No, $2.5k as you would almost NEVER get it off defect here in SA (Regency Park here are absolute assholes - it would cost you more than $2.5k to stock it out to get it off defect and refit the mods - gearbox change, turbo/manifold change, original fuel pump back in, original ECU back in, Viper alarm out, turbo timer out, boost controller out, coilovers back to stock, oil cooler out, etc etc - they pick on EVERYTHING - in fact you would most liekyl come out of Regency Park with a significantly bigger list than when you went in (common)) - and it would be a HUGE headache to get it off defect in another state with SA rego.
