Adding To the subject, my engineer told me to persue the issue of individually constructed vehicles and the issue of hotrod compliance rules. I regret that I am too busy to persue this issue although I am really cranky about it.
More than six years building my Cobra because of work and lifestyle interruptions; I am generally " pissed off " with the whole RTA crap regarding these vehicles. It boils down to liability,the fear of it and the incompetance and ignorance of those that run the place.
Basically....nobody has the morals to make a commonsense decision.
My rego compliance approval travelled from one outbox to another inbox and back everyweek for ten weeks before my engineer intervened. ( if not for him my car would not be registered 5 years later ) I truly feel we must create a proposition {regardless of state} to recognise these vehicles (ICVs) as an equal or better than hotrods and should have the same dispensation as hotrods enjoy.
I'm in a bad situation right now to persue this issue at this time (I've got the s***s again) but I think we,the club, should seek some sort of argument to put forward to the government and the RTA to get a standard compliant result. maybe a lot of wind but maybe not
