Read this over at the Starlet forum & thought it might be worth posting over here;

"hey guys i was reading this on the astinagt site and thought it concerns us as well so here it is:

FYI NSW members, as quoted on another forum "astinagt.com"

"The NSW RTA is proposing changes to the current registration system for modified vehicles. These changes will mean that the majority of modified vehicles will be classified as individually constructed and will have to comply with the ADR's current on the day that it goes for registration. Please follow the link below and sign the petition to assist us in taking the fight to the NSW Transport Minister."

http://www.gopetition.com/online/37707.html


The main reason for this petition is that the RTA has had meeting with
Delegates from the Australian Street Rod Federation and have told them (even
showed them a draft copy) of a new system. However they will not release
this information, Hence the need for consultation. I will send out more
information as I get it.

This is from the NSW ASRF June 2010 Minutes.

"What was discussed were the changes in NSW to MPV (Modified Production Vehicles) and ICV (Idividually Constructed Vehicles). The RTA are intending that soon all Modified Production Vehicles will have a FINAL inspection by the RTA;the Engineer will have to provide evidence to their approvals and the base for a Street Rod will no longer be apair of chassis rails and one cross member. The RTA believes that we are so close to being able to achieve ICV, with concessions on some of the ADR'S (Australian Desigin Rules) that this is the track we should consider. "

items in ( ) have been added to explain the abreviations

if this happens it will cause problems for the entire modified car comunity NOT just Street rods"

I don't get it, so when we go to renew rego, we need an RTA inspection? Or is this for cars that are "engineered"?

How would they know if our car is modified or not at the time of getting rego?
