i just got my car rw and rego'd with top mount but then a mate went to same rw place a week later and they wont do it. still hasnt found anyone to do it. its all luck.

[sniffy]

i need one of those too! but my car shouldnt be a problem...3" exhaust and pod filter are the only mods and car is in good condition...i just need a cheap r/w!

[JET-33]

yeh all depends on the place

some people dont know exactly so they dont care, some people just dont notice that it shouldnt b a certain way...some people will do it if they know u wont turn on them etc etc

theres always a way...

[akeenan]

just try your luck. i knew a place that would have done it a few years back but as i dont work in the area anymore no idea.

Edit: Mistake.

RW testers are liable in court if you or someone else is hurt ,or in any accident if the car is found to be un road worthy. Accident insurance apraisers do check.

It is more difficult now.

Thing is though, you took the vehicle there, they tested it.. a week later 50 mods are back on after you left it with your "brother" there isn't much they can do.

Anyway, with the big top-mount turbo thing, you should be able to get it engineered for under $1000, then its fully roadworthy and can be registered that way. Probably the best way to go about it. It is possible to be fully legal you know, it just takes a bit of $

[haste]

anyone know of a reasonably priced engineer then? $1000 dollars seems a little expensive just to get a road worthy.

[haste]

I understand about RWC holders being liable, however I am prepared to get it registered and stick it in the garage for the rest of the 28 days of RW cover if thats what it takes.

[inark]

haste cant u just get a stockie for it til its roadied?

[pushead]

go down to springvale.. they can do rwc quite easily

[x2shy]

Get it done properly. (Eng cert, etc)

Think about, if you can get a RWC for a car that obviously isn't, then what does that say about RWC when you go sell/buy a car?

If there is one standard that EVERYONE sticks to, then everyone knows what a RWC means. Otherwise, you might as well sell your car with the 7 of clubs cuz that is as bout as meaningless as a RWC.

i spoke to an engineer about getting my car engineered so that its all legit. he told me that you cant get a car engineered that has been modified that is newer than the 80's (?) and he said that the only way to do it was to get it checked by the epa which cost 4k. dont know if this is ture though.

[akeenan]

sounds like b/s...but thats only my opinion

[predator]

No, its not actually true.. but some places probably are either unfamiliar with how to do it, or can't be bothered.

Getting it certified for EPA pollution regs is again a different matter..and yup, i think its a few $k because it has to go through a full involved process
