These are the new modification rules which are part of the new national guidelines. Basically if its not included in here then it needs engineering.

life is either gonna get boring, illegal or very palsy with engineers for some....

one plus to it is they specify other DOT standards from around the globe as being acceptable for rims. Once upon a time for an individual to ask an authority to accept another worlds standard knowing it exceeded our own , was not even gonna be discussed !!

Single tone air horn must be an error , as horns must have high and low tone in electric so surely air horn too ?

A brief read shows:
*Combined suspension lift of 75mm: 50mm (body) & 25mm (tyre): no certificate needed
*Lift kit must be supplied & made by a corporation
*Tyres up to 50mm larger in diameter: no certificate needed
*fitting of turbos or S/Cs other than OEM must be certified
*Any engine modification that increases power by more than 20% must be certified

Hmmm...

I know not everyone will be in the same boat, but I kinda like it...

It makes all my future plans legal without certif!!

I think one of the biggest improvements is the 50mm tyre diameter increase. This means I can now get a 215/70R16 and not have to worry about it!

All and all, quite happy.

not a fan of the suspension. ive already got 3mm or about there just from the king springs! does that mean we are unable to do a spacer as well as springs? as it it will be over the 50mm?

75mm is for specific classes of light vehicle which does not include passenger cars! Its for 4wds. Need to find out what light vehicle subaru are classed as under adr. I'll post the adr class defenitions later. I think an outback could do real well under these rules with its factory fitted body lift blocks, thinking about getting mine engineered on that basis.
