Its viewable from the front and isnt angled. Its legal, and passed regency without any hassles. I'd know about it if it wasn't.

-D

i wouldnt be so confident, regency arent gonna call you on sumthing like that, its a cop and cop only related issue. from the 1 officer i have spoken to about it the front licence plate must be straight in line with the front of the car and above 300mm high. i just went with a slim line cc plate on a bracket in the place provided so there isnt an ounce of IC coverd up.

edit** this would be the perfect thing for old mate neil to clear up.....

anyways im gonna go check this ns v sau thread for some lulz

Nonsense. It is a regency issue since they are the definitive authority for the stamp of approval. Them being "engineers" and sapol being "police"

FYI I did some reading tonight.... you're right about the left hand plates being legal, but so is mine - because the plates can have a maximum of 20' angle from front on - which mine is so close to front on, its not funny. and it never stopped me from getting owned by a speed camera (i got the notice for speeding 58kph in a 50 zone and it wasnt accompanied by a notice regarding the plates).

And why wouldn't I be confident Rhys? The relocation kit came from japan when the car was imported by its previous owner (writeoff) and it passed regency upon its compliance. The car has been here for 4 years and never had a defect notice. Fact. And I have been 'randomly' pulled over and then let off after a bretho check, and again on another occasion when they were checking registrations.....I can't believe you think that it would be otherwise, when you haven't even seen the car in person.... unless you're just doing your usual stirring shit routine and are basing your opinion on a 300 pixel avatar.

Died, was looking like a heated battle was looming between Ruby in the blue (mesh) corner for SAU, and everyone else in the red corner for NS :(

I admire his dedication to reply to every cheap shot individually, layed the grounds for a pretty good shit slinging match but it wasn't to be :P

there was some epic lulz to be had in that short battle though, if only they had let it go on longer :)

wheres this lulz thread on ns

hey Steve, with your twin straight pipes exhaust do still use a muffler????

i was thinking of going to a exhaust like yours and return my external gate to vent to atmosphere again (miss scarreng ppl)

Just personally, I reckon he faulted a bit with the discreet call.

Full body kit, shiny 18s and colourful meshing (which you've gotta admit stands out against the black) isn't what I'd call discreet or stealth, but anyway that point had already been argued :(

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
