Welcome to the Street Machine Association of South Australia (SMASA). Incorporated in July 1980, the Street Machine Association of SA (SMASA) is run by volunteers and caters for all vehicle and bike enthusiasts to uphold the modification, restoration and enjoyment of car enthusiasts in SA. SMASA has been instrumental in driving a number of changes on behalf of members and other enthusiasts. Achieved by creating petitions, regularly meeting with the Minister for Transport, The Hon Stephen Mullighan and maintaining a media presence. After 10+ years of lobbying the government, The Hon Stephen Mullighan announced scheme changes on 18 December 2016 and implemented them on 1 July 2017. Most significantly: A rolling 30-year cut-off Legally modified vehicles can now access the scheme LHD cars can now be legally modified Reduction of red-tape to free up club representatives Since the changes were implemented SMASA has grown in strength and size from 400 members to over 3,700 members in 2019.
