In NSW's there drafting new laws that basically will inhibbit people modifying the beloveds, even to the point of mag wheels. And Older Cars may not be able to be re-regestered as they would not meet the Current years ADR laws, not the ADR laws at the time of manufacture, I thaught it was a joke until I was given a contact of a person involed in the current meetings with the RTA in NSW, He informed that it was very real, but also been kept quite buy the government, At first it was to try and clean up some of the mess involved with some modified cars, IE; Hot Rods and etc as I have seen a hot rod regesterd as a hilux, what the!!
I have tried to find links to online information on this, searched the hell out of the RTA website, and all I found was some talk on another forum, including some of the minutes from one of the meetings, Its a real threat not only to us as a hobby, but to everyone, as its making it easier for car manufacturers to tie up the spare parts industry. If this goes through, the will be alot of people out of work, and alot of people with out cars. We have heard about the importing modified car laws that are starting to kick around, Keep an EYE open on this topic people, everywere you go, see what you can find out, what parties are trying to push these laws, and how we as one can fight for our right to modify our vechiles, eventually, you wont be able to change its colour.

I don't like being told what to do, and when some aluminium cased box of gears and friction plates tells me that it's time to change up, I really get pissed off. I will decide when it's time to change gears and sometimes I'm right. So the old smarty-pants automatic transmission isn't my best friend

There would be a considerable backlash from the hundreds of thousands of people employed by the auto industry.

I don't see how they could pass it still. Seems pretty radical and pointless.

the cost to do such a thing ( government would have to subsidise people to update their cars ) would be enormous
