Pre-pit Checklist, Help Needed!

[HypeR33]

Do you have to ask for permits before the car gets inspected, or get the car inspected then ask for the permits?

I want to get a heavily modded car through, and am thinking its best not to tell them too much, but would like permits for most things if possible,

Oh yeah, its for a rego swap too, does it need a full inspection?

cheers

Hey Steve...

From my experience they go over the car and list everything that you need a permit for, and as long as everything passes you then get the permits. Maybe depends on the mods on your heavily modded car. Anything that are are not sure the legality of, might be an idea to ring ahead to make sure one of your mods wont fail the inspection.

Do you mean rego swap from another states plates? If thats the case, I am sure it will need a full inspection.

Hope that helps a bit

Hey Steve,

State rego change will require a full inspection the same as if it was getting rego'd for the first time, as all the state laws are different.

I am pretty sure that as long as everything is secured and installed professionally there shouldn't be any problems. Some of the stuff you have listed I am not sure about, but there are guys out there running some heavily modded cars...maybe not all with permits though

Do you have A pillar guages? If you do, they may complain about them. The east Perth pits didn't like mine and witheld my permit for them until it was looked at by the Technical team at Welshpool. They didn't like them either as it stuck out in front of the nardi steering wheel and blocked some corner view, but the permit said 'gauges' and so even if I changed them, they had to allow it as it was already okayed by the permit...but I think generally they aren't too happy with dual A-pillar guage pods.

Also...make sure that you have plenty of clearance/travel with your suspension...they almost failed mine because it was too stiff and so didn't give enough travel on bumps. Got through though...luckily

Good luck with it all...hope it gets cleared

Sounds good, cheers. I have been putting it off cos I dont want the car defected
