Hey guys,

Im just wondering what the lowest legal ride height is because my car is unregistered atm and I was worried about it passing pits.

When I bought the car the previous owner had already installed Öhlins suspension on it and it doesn't look height adjustable to make it any higher.If it is too low how can I raise the suspension instead of dishing out $$$ on coilovers?

Ive heard it is 100mm from the lowest part of your exhaust,can anyone confirm that? Mine is currently sitting at 70mm from the lowest part of exhaust.

Borrow some wheels from someone which have huge tyre profile lol.

Yeah,slam some 4x4 wheels on there,she'll be right haha

yeah 100mm to the lowest point when all seats are loaded with passengers.

suggest you find some stock struts and springs to put in!

I think that might be the way to go.Anyone got some spare stock struts and springs lying around? lol

Also would i still be able to pass with a front mount and a fujitsubo 3inch catback or am i going to have to swap them for the stock ones too?

And ive got a blitz pod but hopefully a CAI would be able to cover that.

As long as you didn't hack up the reo bar to fit the FMIC and it's supported well you should be fine. 3in catback should be ok too, unless it's stupidly loud...

Yep, make sure you have the pod filter bracketed down at two points as well.

LOL, I got so lucky with mine haha.

IMO, just do your best, make it look respectable (legal/clean as you can), go down with a good attitude (dress properly.. no thongs, singlets/cap backwards etc) talk to the guy, just bought it fixing it up for rego, stupid previous owner did that, so I fixed it it this etc etc.

If you still fail, you get a list of what NEEDS to be changed to pass, then you got 30? days to fix that list and you're sweet.

You heard correct, lowest part of car must be 100mm.

Pump lots of air into tyres....

Which part of the car is exactly the lowest part of the car? Is that the exhaust part?

I asked because my front lip is sitting at approximately 80mm off the flat ground level. :P

the mesh or the intercooler,or both?

Ive thought about this idea about painting the cooler black too but if it is good enough to pass pits doesn't that mean it should be alright with the cops?

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!

      We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
