Legalities Regariding A Few Things

[trism]

1. quick release/removable steering wheels. are they allowed?

2. stripped out interiors. whats the limit on what we can take out

3. cages, can they be bolt in, or do they need to be fully intergrated? halfcage? fullcage?

this is all to be in a road registered car, so im interested to know what i can and cant do

Quick Release hubs illegal in NSW, Reason Im not sure.

Stripped interiors illegal to a point, I believe some interior parts like door trims are fine removed but Back seats are a No no.. Because the car is registered as a 5 seater. Reregister it as a 2 seater and your ok

I believe rollcages are illegal in general, My cousin (yeah I know how it sounds - BRO) had a cortina with full cage and was constantly defected for it. so go figure.

Check with RTA

This has been covered many times and Im sure someone will post a link because I can't find one yet

Although some people have their cages engineered, Ando in his ceffie did and Im sure alot of others have here too.

can the cops tell if the steering is quick release?

full cage isn't legal but a half cage (rear of the car only) is fine if you register it as a 2 seater.

i run a full cage in the car but that is under conditional/rally rego which is different to normal rego rules

we are fitting a Cusco half cage to an EVO next week and it will be engineered and be 100% legal

The only way to be certain is to go talk to the RTA or a RTA certified engineer. They are the ones that set the rules.

There is a list of signatories. 2 seconds looking on the RTA site.
