Unlucky mate, did you get the standard BOV when you purchase the car ? If so just fit that one on, cause all aftermarket BOV that vents into the atmosphere are illegal. I think you can get permits for the neons now days, correct me if im wrong. And yeah get yourself some decent rubbers dont want to be power drifting on a wet day all over the road haha.

Neons are legal, provided you only see the glow/hue of them, if you can see the light source itself when they are on, you need to fix that up..

bov, provided its not too loud should pass

tyres are tyres, if they are legal go over the pits with them

as for the parcel shelf, provided there has been no steel cut out of it, should be fine, if it has had steel cut out, its a 10k fine for wheoever did it if its a shop, and i think you may be liable for a fine if it was you..

easiest thing to do is run it over the pits and see what they say, 90% of stickers are just time wasters

ahh... unlucky dude,

I had neon’s on my old car they were blue, got over the pits no worries and got permits. Just make sure there secured properly, tubes aren’t visible, are on a separate switch which has an inline fuse on it.

Not sure about BOVs i think there legal if there not too loud or vent into the atmosphere.

Good Luck at the pits, hope all goes well.

I agree with Wildcat i thought that red neons were not legal...

Not 100% sure on that though.

ATMO BOV's are definitely not legal. Chuck the stocker back on, if you do not have it chuck a post up. One of the fine folk on the forums will lend you one.

the reason they didnt do you for pod is because pod filters are legal nopermit is required refer ei-107a fro dpi

EI-107A

Vehicle Safety Branch Examiner’s Instruction

Vehicle Intake and Exhaust Systems

Pre ADR 27C Vehicles

There is evidence to suggest that many ‘hang-on’ emission control devices for these vehicles

are no longer available from original equipment manufacturers and/or spare parts suppliers.

This applies to vehicles manufactured prior to 31 January 1986.

Taking into consideration the non-availability of emission control components, examiners do

not need to insist on original equipment emission control systems being intact.

Consequently vehicle examiners do not need to issue a modification permit for exhaust

extractors.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing

induction noise is not excessive. These include cone or pod type filters.

Not withstanding the above, vehicles must continue to comply with the Road Traffic (Vehicle

Standards) Rules 2002 with respect to the emission of smoke.

Post ADR 37 Vehicles

Vehicles manufactured from 1 February 1986 must continue to comply with the applicable

design rule for the year of manufacture (Australian Design Rule 37/00, 37/01, 79/00 or

79/01).

Catalytic converters and other emission control devices must be retained and functioning

correctly. However where exhaust extractors are fitted a modification permit is not required.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing

induction noise is not excessive and that all engine management sensors are fitted and

operating. These include cone or pod type filters.

Yeah I have read that red and blue neons were illegal as those colours are reserved for emergency vehicles (think there was a thread previously about it).

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
