I remember back in in the mid 2000's they were basically the laughing stock of the drift community. I recall the term "Ausfailia" at the time. Their road regulations were so strict it made it basically impossible to have a cool looking car. Lowered? Camber? Tire Stretch? Exhaust? nopenopenopenopenope fines everywhere for Australians. Most cars looked horrible.

Have the regulations loosened up? Or is everyone just saying fuck it?

Example, the entire NICE VIBE blog:

the laws here are prob worse than ever regarding impound/seizure and loss of license but more people have access to trailers these days to get to the track and just more careful about when and where we take our cars out.

mine is prob one of the lamest on there but that still got me in a lot of trouble with police so had to sell up and now just have a stockish r34 sedan for street and a corolla for track work
