Gday all,

Just thought id post this bit of info i aquired a few days ago.

Few weeks ago i submitted an application for sum mods with the DPI (lowering with lows, 18x8 rims with 235's, exctractors with full exhaust upgrade to 2,3/4 inch).

Got a call from the DPI on friday. The guy says "why did you make an application, these mods require no approval or inspection (website says different) you can do all of these and we dont need to know about it".

Specificaly for the rims he told me "18x8's with 235's are fine so long as they dont rub or foul. 19's or 20's (with correct tyres) are good too if they dont rub or foul".

Lowering is all good aslong as you have 100mm ground clearance and the bottom of head lights are no lower than 500mm to ground.

Exhaust all good if not too noisey.

If any one else has any thing to add or share on this subject....post away, the more info the better for clarification or for people new to moding as im a reborn modder(lil bit older, wiser and lil bit more repect for the revenue raising patrol ).

I'd get that in writing just to be safe.... otherwise we'll see a post on these forms in a few weeks saying you got deffected etc etc

For anyone interested about the website with the application form etc the address is:

hey mate cheers for putting that up for ppl,different states will have different laws,the sight you may have looked at might of been for another state
i highly recomend any who gets a sports exhaust to get a second muffler to keep the car quite when you want to,haveing it loud all the time just creates trouble for yourself
oh and heres a link for all you wa blokes who are confused with our state laws on modifications btw this is a 2002 version i cant find an updated version of the laws
