So you still have the oem sterring wheel in the car?

If so you will have no worries getting authority card. I took my oem wheel out and now i need a fia approved seat to get authority card and i also need lvv certification for after market steering wheel, well removal of airbag system.

[funkytown]

im pre airbags so i have none of those concerns afaik

Oh lucky bastard, wish my car was older now or maybe i did a bit more research before ripping the interior out, but there you are, hindsight is a wonderful useless thing.

[funkytown]

yes yes ;D haha i did my research before i started doing that

and fwiw no i run a different steering wheel now

Just gonna be a bit early and say what I'll do this weekend..

Spark Plugs, Oil Change And A WASH!

I did my spark plugs last week, i must say what a pain in the ass it was getting to the passenger side rear one.

Today i clearcoated the recently cleaned up strut brace and coolant reservoir, and started cleaning the radiator fans bracket thing so i could paint it, ran out of time because i had to leave for work.

Just a quick hint for the spark plugs other than taking out the battery and washer bottle and the aorbox from the other side,I undo the engine mounts ( 2 nuts) and then jack up the engine a few inches makes a HUGE difference

Yeah i removed the battery and washer bottle from the left side and the air filter from the right. Was still fiddley

yea its sux doin that one I use the uni joint to do that one makes it easier

Yep had that too. Was spark plug socket, uni joint, 5" extension then rachet

So that's all I should need??, Spark plug socket, uni joint & 5" extension?

[Joker]

about friggin time Paul hahahaha

on your car not cheap, which is basically mine, you have to join a msnz affiliated car club (60)

and get a motorsport licence from msnz (think about 50) and a logbook i think (approx 30)

then you can apply for a authority card which you get from arranging a msnz approved guy to access your car (free) but paperwork for authroity card is (80).

You then have to get a lvv certifier to ok the car which costs 400 dollars minimum.

plus the cost of wheel and boss kit (200)

Its not really worth it for just the wheel as if you get coilovers and other stuff bigger breaks you have to pay 400 dollars each time the car is accessed. You should get everything done at once then you get it all approved at the same time.

Also there has to be no trace of the airbag system any of its components, its not just a case of removing the oem wheel you have to remove everything wireing, etc etc, then you have to sort out the horn which will not be easy as you probably have to get a button installed elswhere on the car as the horn on the new wheel wont work.

not 100% sure but you may need fia approved seat and harness too, if the airbag wheel is removed. this is another 1000 if your lucky but might only be if you have a cage. your pretty muchbetter to leave the oem wheel in there for now then you can mod a lot of stuff and the authority cards covers it adnn you dont need lvv.

looking at around 800 dollars, and its a PAIN IN THE ASS trust me.

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)

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.

Sweet as, i am looking at getting new discs, so i'll try keep them the same size i guess.

[Guest]

registered the pos. charged battery. put battery back in. in a pitch black garage all on my own. surprised i didnt get electrocuted. paid insurance. insurance raised by $300 a year cos wellington is super dooper high risk. garaged in the burbs is "more dangerous" than parked outside my dads house in wanganui, lolol. #winning

[WRXER]

Gawd don't even want to think about the insurance when I eventually get my v9 sti now that I'm living in Aux.
