Can't guarantee it will be safely protected from short circuits (it's a Starlet so the circuits are not very long) but too easy on the rest. Assume sealed battery does not require external venting.

Chairs!

I did a bit of research on that type of battery, they dont vent under normal circumstances but have a venting system for if they get over pressurised- like if they get overcharged. 

Checked with LVVTA and that means they have to be vented outside the car, either by a vent tube if the battery has the provision for it, or put inside a sealed box which vents outside the car. 

 

Protected against short circuits I've always interpreted as having the positive terminal covered so a stray wheel brace in the boot or similar cant short the 2 terminals, and the cable routed away from sharp edges etc

I'll tack it, then get S.W.I.M to lay some fat beads at high current. 

the whole whole time I raped my 1200 on the street/strip/skids it ran a home shortened, unbalanced driveshaft with no hoop. One time at the drags a kp60 with a Ca18det with nitrous lunched a front UJ. Even with the hoop it made an almighty mess. I remember looking under it after it was winched onto the trailer and thinking, shit, I really should put one of them on my car. (But never did)

Hi,

On a 2 door car with back seats, is it necessary to have the mechanism to quick fold the front seatback, both on passenger and driver side?

I had a look at VIRM but it doesn't seem to mention anything like that.

Cheers

What is allowable in terms of wheel repairs, more thinking for cert than wolf. 2 of my SSRs had cracks on inner barrels so have now had them welded up by TTT. Currently not ground back or anything so you can see all the welding but are wheel repairs on cert or wolf mans radar?

LVVTA Wheels and Tyre Standard says...
Aluminum wheels must not be repaired unless the repair is carried out in accordance with the requirements specified for wheel repair within the Land Transport Rule: Wheels and Tyres 2001 (Rule 32013), in which case it is not a modification.

Land Transport Wheels and Tyre Rule says...
3.2(5)     A repair to an alloy wheel must:
    (a) be compatible with the material specification of the item to be repaired; and
    (b) restore the damaged or worn wheel so that it is within safe tolerance of its original state when manufactured, as able to be demonstrated by a physical test

In my experience once they have been welded, they often crack again at the same place or at the edge of the weld

I had 3x 19"rims welded by a wheel repair specialist,  they were all fucked again within a year. That was on cheap wheels on a car that did a lot of km though so yours might last better
