What does/doesn't need to be certified?

[Guest]

So its time to get everything back to being legal *sigh*

I just want to know if there are any mods that I have done that don't need certification.

Mod since the last warrant are:

Coilovers

Camber bolts F & R

F & R 24mm Adj. Swaybars

F & R Endlinks

Mounting Kit for Rear Swaybar

Steering Rack Bushings

Control Arm Bushings

Anti Lift Kit

Ball Joint and Tie Rod Extenders

Rear Strut Bar with Triangle Brace

330mm Steering Wheel and Boss

17x8's

235/40's

Rolled Guards

Stripped Trunk and Carpets

What have you guys with coilovers done with the brake lines? I don't think the certifier is gonna be happy about zipties holding them in place :-X

And the car originally came with an driver's airbag so I have obviously removed that and gotten rid of the 'airbag' light on the dash with a resistor that came with the boss kit for my new wheel. Is there any way to make this legal through certification or is it fully illegal to swap out a OEM wheel with a airbag for a aftermarket one?

i "think" the airbag removal can be leagl (maybe certed???) if all componants of airbag system are removed from the car.

other than that coilovers is all that needs certing on that list AFAIK

When you go in to get your car certified the certifier wont just look at specific modifications that you have done, he will take the entire day checking over the whole car and make notes of what needs to be certified and printed on the plate.

So it doesnt matter just take it in and theyl check everything

depends what you need to get certified

adjustable suspension required road test at 100kmph

modified engine required decibel reading and emission test

all takes time

depends on the certifier. I have a cert for coilovers and ABS removal... the certifier didn't even look at coilovers, and merely glanced at the master cylinder for a second. no road test, nothing.

Ok cool. Thanks for all the info and the link.

Turns out they aren't as hard on modifications as I thought?

I'll reinstall the clips for the lines and take it in next weekend.
