The pursuit against modified cars is such bullsh*t these days.

Everything that is not stock is basically banned or within stupid limits. I mean what do they all expect us to do, buy a Ferrari or other high powered sports cars that can reach ridiculous speed heights anyway? And yet we get into trouble for changing the way our air is collected through our system, making our car "shiny" or the height of our ride among countless others, its just beyond to joke.

I mean ordinary car enthusiasts, who don't street race, can't even have a nice car these days.

Comments such as these "keep the mods within the legal limits and you'll be fine" doesn't mean that you won't be relentlessly hassled by the police or any type of media trying to wreck our hobby. This to, will soon be non-existent, because the way lawmakers are going, the complete ban on customizing a vehicle is on the horizon.

I for one believe that if you are going to modify your car, you should pay a yearly fee or tax estimated by the amount of horsepower output you have (that should make some happy) and then do whatever you like to it (because it's our money that are being spent on our cars, not anyone else s).

Because the police have, and will have high tech equipment that will catch anyone doing the wrong thing, because I'm sure in the future the speeds of our cars on highways etc... will be monitored by advanced satellites.

I mean what has happen to the thought that they are one of human's greatest ever achievement instead of some ruthless killing machine.

But what i am thinking, that's a perfect world that will never exist. :laugh:

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
