What mods are legal and illegal?

I'm pretty sure your rims can only be 1 inch bigger in diameter in all states but that's one inch bigger than the biggest size they came with out of the factory, ie factory options included.

Have a look at this, its the Vicroads modification guide.

The width of any replacement rim must not be:  

more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series; or  

less than the width of the narrowest rim specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.  

1 inch wider only.

[Abo Bob]

15mm according to that.

Non standard turbo must be approved too.

see thats the funny thing, all the states are interpreting the ADRs in different ways. The 1 intake modification for example in Vic is rubbish! What does that protect against? Can't you still engineer it?

Someone should really challenge those "interpretations"

If your car dosen't look that 'flashy' you won't be pulled over as much. Some things that really catches a cops eye are big shiney loud mufflers, lots of performance stickers, bright neons and over the top body kits (just keep it simple). Most cops don't know much about cars so if it not noticeable to them you will be safer. Things like turbos and ,pods,blow off valves should be kept out of sight as much as possible, nothing like polished turbos and blow of valves or intercoolers. Oh and gauges have as less as you can preferably not on the dashboard or sides.

Things like thins can really keep you out of the inspection bay.

15mm according to that.

No sorry, you're wrong.

A 25mm increase in width is allowed, and up to 15mm overall increase in wheel and tyre diameter is ok. That means you can legally have 22" rims on your car, as long as you have really low profile tyres, so that the overall diameter is still similar.

...don't try to force Victorian law onto NSW people.....

As previously stated, laws vary from state to state.

abo bob is in fact correct.

Did anyone find out about carbon fibre bonnets or bonnets pins? Also, I was told some non factory body kits eg front bars can be defectable as they're not factory and ' could ' be weaker and if in a crash or hitting a person could bugger up more ect...

Most aftermarket fiberglass front bars are weak as piss and would break into small pieces if in an accident. I wonder how these bars affect the front crumple zone.
