For a certed vehicle, the 100mm rule does not apply.

What rule does apply? when is it to low?

When the certifier thinks it's too low...

You could have a car only 50mm from ground and still be certified as being safe and legal...

The 100mm rule is there as a catch all for cars that haven't been certed.

shouldnt matter for gearboxes... i know increasing the engine size/ converting to turbo requires it..

best bet is to ring a local certifier.. actually its best to go and see the certifier before you begin modifications. that way youll know what his rules are and what the law allows and he be able to give you better idea on what to do. this mite end up saving you thousands of dollars as well.

Converting turbo doesnt require one unless it upgrades the power in the car by a certain percentage.... i think? i may be wrong?

IM pretty sure you need a cert to turbo a car no mater what?

How can you prove that you car is under the 15% power bracket (i think its 15%)?

then again when you forge & bigger turbo and do get more than 15% power then there no way the cops can prove against it

I Sort of enquired about this with LTSA.

They did say about you can have up to 15 or so % ( maybe it was 25% at the time?) increase before needing cert.

Before I goy my 2nd XT6 I had plan to fit a XT6 motor into a Turbo EA82 Vortex ( 134BHP ) and fit the ER27 ( 150BHP ) 6 cylinder in.

With in the LTSA rules I was Just and only Just to be able to do it.

I Didnt Go down that track since I managed to pic up another one.

last time i checked you only needed to cert if you increased power by 20% or more but that was bout 3yrs ago.
