this is the reason y some engineers are giving up on cars

the rta bring in these dumd ass rules

i recond some new factory cars might have problems stopping at 160

well to do this properly u have to hire a track or go on a track day and do it

this is ahrd to plan and u need afew cars to do at once just to make it cheap


i just finished wirign an austin healy and it cost the guy 1g for engineering

didnt do brake test car was factory sort of except for 20v engine

engineers are goin up and up in price and the rta aint helping

Sideshow....I'd just ask the engineer to supply me with documentation that the STATE insist on this test. Remember it is the STATE which interprets, or accepts, and enforces, the EPA recommendations. That's why the states have different requirements.

I would then seek from the Minister an explanation why his department is insisting a member of the public put his/her life at risk in meeting the standard.

I don't care if it's tested on a track or not....it is still a risk at those speeds. Not every member of the public is comfortable driving at 160klm.

Who accepts the responsibility if some-one is injured, or worse, disabled or killed during this testing?

Phil reckons my LS2 won't pull 160? Does that mean it won't qualify for engineering/? :

Baz, If that was the Phil with an M, ie. the Phil who has inappropriate murals painted on his car, then I'd take little notice.

We have proof of his respect for the chev on video. His action in leaping backwards during Andrews first start, and in warning his missus to stand clear, is clear to see.

The man is just a closet Chev admirer.
