Hey,

 

i have been looking around for details on what the new p laws

will mean for me when i get them next year, and i am wondering how they

will affect my ke20 i plan to mod, does anyone know the details with

regard to these laws ?

 

i have heard that for the green ps your car must be 100% stock, is this true?

 

also does anyone know what the restrictions are on power to weight? (as i figure

a warm 4k in a ke20 will be sitting fairly close)

 

as far as i know the cops won't/can't dyno your car, is this true?

 

cheers

Happy Reading

thanks heaps, that helps a lot

 

i will have to be very careful when i am modding the engine, to ensure

i am not caught (this will have to be one hell of a sleeper)

I don't know how strict the police will be enforceing the law. I'm sure a mild cam and extractors may be acceptable........but a huge cam, twin carbs etc would be pushing the friendship. Might be worthwhile making a few calls to clarify it though.

I would assume the laws are there to stop larger capacity engines from being modded. A corolla with a cam and carbs is not exactly going to a rocket, where as 6cyl Cortina in the hands of a P plater is another story.

 

Laws are laws at the end of the day. So it shouldnt matter whether its a 6cyl or 4cyl, the rules should apply to all.

i am thinking of running a 4k with a mild cam, a dcoe 40

and engine balancing etc, maybe with the stock snorkel above

the weber to try and cover it up, although i spose if i don't attract attention to myself the cops won't come calling (but if they looked at all they could easily see the weber)

 

so i spose i will try not to draw attention to myself, and also go by the slogan

"its only illegal if you get caught"

who should/could i call to ask, that won't end me up in

trouble (if i go round asking vicroads to many questions they

might start looking out for hot lil rollas)

 

i was thinking i would do the bit of work to the the 4k, then ring up vicroads

one day to announce "my change of engine number"

 

(again this is dodgy, but rules are made to be broken!)

Theres not much you can do to cover up a DCOE unless you fabricate sheilds etc. But then it just screams inspect me closer!

Just call Vicroads or whoever is listed in that link i posted. Just ask general questions, and you should be fine. don't even mention what car you have......it shouldnt matter.

maybe dig up a 3k-B carby set up. Then you could say "no officer it is all factory" like I used to :y: while hoping the police wouldn't notice the 5k, no pollution gear...........

thanks guys,

 

i will ring around soon, to find out what is legal (even if i still don't follow the legal path)

 

the 3k-b setup sound good, but i am now swinging towards a 32/36 downdraft, as could fit the stock snorkel setup and a ramflo on the top (with a bit of modification, and a few holes drilled in the bottom for less restricted flow)

and i can also get a free one off a mate, whilst also would save another $250 by

not having to buy a manifold

Ringing vicroads and asking them questions is useless, trust me. Really annyoing trying to do something right if theres no one to tell you what is and isn't acceptable.
