Sorry Mate, I'm with James when it comes to modifying vehicles. Unless you are a qualified and experienced engineer in the field, then don't mess with factory outfit. What the government is trying to do is make it compulsory to have any modifications checked by an engineer to get the o.k. Makes absolute sense, if you ain't no engineer and you can't afford to get your mods checked by an engineer then you shouldn't have the right to drive your 'improved' vehicle on public roads.
P.S: I HATE PIMPED BOY RACER MOBILES AND THEIR PIMPLY DRIVERS.. BRING ON THE EXPANDING FOAM UP THE OVERSIZED EXHAUSTPIPES !!!!
