A. That will depend on whether your vehicle meets with requirements

A. Again this depends on the amount of modifications done.

Another important thing that is sometimes overlooked is to consult an engineer BEFORE starting a project to find out exactly what can/should and can't/shouldn't be done.

Talk to multiple engineers too because some have different ideas on what can and can't be engineered and what tests need to be performed to engineer a car.

will incude that

I just remember talking to some guys that wanted to charge my first born to do a chassis flex test on the Mk1. Then others said sure, no probs and didn't even mention a flex test.

The guy I went with in the end wasn't too bad really but was a bit funny on some things that other guys couldn't give a bugger about... Easy fixes really.

mmm
interesting

why this is something i have started is because that friend of ours now
has
VicRoads authority
hes a VASS although not everything is setup yet
i did say to him that i would setup a webpage promoting engineering

so thats why trhis is here

Undoubtedly a good idea Jewels. Fantastic way to promote a business too.

Many people drive round in unengineered cars and then wonder why they get defected when they get pulled over (touchwood). Like about every single imported car in Melbourne for a start...

I think people would be much more likely to get their cars engineered properly if there was a bit more promotion about what an engineer does.
