Was talking to engineer today. rb30 turbo out of question now. stuffed up my plans. vic has adopted that 14 clause shite.

the engineer said he recently passed a 5ltr fc ute but now he said he cannot do anything more than a 253 holden, lexus quad cam naturally aspirated 4ltr v8 etc. He said he thinks its all shite cos u can get a hyped up 2 litre rb26 that will shit all over a larger v8 but the power comes in quick and harsh whereas a 5 litre v8 is much more manageable in the wet especially.

Spoke to a third engineer today, he does a lot of hotrods etc and he confirmed what I have said above in regard to capacities to have a legal conversion. Imagine how much kit hotrods will cos now, they have to be fully ADR compliant in line with a new car now! That will push the price of existing ones through the roof.

Full rego Hot Rods  should climb nicely $$$$  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  street rod rego pre 1948 should be OK ;D Kit cars are the ones that are in real trouble with the new laws ........FC427........
As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride
