martrogers,

I believe that is still the current rule, i spoke to Kevin (engineer) in June and he said the same. Now i am not sure what happens when you use a crate motor, i think that it just has to be a current series motor.

When i move the car in about a month to the new house, i am going to organise to take my chassis in for testing whilst i have the car trailer. Im hoping this will be a good opportunity for me to ask some questions about motors, ESC, and i also need to find out about the brakes. Apparently you need to have the entire system from the doner car. Hopefully if i need to use the jaguar master cylinder i can install an adjustment valve of some sort as an unbalanced brake system will make for an exciting 160kph brake test!

In regards to the replica category, i think that is a good idea and i am happy to help make up numbers. Unfortunately i am like any other builder that is not retired and have very little time to spend yelling at a brick wall. As has been previously stated its the Kit Manufacturers that should be thinking about this as it is their full time job. I reckon that if it got to the point that registration was getting too difficult then there might be some action but at this stage everyone seems to get through eventually so maybe its not that bad. No matter what the rules are there will always be hurdles and problems to solve, thats part of the fun. Yes we are limited in what parts we can use but to be honest most of it is for our own safety. Personally i wouldnt install a carby engine even if i could because i find them a PITA (who wants to mess around with setting up floats and drilling jet blanks). Only real thing that worries me is what Baz says that goal posts can move mid build but that seems to only be NSW.
