why waste money making the car street legal if you only use it at the track?

Because it's f**king awesome?

I drive my ceffy everywhere. engine conversion, shocks, fmic, low as shit, will have a half cage with lots of sponsor decals very soon. it will still be daily driven after that.

It's either man up and mod permit your car (with the advantage of full comprehensive insurance), or let your wrists flop and get a trailer and tow hack

Before this breaks into a another Royale of retards vs Ceffy drivers, lets settle this nicely.

This guy has two options depending on his income:

Register all the mods legally and no stress

Buy a trailer and tow it

or option c: just keep driving it as it is!

ffs is not that hard, if you get yellow then oh well hand the plates in and get a trailer.

your mods don't have to be legal to have full comprehensive insurance just means that won't be cover in an accident.

and yes i do agree its f**king awesome to drive a track shitter on the street, because what better way to get around then a fuel hungry, attention grabbing car

Yeah but the day will come when it gets a yellow sooner or later, so might as well trade the plates in and get an ass hauling rig.

THAT makes life easier when you blow something up at the track and need to drag it home, tow trucks arent cheaper than your own trailer.Not to mention you can have more obvious work done to your track car, ie weld in cages, screamer pipes, straight through exhausts, etc.

Anybody serious about drifting / track cars is on DriftWA, not here, which is why alot of you guys are going to get massacred trying to make sense.

your mods don't have to be legal to have full comprehensive insurance just means that won't be cover in an accident.

if your mods ARE legal, then they are covered. AND are legal. so you won't get stickered. legally.

not sure what answer you're looking for. my answer is - nothing. at all. ever.

and they're not that fuel hungry if you stay off boost. which is something us responsible, respectable hoons can do quite well.

lol im not looking for an answer i guess you miss my point. way off topic as it is, so no point saying anymore.

btw my shitter comment wasn't directed at your car, just what i use

my points have been made, and still mega on topic. topics are b-class registration vs mod permits vs de-rego and tow it around.

It IS still licenced for the road but i was wondering if id be able to get a permit to drive it to get work done on it, to avoid trouble with the police, yellow sticker etc etc..

Could i tell the licencing center its un registered to obtain a permit? or would they be able to give me one even tho the car remains licenced?

But when the cops pull you over, and see your car IS registered.. they could just sticker it anyway.

Just drive it man. If you get a sticker and don't want to make the car street legal then hand the plates in.

PS. Does anyone know, if you get a sticker and just want to hand the plates in.. does it cost you anything? Or do you just go hand in the plates, and take the yellow off yourself?

i'm not 100% sure but i think permits, b-rego will be class as the normal 3rd party for personally injury. with regards to property, i would say you would need to look a specialize insurer that does race cars

cheers !!!

i get towed to drift practice/comps by my mate... but im looking to get one of those year long permits (costs just under $50) so i can take the 32 to No Limits (a CAMS scrutineered event), due to the fact i dont need to bring spare tyres, jacks etc to No Limits.

but yeh, if i cant get 3rd party insurance (not the one with regos) for the 32 when its on permits, then theres no point driving on the road

If you go to a Licensing centre to get a permit, they will need either the plate number or Eng/Vin # and the records will show up the the vehicle is rego'd, so your best bet is to either put in on a car trailer to get it there or drive it there very carefully.

As long as the vehicle is rego'd and it is "road legal" or "roadworthy" as the police would say, then you will be fine.

So, you can't get a permit for the car coz it's rego'd :D

Whenever you purchase a temporary permit, you have 48hours in which the permit is active, however the permit is only valid if you are driving to/from where you have written down on the permit.

With regards to 3rd party insurance on rego and permits - if you are at fault in a motoro vehicle accident, your car is rego'd and your driver's licence is valid, and you injure another person in the accident, then the gov't 4rd party insurance covers the cost of personaly injury only. As i'm sure most of you are aware, 3rd party insurance for damage to private property etc is only through private insurance companies.

SKYRYAN - If you get a yellow sticker and want to de-register your car, you just hand in the number plates and take the sticker off yourself. It doesn't cost anything. If there is any remaining registration on the vehicle when you hand in the plates, you can fill in a Vehicle Licence Refund Form and get a cheque for the amount of rego remaining.

You still have to take it over the pits to re-register it though....

i dont know why this thread is still going, was answered ages ago.

basically- he's scared to drive it on the road,

asked about moving permit- they are for unrego'd cars only- he says "i want to keep it rego'd"

there u go.

frankly i dont know what the problem is, says its basically stock with some interior removed and big stickers.

even if got a yellow sticker it wouldnt be hard to get it off.

also, if thats the specs of a 'drift car'-does anyone know of a skyline on the road that wouldnt fall under that category?

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
