i dunno but from what ive seen from the noob forums tiksie has a lot of haters or is a hater LOL
Nah; I'm not a hater.
It's just that these discussions have taken place MANY times in the past 5 years that I've been on OzHonda and no one knows how to use the search function.
And pretty much all modifications are considered illegal if the car did not come with those parts, however if those parts were an optional accessory for that vehicle but was not purchased with the vehicle but was installed later, then it will be considered legal.
The term vehicle applies to cars with same chassis. I am still 100% correct in that any mod can be made legal with engineers approval. Tiksie you are bringing no useful info to this argument other than 'this happened to my mate so must be true'. You can legally run any ADR seat/rail combo with engineers. If the car has the same chassis code then no engineers is needed. By chassis code I don't mean eg, dc or whatever, there's some other code only used on a design/manufacturing level that links cars together I don't know what's it's called. Manufactures use it to more easily introduce new models to the market.
What can't you comprehend ?
You can get ****ed for anything that isn't standard on your car! I've been in the game long enough to know this. It seems that you either haven't, or Melbourne's police are totally different to that of Sydney's.
Stop flogging a dead horse and try to get this through your head.
If a cop pulls you over for having a non-standard part on your car and you start explaining all of this shit to them, they will laugh at you and give you a red sticker for anything else they can. What do you learn from that ? Nothing!
The only piece of advice that I can give regarding modifying a car is; UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN AND WILL GET DEFECTED FOR IT REGARDLESS! The modifying game is risky and this should be acknowledged before someone starts up their EG hatchback with fully hektic wide OG sans wheels and loud exhaust and pod filtered D16Y1.
If your not a hater why leave negative pq point on my profile when it seems you have been proven wrong, not to mention trying to make me look like and idiot on the previous page
" Police can fine you for anything they like. But as long as your rails are adr complianced and the seats are also adr complianced, no modifications had to be made to them at all then they are legal. Basically the only good brand that is adr is recaro
"
This doesn't hold well against a cop.
"No. If they come from a car with same chassis ie ss seats in standard commo it's legal. As long as no modification has to be made to fit them. Like super jdm said they will dick you for anything they want to even if it is legal. Only way around this is an engineers certificate which proves legality of your mod (although you shouldn't need one for recaros). I know definitely dc2 recaros in eg is fine. In an ek maybe not as the basic chassis is different. "
Neither does this.
I'm helping OP not to make a fool of himself and argue with a cop that his seats are ADR approved and that they are legal and he shouldn't be defected. Because then we will have threads popping up on how to win against a cop in court for arguing over a fake seat.
Nor did I try to make you look like an idiot. You must be a very sensitive person.
Just because a cop defects you for it doesn't make it illegal! Sure it's a hassle to either fight it in court or go get a roadworthy again but if you get canaried for recaros in an eg, you can take it to a mechanic and get the defect cleared without even removing them. Your scenario is that the cop is a dickhead and is enforcing the law wrong. If he's acting like this in the first place you were either, being a dickhead towards him, made your car cop bait from the outside, or driving like a dickhead.
Also I never mentioned fake seats. And it's probably not worth fighting any of this stuff in court. BUT
If your not a dickhead you can drive with recaros your whole life and never get canaried for it. Let's face it, the canary will be because you've ****ed up not because you have recaros.

I've never had a fine my whole life, though I was pumped (defected) whilst pouring petrol in to my car..
Anyway; I can't be bothered with this thread anymore.
OP; To answer your question, YES you can get fined for it.
