its there to either

1. Waste your time

2. Take more cash

3. Waste your time and take more cash,

its actually there because people found a way around the other rules so they put a new one in place. that said if you are looking for a car why would you not want a stock one to start from. at least you would not end up with a hand grenade like some kids did with the 15 yr R32 GTR..

so instead of popping off , think about it laterally for a sec. if you want something different then you pay a price to have it. fairly simple concept.

The no modifications rule is just a simple blanket ban, not taking into account that cars that age generally will have modifications done to them.

And a blanket ban just goes to show how lazy the people making up these rules are.

It is nothing like a blanket ban, it isnt targeting JDM cars they are dragged into it, so the "blanket ban" comment is it a personal thought or something you have been officially informed about.

World coming to the end and unvalidated comments mean nothing till it is proven.

Isnt that what a blanket ban is? Everything older than 1989, no modifications after 1989, and you have to prove the date of those modifications.

It doesn't even elaborate on what "no modifications" mean, since that could mean anything, like someone has mentioned before, wheels. So its a whole undefined area that just makes it harder for people to get in cars they want.

lol I think you'll find he did already :P

The point is that currently, the changes are not targeting us, but the wording is ambiguous enough that, if you strike the wrong DoTaRS member on the wrong day, anything non-standard could be enough to get it knocked back.

well i hate to be the bearer of bad news guys but bitching about it in a sub section of a net forum isn't going to give us our answers...

perhaps it's time we started lobbying our government for change?

seems to work in thailand...

...too soon?

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
