I just said he's done it, he needn't buy them from Animal. The concept is the same as other honda & camira conversions. If he does some leg work he should be able to put together a set of his own.

Yes. Yes he should.

I got two sets of Prelude callipers there if you want a set. $60. Or free if you get me a second set of backing plates made at the same time.......

oh.. and also the rta also requires a heater demister set up and two speed wipers....

I am doing a camira conversion too

yeah i should lol

i have two more full on weeks at work then i will look into someone making up a couple sets of backplates if your seriously interested

yeah honda conversion seems a good way to go with 13s

and yeah i havent heard of anyone getting in trouble for adjustable suspension just heard it wasnt legal though

I think with adjustable suspension they are more talking about suspension arms eg rosejointed lower control arms etc. I think the hilos are not an issue. Also as previously stated my Engineer gave me the OK for no cat stating that the RTA here had changed the law for pre72 cars irrespective of what engine is going in???

is there any chance that you could send me the details of this new ruling?
I would love to not need a cat......
my engineer is under the assumption that I do.

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/ ... /vsi06.pdf
never mind this is the link....

but it does read that it is up to the individual engineer pre 76 cars....
I will still try tho

It has all the other mods that I talked about in it.

im pretty sure the deal with adjustable suspension is that it cant be altered while driving.... ie hydraulics, or airbags. i have spax adjustables in mine and had no trouble getting it over the pits. just lift it a little before you go.

sorry off topic. but Gti Mini i think you might live down the road from me, i used to help my sister do a paper run and she deliver to a house where i saw a yellow mini being built, i have looked at the pictures of what i assume is your swift clubbie and i believe it is the same house, i am in bridgeman downs, could that be your roundy i saw being built?

Manofaus, this seems to be a ruling specifically made by the ACT RTA so no help for you I would expect. My engineer said that he would require a cat from me if I live in NSW! (He is licenced in both states!)

Actually I just read the NSW stuff and it pretty much equates with his approval for me not to fit a cat (I noticed it said pre 72 not pre 76 also). To quote handout:



Now taking the latest ADR applicable to my 1971 Mini means no cat (not invented)
