3" FIA approved with centre rotary release are not ADR approved.

The only ones that meet the ADR are the ones with standard seat belt style centre release and these are usually 2" and much cheaper than 3".

That said... I've only ever used 3" with rotary release and never been a problem when Police at looked at the cars, but might be a different issue if a Transport Inspector took a look.

cheers for that mate, I read also that i still have to keep the factory seatbelt and plug?... even though it doesn't need to be used?

I reckon you'd only need to keep the standard belt if you want to use the rear drivers side seat for a passenger as the harness would get in the way otherwise unless you had the car signed off as a two or three seater as some Targa cars are.

I'd keep it fitted too... in my experience you get over the harness pretty quick and a standard belt is much nicer if you had to drive from Hobart to Launceston etc.

      The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right
