Not correct, certain mods are legal, certain mod can be legal if the owner takes it upon themself to get the car tested and passed if it meets legal requirements

Sounds like you got a bid of bad luck with your inspector.
The guy that did the VIV on mine (the XR8), reinspected everything - told me the exhaust was 3DB too loud, but he'd let it go, and that it was too low (exhaust scrapes were evident), but I explained that I had raised it from SSL to stock XR height, so the scraping was from previous height. He said it needs to be at least 100mm from the ground, and it didn't quite meet that - I pointed out that it was way above 100mm (in a humourous way - the car was over the pit) - he laughed and said "I'm going to let it go this time". Top bloke, and he even knew it was a pre-Rebel AU2 220 and that there weren't many of them around. Sounds like I was lucky on that day!

well suspension is sorted, went an bought a set of new monroe front shocks and spring compressors, plan is to put my stock springs back onto the stock shocks and then have 2 different sets a rego set and a lowered set. just need to pull them out and do the swapping over. new bump stops $55 each! talk about a rip off! oh and a boot grommet for 5 bucks. so a week ahead of pulling suspension out and fiddling around and it will be defect spec. oh and also decided to just buy a tiny shut down muffler which is only costing me 200 figure saves me going through the whole process of hiring etc in the future

IT PASSED!!!!! well that was a relief as they were going to cancel my rego as of tomorow with no refund. only just scrapped by with the exhaust, couldn't believe it has xforce 4inch dump and cat then a stock standard xr8 exhaust and it was still 93db's but this guy was fairly good and let me pass when i told him they were canceling my rego the next day.
although one interesting thing about this was that through the whole process i haven't had a rego sticker displayed and have got not one question about it, wonder if they are actually leaning towards no stickers because the computers in their cars are so good?
