fixeruperer,
how much roughly did those tests cost you? did you make up a temporary exhaust to pass?

[fixeruperer]

the brake and sound test was included in the $1000 (he does it there) and i cant remember how much the sniffer test was, it was under $200 (trade price tho). roadbend in welshpool did it.
the weigh bridge was $11 in welshpool and the dyno is normal dyno price but i had the dyno guy print up an old graph.

yeh, i made some silencers for my tail pipes, it passed by .2db hahah.


thats a pretty old pic, ive got a new bumper now and the cut out fits the pipes and the pipes are straight had to give it a lean to clear the diff to stop a rattle untill i made clearance.

This thread has helped me alot already. Would the process be much different if you're trying to re-register a car with the same stuff as fixeruper as mine is almost the same bar the 340hp bit haha

yeah southam engineered my gze into ke70 at one point too.
nice guy, fair prices.

nothing beats legit-ness if you have the money.

[yeah i actually had a yellow with my configuration before. popped the bonnet at the myaree pits and they were like oh shit... but the old guy looked over just had to fix reverse lights not working the wire had come off the reverse switch, ripped the sticker off and said be good.

i was going to get it engineered but as yet havent been bothered. only thing that wont meet standards on mine is the wolf 3d computer which cant meet emissions as it fires 2 injectors at once. all the rest should be fine, bigger box diff and brakes all round.

yeah fixeruppers car is pretty wild, 340hp atw running a dirty big t4 no crazy body kit pretty inconspicous looking too.

todd no's of a bloke that does engineering in willeton that is pretty reasonable]

Hey man jus wondering wear bouts the myaree pits are, got to take a mates 32 over but not sure which one to go over.

Cheers

myaree pits are just across from harvey norman on stock road.

have any one attempt to get an AE86 or KE70 engineered (only it can be done) with a much larger displacement engine than stock (ie 3SGTE or 2RZ) kind of things in WA? if all things are done properly, will it passed?

[Dom86]

You could put a 6.7L HSV motor into a 86 if you really want. It just has to be done properly and signed off by an engineer.
What ever your project is, there is a process to do it right.
Step One, after you've got your ideas together, will be to go see an engineer or 3, to see what they will and wont do. Safe Vs Not safe.
If you do step one, you will save a lot of time and money.
