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.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
