I used to live in Adelaide and years back the Police used to have the specification of most cars which they used to make sure it was standard. There have been other people posting on here from Australia who seem to have modified Cosworths which are road registered ok. Do you still have to take it to the Police Garages at Theberton for them to check it or is it done by the Dept of Transport?
Hope this helps. Where do you live in Adelaide, I lived in Salisbury.
Cheers Richard from Southampton.
Hi Richard, thanks for that. I live in Happy Valley south of the City. I have lived here for 12 years and am originally from Chesterfield. I have had to take the car to Regency Transport SA for the road worthy. All is good at the mo with the car as it passed the ride height but I need to adjust the exhaust as the centre muffler is only 75 mm from the ground and has to be 100mm. It's a large bore all the way through but it looks like its made up of none genuine parts and the welds look pretty average. Once that is done I should be ok. I drove it for the first time yesterday (Jesus) I used to own a prepped Mk2 Rs 2000 back in the uk and thought that was quick off the mark. lol...
