Well i've for coil overs to get certed.

But the steering wheel just sounds like a pain in the ass, your right.

Bigger brakes need certing too ... that the disc or the caliper? because im replacing my 2 pot fronts to be 4 pots (and if i find some i'll get 2 pot rears)

/quote]

i dont think the calipers do as i doubt vtnz woudl knwo the car came with 2 pot front and not 4 pot, this is fine, i upgraded the size of the discs on the front to 330mm so they defo need cert.

Really?? while doing.my.certain because the brembos ar oem and us factor mount points no certain was red as my guy said.

Sorry hard to understand your post, but if I read it corect. If you increase the size of the disk compared to factory like 330mm you need it certed, but this may also be due to the fact even though I have used my original calipers and not brembos the mounting points didn't work so had to be adapted. If you swap from 2 pot to 4 pot they may bring this up at wof but I doubt it, especially if its oem part.

I think the premise is the part thats changed has to be changed for a part that is equal to the oem part, ie same disk size but with slots is fine to do but increase the diamater of the disc this is not allowed unless it certed.

jesus.. auto correct fail typing on my phone this moring. Have fixed post.

i went from 4 pots ->brembos, 294 -> 330mm disks plus caliper change.

Not a cert issue as the hub mount points and calipers / disks are OEM

Well Might be due to the fact you put brembos on there and can reuse the original mounting points, I stuck to factory 4 pot non brembo and had to have a bracket made as they didn't fit with 330mm disks. Looking at the lvv site though you should get them certed as they are not oem size for your car.

Taken from the lvv site.

LVV is not required if the aftermarket rotors are the same size as the oem rotors,

and catalogued aftremarket items for that make and model of vehicle,

and attached to unmodified oe parts.

Cleared out broken pallets from boot and pie/food wrappers and cans from front. All frm wrk in the last week

[WRXER]

Charged battery, sorted out the fouled plugs and fired the wrx up. Gave it a lil drive around and wiped off an inch of dust on the car. Was good to be back and forgot how close my ra box is when changing gears after driving round a crappy starlet for months haha.

Removed the sound deadning from my boot and under the rear seat. (almost a whole bucket full). Then removed all the useless speaker wire that the person that owned the car before me tried to put in and epicly failed at doing. Also going to reconnect my heater core now that i have cleared the whole thing out.

[MINTGTB]

Put some downpipes and headers on to the car 8) goes way better!! ;D

[petrolheadjman]

Put in a rainbow horn lolol

[Stoffa]

V8 Sti Manifold, smoothed, retextured and repainted. Also had some custom fuel rail mounts made up

[Guest]

fucck thats a nice job done there mate,what did you use to get it down that smooth,?angel grinder?

[Stoffa]

my mate did it when he made up the fuel rail mounts, just cut off wheels and a grinder, then got it paint stripped at the powder coaters, I smoothed it out with a sander. Then gave it to another mate who sandblasted it to get the texture back then painted it with some special paint that he baked on.

Heres a pic of the other side

[DRFVDR]

all i can see is carbon fibre lots and lots of it
