Hi all.
Wandering where the line is drawn for modding on your P's according to the government.. (in Vic) i think it is nothing 'performance enhancing' can be added to your car.. but that does not mean exhaust.. so I am assuming extractors are legal on your P's? what are some options for incrasing power on a 6 cyl that are legal? I dont want to build a street machine lol but at least give it a bit of grunt.. Thanks

if you don't drive like a d**k, have it sitting obviously too low or with outrageous rim sizing, have the stereo cranked to the s**t or have a straight through exhaust or a front mount hanging out then unless you get an absolute c*nt of a police officer i think you will be right
oh yeah...or have numberplates with your age on them if you keep your car subtle you will get away with more.

so i assume you are still on your P's... does your full exhaust sytem include a catback or extractors? also whats the deal with increasing air intake.. pod filters and that sort of stuff...

Also when i got my P's none of that stuff applied, im on the 150kw per tonne restriction

yeah full system + cam. I have been lucky thusfar in that I haven't been pulled up for it, although I admit its most likely because since regaining my license (and falling under new laws) my driving habits have improved dramatically.
In keeping with what I said above, some officers do have it in for P platers...i should know, i have been fined $150 for not having my actual license on me after losing my wallet (apparently it didnt matter that he could ring up my bank and see if my cards had been cancelled that day) and also $120 for having my stereo too loud
