View Full Version : legal hight of walk from factory COPTSA 02-03-05, 17:23 can anyone tell me when a walkie came out of factory was it legal hieght and when the cops measure the hieght of a walkie do they go from front lip or exhaust as mine looks low but dont no the law plz let me asap ILLUSIV 03-03-05, 10:28 All depends on the regulations in your state. In WA the measure it from the middle of your headlight to the ground, and you must have 100mm clearence I believe. Not sure about VIC though. Do a search in the other parts of the forums, and you might find the answer. SirGeo 03-03-05, 10:36 Vic is 100mm (10cm) from the lowest point of the vehicle. Psi_Wagon 04-03-05, 21:41 Vic is 100mm (10cm) from the lowest point of the vehicle. fully laiden. if i remember correctly i think walkies are 110mm high (from the front lip) from factory boosted_wagon 05-03-05, 19:37 the legal limit in vic is 100mm from the lowest point of the vehicle fully loaded which means full tank of fuel and 4 passengers 1 driver Psi_Wagon 06-03-05, 20:37 err thats what i just said ????? digitok 08-03-05, 13:19 What if the passengers are real fat Hingo 08-03-05, 13:22 In WA the measure it from the middle of your headlight to the ground, and you must have 100mm clearence I believe. How does that work? From the headlight to the ground? If the walky is completely stock and came like that from factory you can get away with it as it came like that from factory... ILLUSIV 08-03-05, 14:12 Im not sure, as Ive never had to take a car over, but apparantly one of the measurements is from the headlight to the ground... strange! vlt-dreamer 10-03-05, 21:16 cam his car is a walky mock up - not original. Psi_Wagon 12-03-05, 08:37 cam his car is a walky mock up - not original. and the difference being? the laws are still the same ILLUSIV 12-03-05, 12:09 ADR's... Thats why walkies are allowed holes in the bonnet, and other cars aren't.... Psi_Wagon 12-03-05, 15:54 maybe in W.A :P not in vic :) vlt-dreamer 12-03-05, 21:53 maybe in W.A :P not in vic :) i think you'll find your mistaken cameron. Psi_Wagon 13-03-05, 19:23 haha i think ill find im not, my car passed many roadworthies with the bonnet vent cut out :) and i cant find anything on the vicroads website about it being illegal, can you ?? Proph 14-05-05, 23:08 i've passed roadworthies with bald tyres, tonnes of rust, leaking welch plugs, oil leaks, etc :p walky509 04-09-05, 20:49 on a recent cruz to goulbourn my genuine waky(65000ks) was defected for to low? the cop had a 100mm block on a stick and went around under the car, front bar was to low by not 5mm?, how can a original car be defected? was the walkie deliverd with the lower lips? last thing, DONT CRUZ GOULBOURN, COPS HATE NICE CARS THERE poohkies 06-09-05, 15:22 they can't and yes they left the show room floor with them, i would recon it's either that the bar saggin or your springs etc! 5mm he's got 2 be kidden, that could have been the camber on the road! ILLUSIV 06-09-05, 22:40 The unfortunate thing is that cops don't have to be right... they only have to think that something is wrong, and then they can defect ya car... thats what the pits are for.... In WA they have stickered brand new cars that dont have any fluid in the washer bottle!! walky001 23-09-05, 20:02 I recently contacted HSV about my walkinshaw, and I was informed that it left the factory with the lower extensions delivered in bubble wrap. Apparently they did this to the walkys for shipping (it makes sense as the cars would have been damaged on the trucks) They left it up to the dealers to put the lower pieces on. They also told me the blanks in the side skirts were also delivered but not painted. |
