    Default pits

    hey guys,

    i bought an ae86 from VIC, i want to know what else they will check apart from VIN and engine numbers? im lead to believe that they will check tyres and a quick visual inspection, is that so or will they want to go over the whole thing? im going to be taking it in with a 4agze, will i struggle with that?

    cheers for the help!!

    if its regency they'll check everything, best making it stock as possible

    edit: if its a 4agze which hasn't been engineered or inspected before prior to engine swap (assuming thats what has been done) it'll be alot harder due to 4agze having more power. Im sure someone will dribble on about it. Also it can be a lengthy process getting it legal with the engine but more importantly expensive.

    If you need tyres with good tread, I have 4 CSX AE71 Stockys here with good tread that you can borrow for it. Thats about it though.

    Only real concern is that they are painted matt black

    Changing the rego over from one state to another is different to going to the pits for a defect. Just make sure your car is shiney clean. Not sure how the engine conversion will go though...

    The guys at the inspection place are not stupid and they know that 4agze are not ment to be in there. you will need to send away for a "aplication to modify" form from regency and they will send you back a list of the things you will need to be done to the car, including a engineres report. you will need to go threw the pits and a ID check. I have just been threw this process with a car that had come over from wa. if you need any more info ask away

    its got coilovers, D2 rear struts and in the last stage of doing the RX-7 brake upgrade. has rims, im going to put a set of stock rims on that will hide the brakes. put the rear seats in and carpet the hatch! and have no idea what to do with the motor, i have heard i will get away with 4agze, 4age. or just try and put the 4AC back in!
