Default Slight mods and passing PITTS

About to get the new rexxy licenced.

Called one place to suss out a couple of things to make sure they will be ok.

Found out I need a permit for the pod filter. So while I look into this permit and realise its only like $22 should I go ahead and add to that:

-moon roof
-aftermarket radiator
-kings superlow springs
-De-winged

Would add the 3" TBE ive got to throw on but thinking its best to wait until after I pass the pitts to do that as I dont want to fail due to noise or emissions. (would be nice to throw the mod cert in a cops face tho )


Also does anyone know is this a once off permit or do they slug you every year for it.

dewinged and radiator means fuck all, springs dont matter unless its lower than 100mm at its lowest point

moon roof? you mean sunroof? did it come with it standard?

As per the website any body mods and engine need to be reported :S

Same as suspension and steering. It actually asks if you lowered it or raised it.

Yep moon roof...sun roof or fully open to moon - guess it was put in after so non standard.

Check it:

De-winging isn't a 'mod' seeing as the RX/RS comes wingless - be sure to have a working high level brake light or you will fail the inspection though.

Radiator doesn't require a permit.

Haha bro, just take it in as is, leave exhaust off until its regoed.

Make sure its clean, not leaking oil.

If you cant find a brake light stick the wing back on for now.

A permit is worth less than the toilet paper we wipe our ass with man. Get it, and keep it on you, but if a cop wants to yellow you, he will.

If you get engineering certs they can help but certainly worth more than 22 bucks!
