“The Motor Dealers and Repairers Act 2013 came into effect in December 2014 following extensive consultation with industry and consumers and we are making sure industry participants are aware of the new laws.”

Changes included doubled penalties for odometer tampering - to $22,000. It is now mandatory for motor dealers to disclose to consumers information that might affect a consumer's decision to buy a car or buy a car at a certain price. This includes information about any major modifications to a vehicle, past flood or hail damage, whether a vehicle has previously been written-off and whether there is any suspicion of odometer tampering.

Hey Guys, Just wondering...how much does a genuine Mugen twin loop for a dc2 go for these days? also have an ITR head with genuine 115,000ks on it with itr cams, springs... etc, practically a complete head, i have them sitting in my garage and i just wanted to clear it out for some space. Also have things like the itr airbox with a near new filter, genuine jdm 16" itr wheels, mugen intake, gen 1 Mugen wing. Just curious if anyone could help me with pricing...because i might put them up for sale. Also, have a k24a2 sitting at home, which is most likely going in my car.. but then again, im probably going to start my project some time mid next year... so if anyone could help it would be much apreciated! Thanks

What do we all think of the new update model 911 going turbo?

Sure, the tuning aspect is great, but I feel a big part of the 911's character is watered down. I understand why it has to happen, it's just a sad day. What will they call the 911 Turbo now?

Not a fan to be honest. I can see Porsche purists losing the plot after hearing that, like how the 991 introduced electronic power steering.

I hope they don't start putting turbo's in the next gen GT3's otherwise that would be a huge shame.

emissions emissions emissions! I can think of one advantage of more turbo cars... mechanics and German specialists will be making a lot more money in the long run haha!

what do we all think of the new Civic photos? It looks a bit bloated to me. I feel as though its over-designed, with too many weird grills and fake plastic vents. Honda's new design language isn't exactly scaring Mazda I'm sure. Although real life images of the new NSX are quite amazing....

Wow, this is quite a scandal by Volkswagen.

"Volkswagen, the world's top-selling automaker, lost a stunning 17.1 percent of its value Monday after admitting that it intentionally rigged nearly half a million cars to defeat U.S. smog tests."
