For those guys out there that have de-winged their VR-X's, what do you do about the high mount stop light? :confused: My VR-X only has the one in the wing. If I took the wing off, I'd have to buy a new brake light and wire it in. What a pain.

do u mean the stop light in the wing itself ??

i had a light on my wing, i just chopped the wire, put some tape around it so it didnt touch nething and then just left it up under the boot lid

No he means the one in the rear window that we should have now we dont have a spoiler brake light...

I just havent bothered with mine, i will leave it till i have a problem..

I don't know why you guys do it.
I love the VRX/sports wing and the Ralliart wing, very distinctively magna/mitsu.
But each to their own, I have a wagon so I cant really comment, although am thinking about a sports wagon spoiler (after the kit gets put on of course) Not too sure wether I like it enough to actually do it but.

Can someone post a pic of their de winged vrx?

oh i see well i dont have a light on my parcel shelf so i dont see y takin off the wing u would have to wire up another brake light ?

DOT regulations in Australia state that you must have a high mount stop light. By all rights you should not get a pink slip if you don't have one.

After a build date of 1990 something I asume.

er wouldnt know bout the regulations bout a top mounted light ??
never heard of ne drams without having one before ??

depending on what state....

if you had a wing with a brake light (standard) and u take that wing off then u have to place one on the rear window other was its like what u said not dot and get defected,fined...

probably never get caught, but spose ya never know :confused:

Meh, i think you might be confused. Magnas that came out of the factory with no wings had a top mount brake light in the parcel shelf right up against the rear window. If a magna with a spoiler had one of these it would be useless as the spoiler is in the way of it, so those with spoilers instead have their high mount brake light actually in the spoiler itself.

Therefore those people who have removed the stock spoilers are now missing a high mount brake light

yeh i had a brake light in my wing standard and caz i took it off i dont have one in my parcel shelf,

if this "defect" is true, how didi get a safety certificate on it and got it rego'd and the transport place did their own inspection and still passed it :nuts:

hmmmmmmm

all standard cars must have a high mount one if they dont hav a spoiler one coz with out this in some cases at night, people dont know if you are braking specially if the tail lights are on and when tails overpower the brake lights thats why they made this as a regulation and as standard

Probably because they either didn't know/notice it
or
They aren't an*l ba*tards

LOL my rear window brake light hasn't worked for 6 months plus! and i've been in front of many cop cars, i dont think they really care.

It depends on the copper... Though, any walking up to my car at this exact moment (it's in a perpetual state of missing bits and pieces) will have a field day...

I love the wings and want one for the back of my Verarda AWD, maybe turn it into a Phantom GTV alha new Verarda AWD. Anyway if anyone wants the light for the rear window I'll swap it for a wing. The wiring is only a matter of unplugging in the loom so Please DON"T cut the wires, then you just plug in the shorter loom to the rear window.

Good trade that.

Can someone post a pic of their de winged vrx?

This is what they look like the day you get it and then 3months later. They look heaps better thats why we do it and MEH to the shelf lights...

I don't think i'd ever consider de-winging my ralliart. if i did it would only be to fit a smaller wing like the VRX style one.

hmmmm reminds me of my dream for a completely de-winged ralliart with vrx kit :cool:

I think taking the wing off the ralliart just takes the whole effect away, wouldnt do it if i had a ralliart..

My wing is staying... it adds so much to the look... especially side on.

and the light? from TH on... (mine is TJ vr-x) .. the light is high up near the roof, under the rear window glass .. not on the shelf. I would say it would be a case of wiring it up. :nuts:

hmmmm reminds me of my dream for a completely de-winged ralliart with vrx kit :cool:

Bizarre, Why bother. :nuts:

well u would have a 180kW dewinged VRX that would fly and look sexy

i wanna see a dewinged ralliart

wings suck IMO

You're crazy man :nuts:
If you want a quick VRX, here's a thought, buy a VRX and mod it.
Probably be cheaper and you wouldn't be f*#king up a perfectly good Ralliart car.
Just my opinion lol

De-wing a ralli art? thats like taking a turbo out of an XR6 turbo, YOU JUST DONT DO IT. De-winged ralli art with a vrx kit? thats abit silly, just buy a vrx and do a couple of mods and you'll get 180kW easy. I reckon ralli art wings are awesome, really makes a ralli art a ralli art.

:stoopid:

Right on brother!!
(Pay backs a bit*h ay lol )

mine came with a vrx wing on it but its a genuine ralliart

ralliart wings are big and ugly, and no it doesnt make it a ralliart coz any fool can put one of those ugly wings on a magna/lancer

as i said IMO each to there own really, i jsut dont like wings i think cars look cleaner/sexier without a wing

']ralliart wings are big and ugly, and no it doesnt make it a ralliart coz any fool can put one of those ugly wings on a magna/lancer

as i said IMO each to there own really, i jsut dont like wings i think cars look cleaner/sexier without a wing

So get a vrx!? :D

*hijack*

As stated i had someone who took my bar for two weeks and did it for me. Complete custom job and was never done anything like it before. Cost and arm and a leg but came out really nice, Just what i wanted..

I said it was a dream of mine, as in if money was no object. I think I'd rather start with 180kW and mod it than start with 163kW and mod it :nuts:

And Mitsubishi already did a good job fu%king up a perfectly good magna when they made the Ralliart :P jokes......calm down ralliart owners

High mount stop light (highlight) are mandated by an ADR 60, your car will be built to comply with all relevant ADRs. By removing the spoiler light and not replacing it, your car no longer complies therefore unroadworthy, this also goes where both spoiler and rear screen highlight are connected at the same time. The ADR state that there can only be one central highlight or you may have 2 but they must be on the same horizontal plane.

As for the cops not noticing, thats easy you obviously weren't speeding cause I'm damn sure that's the only thing you get booked for anymore . The number of times I've seen the road rules broken with cops right at the scene and nothing being done is ridiculous :rant: why, they weren't speeding.
Main roads/RTA wouldn't have a clue(not their fault) there's so many ADRs and it's not really their job as far as rego renewal goes.
The people doing safety certs/pink slips should know from what year cars have a highlight and pick it up as part of the light check.
