Hi to all Victorian cobra builders,
This is my first go at starting a thread so please don't shoot me if it does not work, that also goes for the info below as it is my understanding from a quick call to my engineer. Further comment most welcome.
For those of us that will not complete our cobra’s before the end of this year, it may be beneficial to contact your VAS approved engineer and sign a contract (application) which will allow and additional 3 years to complete your car if using a non Euro 2 spec motor to comply with ADR 79/00.
If you plan using a ‘04 build motor I believe it is not an issue where as it will be if using a post ’97 build Australian engine or post ’92 American build engine with pre ’05 stamped chassis.
Apparently this has already happened in New South Wales, not sure about the other states in Oz. Check with your engineer for your state or territory.
My understanding is there’s no legal obligation to use the engineering services on signing, it’s basically a application to indicate you have started your project and save the expense of buying a new engine.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
Dale.
