some of you may not know that there are changes to modified vehicle laws that are about to happen in W.A, this has not been publicised hardly at all, (GEE I WONDER WHY THAT IS?
the clincher is that we only have till april 9th then its all over to have any say in the matter. basically they are trying to restrict what we have already even further, the eastern state laws are to fall in line with this also at a later date, so everybody has somethig to loose here. if you are building or contemplating building a modified car you really need to read this urgently as they can change their mind if your car can be registered by the time you have completed it.
this also affects people with cars that are already modified as it states a car can be recalled for inspection at any time and can be deemed unregisterable even if engineered. the mongrels are taking away our right to drive what we like and another peice of our freedom that our diggers gave their lives for.
please dont think SHE'LL BE RIGHT! thats the thinking thats got this country into the mess its already in now. please take the time to read up on this matter, this will also have an impact on the performance and aftermarket car industry, so if you are in that line of buisiness i strongly sugest you read the info suppied and voice your opinion. we cant let them get away with this. info and links are below. they dont want modified cars on the road full stop. please back us up ad lets do something about it while we can. thankyou.
THIS IS CRITICAL TO THE FUTURE OF MODIFIED CARS.
Have a good easter in your pride and joy because next easter things could be alot different.
This quote below is from
http://www.pharosalex.com.au/pages/33achome.html Note:
Builders, modifiers and owners of vehicles need to be aware that compliance with this NCOP does not guarantee that a vehicle will be acceptable for registration in the case of an ICV or for continued registration in the case of a modified registered production vehicle. If, for example, an ICV submitted for approval does not handle or brake satisfactorily or has any other feature that renders the vehicle unsafe or not roadworthy, it is most unlikely that it will be accepted for registration.
It is also important that builders and owners keep abreast of changes to legislation and vehicle registration policy in their jurisdiction, particularly in cases where a project is expected to take some years to complete. Changes to legislation before a vehicle is completed may mean that certain vehicles cannot be registered without appropriate modifications. Similarly, regulations pertaining to vehicle modifications, vehicle standards or registration policy may change causing certain vehicle modifications to become unacceptable in the future.
Take this how you choose, but the way i see it, should they choose, that project your building, V8, 4 linked, tubbed etc could well become a white elephant and never see registration, let alone the road. This has already had an impact on one of my projects, due to track widths and 4 link.
Eastern staters, in the not too distant future could well be in the same position we sandgropers in W.A are already. How about this for an example...
MAXIMUM RIM SIZE FX - HR 5.85 inches. ( but out of the generousity of their hearts they will allow 6 inches )
REGARDLESS WHETHER FULLY ENGINEERED OR NOT, OR SUPSENSION REDESIGNED, ALL TRACK WIDTHS NOT TO EXCEED 25MM GREATER THAN ORIGINAL SPECS, NO TOLERANCE FOR UNDERTRACK.
If you dont give a shit for the future of our hobby, then dont bother reading.
