RUNAMUCK Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If you ever were going to try and be a criminal and replate a derego car like a skidder, you need to remove the windscreen and swap the whole panel over. And swap the rear screen for the Vin number too. This is plenty more work/skillz than your average RFB has the brain power for. Otherwise you could expect to one day get rolled for car conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a small rusty split in the bog which broke when I pressed on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Wind the lock stops out to reduce lock Fit legal spacers Fit different rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 legal spacers good idea the lock is allready like a bus on a landy but only for wof day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 all spacers need cert 'legally' speaking (as is my understanding / was correct at time last I checked no if's or buts, yep you might pas a Wof (if they are not spotted) with them but voids all sorts of things if something happens & they are still fitted etc 1 hour ago, Firetruck said: Fit legal spacers Spacers are a WOF fail item, no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest as previously mentioned, adjust steering stops or different wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Out of curiosity, say my car which was last registered in 2013, and has been old hold until today, had its exemption expire and I didn’t renew it. What happens tomorrow, does it instantly get deregistered? If not, when does it lapse? Usually it’s 12 months from rego expiry, but it’s way passed that. Surely not 12 months from exemption expiry? i have renewed the hold, but curious to know how close to death I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It will become deregistered 12mths after the exemption expired 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 And then they send you a bill for the 12 months reg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Depends on age of car too IIRC. Cars on the cheap old rego have two years* *check that yourself, I offer no guarantees 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Ah ok, kinda makes sense i guess. Was hoping there was some leeway instead of just lapsing instantly. Thanks lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I should probably check all my cars come to think of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorollaGT Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Whats the general rules around securing ABS wiring to struts? Fitted a set of Fortune Auto coilovers and the rear struts don't have the tabs to click the loom on. I ended up using a couple of cable ties to secure it for now. Would this be ok? Or will I need to make a proper bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
