I dont agree with the idea of modifying it after getting rego. Ok some mods you can get away with because its hard to test them afterwards (emissions) but you have the problem of driving an unroadworthy vehicle if you get slapped with a yellow canary or worse, a red sticker.

If you have an accident while driving an unroadworthy vehicle, especially an accident involving damage to persons and property it will get pretty ugly.

Cobra's arent all that ballistic anyway - what would be typical mods that arent compliant? Sidepipes? I dont think the quick pit jack point things are needed on a street car.

This is one of the main reasons why Im completing and selling of my Mazda RX7 project - the liability.

Also engineering for 1.5k could be pretty cheap depending upon the nature of what needs certification - some have paid double that on project cars Ive seen.
