OK,
Spoke to Kevin @ Laksedge Engineering today about a few things:
My 2002 engine should be OK if the info from Holden is clear that the 2002 engine meets the same emission standard as a 2004. Boxhead, do you know if there is a document that states this??
He recently put through an LS1 Cobra with a 5 year old engine and the RTA has requested that it be emissions tested.
Plums, better give me a stock 2004 tune for now.
Other things he answered that may interest the NSW guys.
He is OK with my centralised dash layout, as long as the speedo is easily viewed and on the right side of the car.
Original bonnet locks are still a pedestrian hazard, so put them on later.
The driveby noise test is 74 db. He does not think any Cobra will pass without lots of noise proofing in the right areas.
Kevin does his testing at Oran Park, it depends on how many he fits in as to when it happens. If I fail a noise test he is happy to re do that near his workshop.
He wants about $1700 for the certificates these days.
I had better get to work if I have any chance of finishing this year!
