Hi people. How come I am told that I have to change my original XP steering column to collapsible yet I am spotting V8 XP's everywhere around here (in QLD) still with the orig column. I understand if the engine is a 289 or under then you dont have to change the column. Yet you need to make alot more changes to your car if it exceeds that engine size.
Seatbelts, the wheel pattern changed to be 5stud and discs (only on front) front needs upgrades such as stronger springs. I have even been told I need to change the colour of my front indicator lights to red.. I have a 302 Windsor and live in QLD. Does it just come down to certain engineers being more (shall I say) casual about the regulations? Or is everyone simply lying about there engine sizes. Easily done I guess as they made Windsor engines for over 20 years and 289 and 302 being so physically similar. Any contacts or info would be great. My question. How are people getting around not changing the steering column? Thanks heaps. |
