Just wondering if any one knows where to find legit info about car modifactions, engine mods etc...

vic roads is very basic, and we all know there are stories going around
between mates

with hotted up cars who say
"yea you can have a pod filter as long as its non oil based, or you can have a BOV as long as its a plumb back", etc etc...

i'm just wanting to know if theres anywhere we can acess this info like from a legit site not just someone who didn't get dick'd there and then coz he talked the cop out of it.

cheers,

u cant have a aftermarket BOV even if it is plumb back.. as they have not passed some ADR bullshit... but if u get the engineer, to engineer it. it should be ok... dunno about pod filter...

and it's always better to speak to an engineer before you do something :)

vic roads do have pretty detailed info on modifications, go in and they will give you heaps of pages on it. Its more the basic mods like induction, wheels, suspension etc, anything that really requires an engineers or mod plate best to speak to an engineer, tho it differs between them as to whats allowed and not
