Title: We should all be onto this........modification revision Post by: 2door350 on April 28, 2009, 02:50:02 AM hello all,
found out yesterday from my engineer that there is a draft revision (VSB 14 v2) of the modification code available for public comment. But only till the 30th of April! its located here www.pharosalex.com.au/pages/33acs4.html its a terrible website that cuts of info in stupid boxes, but thats beside the point The major change that affects us is the Engine Section http://www.pharosalex.com.au/locked_docs/ncop3_v2_section_la_engines_18_mar_2009.doc Under the revised schedule the FC is six, thats right six kgs too light to fit in the new category...1100kg and below (The mass of the vehicle referred to in the table is the original (unmodified) tare mass of the model vehicle fitted with the largest engine available for the model but without optional accessories (air conditioning, tow bars etc). The mass of the vehicle whether it is a sedan, station wagon, utility, etc, should be based on the heaviest sedan version of the model (not station wagon version)...which means maximum engine size is as follows 1094kg x .183 = maximum capacity in cubic inches which is 200.2 or 1094kg x 3 = maximum capacity in cc's which is 3282 FB and EK holdens with weights 1131 and 1129 fit the next capacity up allowing them to have 344 cu in or 5645 cc This is a major discrepency!!!!! Considering that they have identical track, wheelbase, floor pan sills etc and factory hp difference is only 3hp this will severely limit what we can do with our cars....some support, comments please... 2door350 Title: Re: We should all be onto this........modification revision Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on April 28, 2009, 09:02:45 AM There is some discussion about it on the FB/EK Forum, unfortunately without a National organisation that represents Modifiers there is little chance of having an impact on any decisions made.

What is the difference between an FB, EK front sub-frame an an FE-FC one? any? would it be possible to use this instead? I remember reading about someone who had to register an fc as an fe for this reason.... Could we use their own rubbish against them? Just a thought John Title: Re: We should all be onto this........modification revision Post by: JB on April 30, 2009, 07:04:42 PM Maybe I will just have to have an FB ute thats looks a lot like an FE!!
