ACTUALLY you CANNOT drive a uncomplied fresh off the boat car around LEGALLY. I have already asked the question to QT when I went for my trade plate. once it is complied then yes - providing you have the insurance and day pass done for it.

just to clarify the above point.

I don't think he's talking about a FOB car Chris, but one that's just got compliance plates from the RAWS.

Depends on your state. In NSW you are allowed to drive an unregistered car specifically for the purposes of acquiring registration (eg to get a blue slip, to a weighbridge, to the RTA, etc). Has to be via the most direct route and you should keep paperwork with you at all times in case you get pulled over.

Even with an unregistered vehicle permit, it's only supposed to be used for registration purposes or transporting the vehicle, i.e., you're not SUPPOSED to use it to get groceries at safeway or anything like that, just for getting a roadworthy, going to your Dept. of Motor Vehicles, etc.

    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
    • Forgot to mention. I love the fact that Greg, Gregged Up, the model of his car, that has so many gregged up stories about its build! I had to have a little laugh. At the same time thinking "That's the sort of thing I'd do to myself!"
