I need the info re a road worthy inspection I have to have before I can register the car. Really hope someone can help with this. Regards Simon.
Hi Simon welcome to PassionFord. I presume the car has just been imported into Adelaide ? There has just been a thread on here about standard ride height and it seems that from the top of the tyre to the centre of the wheel arch on the front it is 610mm and on the rear 625mm.
I used to live in Adelaide and years back the Police used to have the specification of most cars which they used to make sure it was standard. There have been other people posting on here from Australia who seem to have modified Cosworths which are road registered ok. Do you still have to take it to the Police Garages at Theberton for them to check it or is it done by the Dept of Transport?
Hope this helps. Where do you live in Adelaide, I lived in Salisbury.
