Just on the no rubber on the pedals thing, When i picked my jimny up from the dealer, there was no rubber on the accelerator pedal 8O

RWC only needs rubber on brake and clutch pedals, not accellerator.
I spose the theory is that your foot slipping off the brake or clutch could cause an accident but slipping off the accel pedal won't... :roll: :?

I spoke to the Suzuki store and they said that the Sierra s never came with one on the accelerator but the guys at the pits didn't care what I had to say so I got one off a swift very similar shape and thy were happy with it

Its most likely that neither of your sports car mods are legal. Just because it got through ok and they didn't pick up on it for some reason doesn't mean its a full legal ride.

in WA its no more than 50mm lift INCLUDING tyre lift.

From the NCOP that WA follow: www.infrastructure.gov...eb2006.pdf from: www.infrastructure.gov..._ncop.aspx (page 20/71, section 4.10)
Modifications that result in raising the vehicle body greater than 50mm are to be carried out and approved in accordance with Codes LS7 and Code LS8.

LS7 - page 61 - point 1: Design of modifications that result in the vehicle body being raised by more than 50mm from the original "as manufactured" height.

Page 63: Wheels & Tyres - The overall tyre diameter can be increased by up to 26mm (four wheel drive vehicles only). Tyres fitted to commercial vehicles must not be more than 50% wider that the vehicle manufacturer's widest optional tyre.

The wheel track of off-road and four wheel drive vehicles must not be increased by more than 25mm...

LS8 - page 68 - point 1: Design of modifications that result in the vehicle body being raised by more than 50mm from the original "as manufactured" height. which includes points 6. installation of body lift and 7. alternative wheel and tyre specifications with modified axles or suspension.

So in essence.. a 215/75r15 is in fact ILLEGAL to run on a vehicle that has a stock 205/70r15 as its 35.5mm larger - exceeding the maximum allowed increase by 9.5mm, and running a larger tyre in combination with a lift of 50mm or more is also illegal.

Cool huh? =)
