Fitting of or modification to:

Aftermarket wheel fitments

LVV certification is not required provided that:

THE WHEELS

- are a known and reputable brand non-OE item, and

- would be considered an appropriate fitment for the vehicle type by the wheel manufacturer and

- are not modified,and

- spacers or adaptors are not fitted, and

- do not cause the vehicle’s track to be increased by more than 25 mm, and

- do not foul any other vehicle components.

THE TYRES:

- have an outer rolling circumference that is not more than 5% greater than OE, and

- are an appropriate selection for rim width, and

- do not rub on suspension components, body structure or outer panels during normal vehicle operation, and

- tyre tread does not extend beyond the original body panels and

- tyres do not foul on any other vehicle components.

If the valves and valve seats have been hardened then dont bother with the 1$ everytime you fill, its not like a head is $$$ to replace anyways!

In my cort i pretty much always use 96, goes alot alot better than watered down 91 shiz

and also, never by petrol thats on special its generaly old, has a low octane , hence the need for them to drop the price to sell it quick

Easyest way to increase horsepower (sorta) is to loose weight, so get rid of anything you dont need (ie rubbish!)

One thing that a few people over look that can often ad alittle power is the earth wires, make sure they are all in good cond, as well as all other leads etc.

check your fuel filter (if you dont have one get one) make sure your petrol tank isnt full of crap, and use 96 octane gas.

dont for get the brakes either:) check the pads shoes whatever too

si

Try the rotor forums etc some of the rx's have the same stud pattern and they seem to love their modgies,

if you get new wheels would you sell me the ones on there at the moment?

no brakes. getting pitstop to fix it this weekend

didnt know pitstop installed parachutes

hurry up and take it down the strip!

This is what the WOF book says :

LVV certification is not required provided that:

Springs and shock absorbers

-the springs or shock absorbers are direct replacements, and

-replacement springs fit and maintain contact with un-modified OE seats throughout

full suspension travel, and

-replacement springs are self-retaining in their seats at full extension, without the use

of non-standard devices such as wire-ties, straps, or external spring locators, and

-replacement springs have not been heated or cut, and

-springs and spring seats are not height adjustable (unless OE), and

-replacement shock absorbers fit un-modified OE mountings, and

-suspension maintains sufficient travel for safe operation when fully

laden, and

-suspension components maintain sufficient clearance from unmodified bumpstops

when fully laden, and

-a minimum of 100 mm ground clearance exists below any part of the vehicle

structure, or any steering, braking, or suspension component1, and

-the normal relationship between front and rear suspension height is not unduly

affected.

Lowering blocks

(for leaf springs,

to adjust their ride height)

the blocks are:

- securely fitted, and

- constructed from metal, and

- designed for the purpose, and

- firmly seated over not less than the OE seat area, and

- not more than 50 mm in height.

Go grab a copy of a NZ petrolhead mag or some other oldman v8 racer mag n have a read up they normaly have ads etc in em,

si

It would help if you told us what type of car you have.

this is also floating around too

alfa sprint represent!

Fuck thats mental

ill post more as i find them

Im not to sure on that one, best bet is to ring up the LTSA

LVV certification is not required provided that:

Substitution of engines when compared with the OE engine, the replacement engine:

- is of the same or less cubic capacity, and

- has equal or less weight, and

- has the same or less power output, and

- uses the same fuel (petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG), and

- uses the same unmodified attachment points and system (ie, bolts-in), and

- uses the same ancillary equipment (accelerator linkages etc), and

- uses the same family of block and cylinder head from the same vehicle

manufacturer, and

- is of the same configuration.

the modifications result in not more than 20% more power than the OE engine,which may include the fitting of:- extractor or free-flow exhaust manifolds, or big bore exhaust systems

- changed intake manifolds

- changed or multiple carburettors

- modified fuel injection systems

- changed ignition systems

- alternative cold air box induction systems.

you know you want to throw in a RB26DETT

powa!

FYI that link was more in reference to these sorts of cars, rather than the newer ones on that page

I pretty much would have agreed with kyteler until I think of young people, and that their definition of what is old school to them isn't the same as it is to me. I'm happy to take a slidding approach to definitions as society changes.

your in your 30s

im in my teens

you think a crx is oldskool and i think a cortina is old skool

sounds round the wrong way dosnt it

The CRX having what? a fancy EFI engine?

sounds a bit high tech to be old school!

They certainly aren't new or middle school - a few years older that your average graduate with torsion bar suspension and in the days where you had to specially order air-con, 5-speed etc...

Still a few years younger than the average graduate with leaf springs, air con didnt exist, 5 speed didnt exist for quite a few cars back then too.

If your on dial up this page will take A LONG WHILE to load!

old skool phatness!

(apart from the mental vans )

CRX's just aint old skool

the only cortinas with leafs were the mark1 and 2's, so i dont know how hard it would be to get a pair

Theres a white van in the naki (possbily a ford transit or a mitsi) with a speed camera in the back :/

'Stealth' patrols target drivers

24 April 2004

By HAYDON DEWES

A new fleet of unmarked police cars is moving stealthily around New Zealand catching dangerous drivers.

Fourteen unmarked cars not usually used by police, including new Nissan Maximas and Mitsubishi Diamantes, were patrolling all 11 police districts to crack down on dangerous driving antics such as overtaking on yellow lines and cutting corners. Police were keeping offenders guessing by constantly switching cars from district to district, police national road safety manager Superintendent Steve Fitzgerald said.

It is part of a programme that has been trialled since before Christmas and will be officially launched in July.

In the past fortnight, The Dominion Post has also spotted several older-model unmarked police cars stopping traffic in Wellington, including a green ute, a red sedan and a souped-up Honda singling out weekend boy racers on Cambridge Tce.

This is not an official part of the stealth programme.

Like the "anywhere, any time" campaign started at Easter, in which signs warning of speed camera areas were removed and police were given the ability to set up cameras on any stretch of road, police are aiming to catch "high-end" offenders who actively avoid detection.

"That's exactly the point, to make people think that every single vehicle they see could be a police car and to try and get better behaviour from people on the road," Mr Fitzgerald said.

The stealth patrols could observe motorists for any length of time, but Mr Fitzgerald said it would be "most unusual" if an officer followed an offending vehicle a long way before issuing a ticket.

"We anticipate we would intercept and do something sooner rather than later."

The type and frequency of offences are being recorded by police and analysed by the accident research centre at Melbourne's Monash University to determine the most effective use of the patrols.

When the programme is fully implemented in July, two more vehicles will be added to the fleet. Every district will be allocated one car with the remaining five spread around New Zealand.

Wellington road policing manager Inspector Allan Boreham said city police had already found the cars better for catching repeat offenders. "They are able to go in with the traffic and if they see someone that may be going a bit quick, they'll spend a bit more time following them to see how else they drive."

In recent years, police had taken a high-visibility approach to road policing, but Mr Boreham said overseas evidence showed that unmarked patrols were necessary to stop dangerous driving.

As well as the new stealth patrols, other staff in mufti cars were becoming more proactive in targeting traffic offences, Mr Boreham said. This made the public think there were more traffic patrols.

He believed that attitude was one reason why there had been a drop in the number of crashes in Wellington. Provisional data showed there were about 200 fewer traffic accidents in the first seven months of this financial year compared with last year.

National Party police spokesman Tony Ryall believed the move would not be received well by the public, whose goodwill toward police was already strained. "If the public starts to conclude that the police are going to any lengths to catch a motorist but can't turn up to your burglary till a day later, then they start to lose confidence."
