anybody happen to know the legalities of having an auto box manualised?? also having screamer pipes i heard they are legal if they are muffled? just trying to sort out what i can and cant do building my new project cheers chris

Screamer pipes are a BIG no-no as they vent to the atmosphere, but as for manualised-auto's, I can't see why they wouldn't be illegal.

I thought the rule with manualised autos was that the trans still has to be able to shift on its own.

My auto passed the pits (manualised 3 speed with Pro Ratchet shifter) and the inspector said that as long as anybody can drive it, it should be fine... Bit of a grey area....

Hmmm... How would i go with a reverse manualised box??

I dont think the inspectors know the legalities half the time hey.

lag wagon, which pits did you go to?

So no official word on full manual kits then? Looks like i'll just go ahead with it anyway. Not really many other options for high powered auto vl's

i got a yellow on the weekend and got a manualised auto so it will be interesting to see how things go

By having everyone being able to drive it I would have thought in case of an emergency maybe?

yea i got a yellow for tint apparently it was 2.8%, and also "tyres are too wide" even though i have a permit for them??? wtf! Yea will take the car over on friday see how i go

ha thatll teach u to have dark windows! and how wide r ur tyres? are they 8"s?
