    find some level ground, and use a plumb line should see you right,

    as a guess 7mm worth of spacers is a good guess(starting point) based on pics of your car

    So repair cert has been done, rear guards have been fixed and the car went for a lvv cert today. Didnt pass as there is a couple of things to do:

    Gotta fit a support to the air intake system
    Either raise the front a bit or roll/flare front guards as the tyres rub when you go over a dip
    Cable tie one of the rear brake lines so they're not rubbing on the axle boot
    Fix the exhaust leaks (cars been sitting for awhile so there are little rust holes)
    Drivers window washer pops up so gotta fit it properly
    Rear indicators glow white instead of orange
    Align headlights

    And they also mentioned something about my projector headlights which I'll find the info I need to prove they are fine.

    So not much to do

    Car finally went through the recompliance/re registering bit. And I now have more **** to sort out...

    They found rust in the rear hatch lower seam edge, so to get that fixed results in me getting another repair cert for that repair.

    They want me to sort out the AYC, told the guy its no longer there and he rattled off some bull****. Probs just going to remove the bulb tbh. Though if anyone knows how to completely get rid of it that would be a great help.

    And they want me to sort out my traction control. As it has a hissy when its not turned off because of the manual conversion. Again if anyone knows how to get rid of it/have it permanently off that would be a great help.

    Sigh and I need to have all this done within 21 working days or I have to pay another $475...

    So having a quick squiz through the forums, reflashing the ecu with a manual rom seems to help with the traction control?

    Ughhh Im stressing out...

    I can loan you a manual TB and manual ECU if that helps Reece. Try unplugging the switch for the tcl, it doesn't function nor show a light on mine when the switch is unplugged.

    Cheers for that Justin, but all seems to be okay now. Just removed some certain fuses and bulbs haha.

    So close to the finish but I've finally run out of money haha.
