I dunno if all you guys in datto land have seen pics of my wifes ute yet. If you have you may have noticed that its set up for 10in wide slicks. However, we seem to have hit a snag with these plans.

Every engineer I have spoken to has knocked the idea on the head. Seems any movement of the rails takes it from mod to ICV. An ICV has to meet the ADR's of the current year, meaning it will cost up to five times as much just to get papers, let alone the safety and pollution mods that would be required.

My issue with this is that I have seen plenty of cars with wilder chassis mods then ours that are road registered. Check out those bloody Lo-Luxes and there notched rears for christ sakes, as well as any mini-tubbed V8 or rotary.

My Q's are how the hell do they get around the ICV laws, and if you were in our position what would you do?
