Spanners you fucking cunt. Can't wait to see the outcome

Nothing yet. Not sure what it would say but probably something in the Notes field.

Godamn you are a glutton for punishment. Keep up the great work.

Nah, not the first, TJ is a lil bit but he is a GC and can see the humour in it.

Plate attached. Proud moment right there..

In all fairness, I feel lucky that @Leon did not engrave "FUK THA POLEESE" in the notes field.

Just a fluke mine was that number in the queue.

Nailed it.

We carry a fair few of them on file, but not all of them. (it relied on the person filling out the declaration to send it into the MoT back in the day) Does it still have live rego? If it does then send me the rego number tomorrow and I'll look to see if we have a copy on file.

A man can only be as good as his tools. I had my shitty old Makita.

Fitted adaptors to the wheels last night to pump out the wheels a little as the spacers didn't cut the mustard. (custom made jobbies by Znoelli in Auckland - who did a great job on them) Took a nice sunset picture parked outside work last night which was unintentionally framed but caught my eye when going through the pics just now. Getting cert inspection today (fingers crossed)

Is you vehicle already certified?

^nope haha

This is the infosheet for design approval, effectively you are wanting custom IFS, so will need to be assessed via the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) https://lvvta.org.nz/documents/infosheets/LVVTA_Info_01-2016_LVV_Custom_Independent_Front_and_Rear_Suspension_Approval_Application_Guide.pdf Background:The NZ Hobby Car Technical Manual (HCTM) requires that any custom independent front or rear suspension (IFS/IRS) assembly obtains approval from the LVVTA’s Technical Advisory Committee. This includes any situation where an original equipment (OE) IFS has been transplanted into a different vehicle and where its OE suspension arm pivot-point locations have changed to non-OE locations, or where the relocation of any geometry-critical pivot points has taken place, thereby altering the suspension systems pre-set geometry.

All certs are full certs, except a wheel and tyres update and partial/full return to standard. The amount of time difference between doing a "minor paperwork update" and a full recert is not that much so you might save a little, but not a whole bunch. Keeping in mind the certifier has to check that all previously certified mods are still compliant and that there are no other obvious mods that have taken place since the last cert. FYI - plating fee is approx $200 which is what pays for the LVVTA system, the rest of the cost is the certifiers time and their costs. (a plate reprint for a partial return to standard or a wheels and tyres change is about half that)

Links shouldn't be dead? I'll check now. edit - nope it's there https://lvvta.org.nz/documents/infosheets/LVVTA_Info_01-2009_V3_Tyre_Size_to_Wheel_Size_Compatibility_Guide.pdf Will hopefully be updating that again sometime soon. (I have the wheels and tyres standard on my desk for updating)

If that was modified to that extent at the time of the declaration then it would be covered by the declaration.

Very little, but in service replacements only. ie: anything that could be expected to wear out. One other thing you need to remember about a declaration, it is NOT a statement of safety, all it is, is a document that confirms that a vehicle was modified at the time the declaration was issued. It says NOTHING about how safe it is or isn't.

Yes, but see your certifier to get an NDT form to make sure they are NDTed to the correct standard by an appropriately qualified person. Also known as an "F008 - LVVVTA Non-destructive Test Request Form"

She makes a mean carrot cake...

Awesome man, who's doing the cert? Julian?

In the next Moonlight Racing container. It's due in a month or so.

"'notha jug Bill" or something like that.

Had to take it off for the tints gee.
