Need Some Help Getting A Roadworthy!

[SHIZNT]

Hey guys,

Took my car down to a workshop today to see what me car would need to get it to roadworthy status and was pretty much told they wouldnt even look at it unless i put a factory airbox back on it and a airbag steering wheel... so im pretty much screwed as these items weren't given to me when i purhased the car from the dealer.

So if anyone out there around Melbourne has a factory steering wheel and airbox they could lend for a rwc and i hook them up with some cans or cash ect for helping me out it would greatly be appreciated.

Maybe try Bruce at Dandenong Automotive Services.

He may be able to help get you your roadworthy.

Different rules in Vic, only need a RWC when selling or buying a vehicle , in my case im selling it and a buyer is keen but would really like a roadworthy.

Even if i could borrow someones airbox and i give them my pod for a couple of day or two!

i thought pods were legal as long as there were dry, wet filters are a fire hazard.

I left the road at only 90 to 100 km/hr and hit a culvert. Car (S1 Stagea) was written off - lh strut tower pushed back, roof buckled etc. I got out with a scratched elbow - very glad of my airbags thank you.

No joke isn't the new owner going to what an airbag'd wheel anyway?

Stag's with AM (non airbag) wheel FTL in my mind. Its a freakin wagon, seriously how much difference is it going to make? Understandable if you have a track stag or something...

Not that I've crashed mine (and don't intend to!), but I'll be damned if I'm going to reduce the safety of my wagon.

See if you can get a momo airbag wheel, that should help with your style factor while keeping the car legal.

PS, that ebay wheel is from an S2, not a '96...

Maybe try Aaron at Import Monster for his air box?

Unfortunately i recieved the car with the aftermarket wheel and a pod from the importers. The contract has a nice big black stamp on it stating the vehicle was purchased in stock form with no modifications which at the time I wasnt concerned about until now caus i cant get a roadworthy!

bit late now but they would've had to make it legal for you if you'd picked up on it when you bought it. somehow they managed to get a roadworthy when they sold it to you...but dealers often "know someone" who does roadworthys.

if it were me i'd be paying to get the stock wheel and airbox back on...a couple hundred isn't that much to spend if it means getting a good price for the car. a sale is better than no sale...and a legal car is going to be a much more attractive item to potential buyers than an illegal one...

[kidafa]

Post up in the for sale section WTB with what you are after. Best want to find stuff without going to the auctions IMO.

Im sure there will be a few ppl out there with stock airbox's and scoops sitting in there garage that they would love to get rid of as there a large item and a properly installed pod is legal in many states.

As for the wheel i'd be trying all of the jap wreckers.

u can borrow my airbox

i thought pods were legal as long as there were dry, wet filters are a fire hazard.

pods are legal, he must have a front mount too, ur only allowed to have one intake modification, my car went threw EPA and they said it was fine cause i stil had factory intercooler at the time
