cant be flashing

cant be able to see the tubes

i believe theres also something about having red at the back as people might mistake it for brake lights or something.

stick with blue/green/whatever

fact is theres haters for everything, i dont run neons but if you have them and you like them then who cares what they think.

I cop plenty of flac for my girly man bag but that doesnt stop me :P

1. tube must not be visible

2. colour must not be any warning/emergency colour. ei. cops red, blue etc.

3. you can only install 1 neon tube/LED underbody for every 100hp that your car makes. so you'll need 400 hp+

dont get me wrong i love them also but all of the above is a must.

Hay all.... Couldn't really think of a section to put this in, so i thought id go local....

i recently obtained a set of LED underbody lights, (multicolour, flash patterns, bass sensitive) and fitted them, however, am a bit nervous to turn them on while driving around in case i get booked or worse stickered. Since laws vary state to state, i thought here would be a good place to check a) whether anybody else has a set of lights like this, and b)if anyone knows the actual legalitys of driving with them on.

it's ok, i've braced myself for the ricey/bling commments, but they do look cool...

cheers guys,

phil

I have someunderbody lighting too on my magna, I've been stickered for it too which sucks.

Basically you are not allowed to see the tube AT ALL.

One time I got pulled up they let me off with a warning saying "hide it, sticky tape it, or paint it"

another time i got pulled up (stickered) they said tape or paint is not allowed, the tube has to be hidden.

they can also defect your car if your lights FLASH or >> CAN BE MADE TO FLASH << which is bs, because almost all of them can be made to flash, just tell them they cant be made to flash :P

There's a document on the DPI website about it which i printed off and keep in my car, i'll have a look for that shortly, have to start work now :D someone may have already posted it though

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".

      appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
