You can modify, customise or retune your car, motorcycle, van or ute. But any changes you make must not put you or others at increased risk when you're on the road. That's why any modifications you do make may need a low volume vehicle (LVV) certification to get a warrant of fitness (WoF).

Engine conversions or modifications. An LVV certifier will need to check any potential effects of engine modifications on the adequacy of your vehicle's braking system.
