one thing id like to know is what have the engineers been doing over the past few years
regarding engineering a car for first time
i remember years ago if u wanted to do a conversion u would ring an engineer and ask them can i do this conversion
well seams these days they have no idea of half the rules
y have so many retired all of a sudden
also has any other engineer been able to past an icv lately
i know some have retired but it would be good to actually ring other engineers that
are still working full time for rta and also will be working with rta for many years
just do a fake call and say hi sir i plan of getting my cobra finished soon would u like to engineer it just to see what they say
i cant see y engineers cant be like mechanics or auto electricians
u get good ones and bad ones
and also i cant see y some enigneers would get on better with the rta than others
its just like any other business u have your favourite customers and u have the ones where u dont answer the phone if they call u hehehehe
has anyone called or used john at consulmotive lately
i know he is pretty popular engineer for alot of cars these days
would be good to see what he says about an icv and if he would take a job on of engineering an icv
getting afew differnet opinions from afew engineers might be abit helpful for down the track

I spoke to John back in August last year and he said no way will he work with an ICV because the RTA are too hard to deal with on them. I had about a 10 min conversation with him. He seemed like a nice guy with a genuine interest in cars. Same goes for Peter Smith and Peter Gillard.
I rang most of the Sydney based engineers on that list and only 2 said yes, one of which going by a recent letter from the RTA isnt on their christmas card list. That was before the current scheme and it is worse now. Now my engineer has said he cant give any answer as to whether he will sign up to the new scheme. My engineer was part of the trial for this new scheme.
