all the years i've owned and driven combinations of hot/modified/dunger cars, my internal police/impending defect beacon has never gone off saying...

"bing, bing, bing - i hope that cop doesn't pull me over and defect me for all of the welding that's been done here, then smoothed, filed, filled and covered in a really nice paint job"!

i'll take my chances with plod on my lack of seams



Love it :)

I've no experience with modifications in SA, but wouldn't it only take one to notice it (and plenty of cops have had minis) for the car to banned from the roads? If so, that's a big risk on a car that's currently legal.

I will be doing some deseaming on my grunt, and the way that I look at it, it has to be engineered for a reason.
I know my deseaming will have all care taken and I'll see to it that it meets all requirements so I'll have no fear in getting it engineered when the time comes.

i think the only car i've ever owned that is fully legal is the missus's magna... even though cops can defect anything if they try...

any car i have would have something readily defectable... if they pick on me then i'll go over the pits and see what they pick...

if they defect it for major structural stuff like seams being removed... then's there's three options for me, a re-shell into another body, a race only, or get the thing engineered, and as long as i'm engineering something might as well chuck some sort of japanese fire breathing engine in it! all good options,

i'll wait til, if, it happens :)
