no, i do not plan to drive around an illegal car. i will be preparing the car such that it will pass (and exceed) the requirements of an engineers cert.
i was just having doubts on whether i should be arsed to get it regoed and then pulling it straight off the road.
the thing is, even if engineered, they will scrutineer the car 100% more when doing a blue slip prior to rego if the conversion is already done.
i'm taking it for a blueslip on the 7th then rego soon after. i will then start the conversion as soon as possible, get it engineered and then start driving
Looking at it now, i figure it was pretty stupid even asking but my reasoning was that it WILL be engineered no matter what. An engineers certificate passes the car and says that it has been scrutinised, tested and is roadworthy. this is in effect a blueslip for an already registered car that has been modified.
its just the order in which i would have done this which was in question.
EDIT: inspected the loom today and realised it is in effect...... fucked
anybody looking to get rid of a complete (cut or uncut but must be complete) AE101 levin 20V loom with all engine diagnostic, injector, water/coolant control and computer plugs with or without computer?
Also had a good idea on modifying the water outlets. the thermostat (and heater hose) housing hanging off the back of the block has to go so i think i will fabricate just a flat plate with 90 degree bends to replace it (and slim it down to clear the firewall) then a section of hose running round the side of the block to a section of copper (or similar) pipe which leads to where i will remote mount the thermostat housing on an ally plate bolted to the cross member or something then to the radiator. it'll be good.... i hope
