Nah that motor will be fine in WA, you can still license a Cobra with 302 EFI from an AU falcon. All you need for WA is that the engine is ADR37/01 compliant.

Is there anyone rallying for changes in legislation for ICV's. I have heard that there are rumours about lightening the rules for engines, but this is not going to happen without noise.
Seems to me that a lot of it is interpereted anyway as the majority of ADR's i have read so far specify destructive testing.

Is there a group that makes noise about this stuff either in the hot rod world or kit car world?

Without a WIFM the only people to care about this is the ICV crowd. Which is all of us - what percentage of the driving public would that make up?

IMHO the rules are only going to get worse not better as the pollies all go for the next attention grabber. Would noise help or hinder our cause?

I can see it now: "Coming up next on Tomorrow Tonight, deathtraps are being assembled in backyards by unqualified people and are these hoons are flouting the laws of society, do you know of one of these?, send us an email or go to our website..."
