How Can some Street Rods get full NSW Rego?

And I agree it doesnt seem fair, but the HotRod guys got together and did something about it, so far apart from the small group that was put together, all that Cobra guys have done is sulk.

Couldnt agree more. The attitude of cobra owners is "it will sort it itself out and if it doesnt who cares my car will be worth more". Currently there are clubby people working on a number of approaches to save ICVs in NSW and what are the cobra people doing? Is the NSW cobra club doing anything?

Do people actually understand that cobras can not be registered in NSW at the moment regardless of make or engineer because of what the RTA wants? Everyone has this attitude of they will give an exemption like the crash testing. Well no they wont just give an exemption.

Its not as easy for hot rods as everyone thinks. In NSW if you want full rego for a hot rod it is done as an ICV. If you want club rego then it is done through the ASRF to their code.

The cars that Baz has seen would not have look anything like that when first registered and run the risk of being defected everytime they drive. Its no different to a cobra with live side pipes.

Big superchargers sticking out of the bonnet and major mods after rego are a big contributor to the current NSW nightmare and im sure it wont be long until it spreads to other states.

I am researching what is required in NSW for 'Club Rego' of Cobras. I don't want to go down that track as I want fulll Street Registration, but if that appears unlikely, as will be borne out by my next RTA inspection, whenever that may be, I will be judged by the decision that flows from that inspection.

I will be sending of a letter to the President of the NSW Cobra Club shortly to investigate and implement the 'Club Rego' system for Cobra owner's in this State who, because of the RTA policies, are unable to get their cars approved for for Street Rego.

This is especially relevant for those who are in the process of building their cars and who will be caught up with the latest traconian and dictatorial amendments that we will have to face in the future like the VSCSS and VSB14.

Does anyone out there know how the Green Slip Insurance system applies to vehicles with 'Club Rego?'
