I think this may have come up before, but if you haven't seen it, it could be a useful resource for those of us that are modifying our cars:

Vehicle Safety Standards: National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (NCOP)

I'm sure Andrew may be able to augment this post with some of his own pellets of wisdom...

MickyD · May 28th, 2006, 12:35 PM

There's new EPA guidelines that have come into effect in Victoria as well, and they are VERY strict.

n00b · May 28th, 2006, 12:46 PM

One question, are they in use now?

That looks like it's still a working document....

I think it could provide some good guidelines, though...

That's what I thought, I knew they were working on it from a few years ago...except a few states disagree with each other

and if I remember correctly, these are just national codes and the local authorities will adopt it to suit their taste.

Are you thinking of lowering the roof line n00b?...speedster style

n00b · May 29th, 2006, 01:44 AM

Sure enzo, sure

do that to the RRS and some 22" chromies, that looked wayyy better than doing it to teh MCS.

MiniFr34k · May 29th, 2006, 01:51 AM

enzothemaddog · May 29th, 2006, 01:57 AM

In the unlikely event that I actually contributed something that some of you valued I'm not sure I'd like it called a "pellet"

Half asleep and not reading it right most likely, but did I read that you're not allowed to change cams?

Ah yes...but Andrew, of all people, would know, such a term is a standard part of my vernacular...
