and local RTA inspectors.

Jono, while I will admit your car has some tuckage, it is far from being sacked on its gutz !!!

Thanks,

I am in NSW so I need to get an inspection done each year. I think I will speak with the guy doing the inspection and see what he will pass and what he wont. This seems to vary between places that do inspections.

^^ I didn't even think about asking the guy who does my pink slip what he thinks of the mods lol. I'll get regoed just before the tune so I'll get away with it for a year and then valet tune it for the pink slip
