You cannot ban tuning products for instance, while you might still be in breach of a number of laws for modifying your car without the relevant paperwork, there is no legal device that can disallow sale of anything but the engines themselves.
And even then, it can only disallow the sale of new engines - existing or second hand sales of these products are not covered by the law. |
It is the opening salvo. You really think they are going to control "powered brooms" while letting you buy whatever you want for your car?
I am not going to deep dive into Australian law but would be willing to bet there have been strong emissions control laws for tunes and exhausts for some time there. The fact that they are currently largely ignored doesn't mean it will stay that way.
