few more details : car was originally a 1,6lt SOHC vtec, now a 1.8lt DOHC vtec car is low and reasonable loud (will this give any trouble trying to get mod plated?)

ok just rid my *swearing filters own me*in pushy around the industrial area looking for cape york automotive for an hour and a half and i couldn't even find it, went to svs and they do them but everything has to be up to there standards (they only do engines as well).


brb driving to brisbane just for a damn mod plate.

Go to Autobarn n speak to Tom, but heard whispers that he lost his licence tho.

[starlet666]

yer tom can no longer blue plate cars after some prior naughty events....

so u wont find anyone that is lax on it... it isnt like some roadies where they will let u go if u promise to do it next week or whatever... blue plates are there for a reason.... and thats the reason tom isnt doing them no more

[2JZZZZ]

Haha thought so.

So who does them, any engineering shops?

[starlet666]

pretty sure arb do plates for some things, and i know CYA do them aswell....

Federation Street. Drive down Scott street with Cairns Central dead behind you and keep driving almost to the end of Scott street. Turn Left. If you get to ARB you've gone too far. Maybe you should add a GPS unit to your list of mods and accessories.

Would you seriously want one that Tom approves? I know the hard time the owners of Toms previous efforts received and they where genuine mods.

Cape York Auto or Brakes n Safety would be my choices

if they were genuine mods, then whats the problem? he approved them didnt he? id also go thru cairns brake n safety, quick, level headed, and great service,

[sinister]

Time. You have to work around inspectors, they don't care about your time.

[Privatealpha]

+1 for Brakes N Safety.
Cost less than $400 including a dyno power and emissions test.

<br /><br /><br />are they very picky?

and lol @ at emissions test, i can smell the exhaust fumes inside my car! hmmm maybe need standard b18c ecu and exhaust/cat

dunno if the engine would even run on the standard ecu though




thanks for all the replies everyone, much appreciated

Like Sinister said, your time making the car/mods in question available for inspectors to inspect photograph blah blah.

[SiKnEsS]

yeh i get that, but that could happen to anyone who does blueplating, not just Tom, thats all im sayin, i wouldnt use him, but fair is fair, he wasnt charged with anything, and nothing could be proven, so could just be a witch hunt.......

[starlet666]

yer defz wasnt no which hunt.... there were a few cars taken off the road because of the things he was allowing... and if u seen some of the things he plated....u would know what i mean..... im no engineer but even i could see flaws in some things he was allowing

[SiKnEsS]

then im surprised he got let off scott free if it was as bad as u say.....

From memory, Cape York did mine for my rollcage on my old VN.. that's going back a couple of years now. They needed everything to be spot on though.
