As you suggested, since you saw the car, many upgrades have been made. Basically with 2 x cats, upgraded exhaust system, carb clean out and tune, and a decent and experienced mechanic, it's possible to pass the IM240 with a carb. And there's been a few after me too.
From my interpretation of the current requirements all carbies are out as 15 years ago and only fuel injection will suffice for any form of compliance - this has been the advice from the local engineers over in S.A.
I guess it is all about the emissions after all and if you can validate that by way of an IM 240 emission cycle test then the results speak for themselves.
