Default The future for aftermarket performance specialists...

With current spectre of engineering requirements for modified suspension looming in NSW this raises an even bigger question.. what does the future hold for aftermarket performance specialists if "non factory mods" are effectively outlawed, or at the very least controlled and made very expensive due to compliance? Is this engineering requirement the first of many future rules and requirements? whats next? randon roadside electronics inspection where a computer is hooked to your car to check for tunes? Non OEM tyre fitment?
I get the feeling that for legal reasons new vehicles will be required to remain ADR compliant and factory spec for their entire life, or maybe the authorities are trying to stifle car enthusiasts...
Scary times ahead unfortunately, will this put more pressure on the need for "factory" performance where if its factory its legal?
