I suppose my first visit to the Engineer for chassis testing in a few weeks will be my record of when i started.

Hi Liam,
In VIC you need to make contact with an ICV Vic Roads Engineer and "register" your build - nothing formal. But you need to provide proof of your major purchase - i.e. chassis ans thats DOM - Date of Manufacture or build date and you must comply with ADRs from that date. You then get 3 years to build it.
I think NSW is similar.
Regarding ESC - My beef is - Why do we continually need to get car manufacturers to compensate for crappy drivers. Why dont we make things like defensive driver training mandatory and a regular refreshers etc.
One good thing they have done is that in VIC all learners need to run a log book and run up 120 hours prior to getitng their license. My son who is 17 is going through this now. I can see marked improvements in his driving as he starts to get up to around the 70 hour mark. Of course you can fudge the log book but most people give it a fair stab.
End of my rant.
