Mag wheel shops will go broke, then Repco,Autobarn and Supercheap will go down.  A bit extreme i know, but thats the way we are heading. They will have to open up Lakeside to handle the influx of cars wanting to be driven as well. Can i still use a non genuine oil filter when i service my car ??? FOR SALE - Datsun 120y RB20 motor. Unable to be registered because of front panel cut for intercooler pipes. Does low 11 quarter mile $500.00 f**king wankers sold...  |

I believe that if your drift car is registered.. even if you get it towed in you can still be defected because the vehicle still falls under the laws. So you would be getting your 'unregistered' drift car towed there to not be affected by the laws

So are we supposed to just simply give up our passion? and no longer continue in the sport? That is a very hard thing to ask, to be forced out of something like that. |

There are plenty of girls on this site with modded cars as well  And stop being so melodramatic! They aren't stopping you from giving up your passion .. If your that passionate about it then you will abide by the rules and make sure that your car is legal .. even if that does restrict some of the mods your able to do .. It is unfortunate but they're not going to change the laws because we're all having emo fits.. They're not trying to 'force it out' as you say, they're just trying to make it safer I guess? |

Agreed, but... It has nothing to do with safety It doesn't comply with their regulations. That is why they are enforcing it.

all i can see is the courts realising after a short time how much more congestion there is in the court system and it wont take 12 months to get rid of these new laws. |

CAN SEE SURFERS and SUNSHINE COAST being a ghost town and turned into a padestrian city/suburb as most these new laws will affect 90% of cars on the road. |
