just got my mr2 from QLD

hey guys just got a mr2 from brisbane and drove it back.. from reading other posts seems that i might have alot of trouble getting through regency...

its got a cusco lsd, apexi exhaust, tien coilovers and 5x114 spacer things, and a few other small mods... but the engine is pretty much stock.

i called up regency and they said its only and ID check.. but judging from you other guys experiences i dont stand a chance of getting through... esp with a clunky lsd haha

so what can i do? am i going to have to swap everying to pass?? didnt realise its going to be such a beach!!!

    Is it in your name yet?
    otherwise... go to Lonsdale. apparently thats the better way to do it.

    I just discovered that i dont need an inspection because the car is already in my name with interstate rego.

    I think you should be OK.
    Provided it is not too loud and looks in a roadworthy condition.

    Make sure the car is clean paying particular attention to the engine.

    They need to check the engine number and as I assume it is an SW20 this can only be done from the top of the engine bay.
    This means they will not put it on a hoist and look underneath.


    Cheers

    ahhk, i live in north eastern suburbs so going to lonsdale would be abit sus wouldn't it? and wouldn't they be just as anal when checking cars?

    iuno maybe im being abit paranoid because ive heard of horror stories from regency like have to go back 4,5 times...
    yeah its a sw20.. paints abit rooted but it looks pretty stocky and the coilovers are set pretty high, its not that loud my old na celica was louder.. so yeah dont think thats an issue

    hopfully theres no issues so i can come to an SA meet soon :D:D:D:D
