Welcome aboard. We are working with a few customers in Australia build Pro Touring cars, helping with Project planning for the goverment review. Your regulations for making modifications are brutal!

They sure can be.

The bottom line is any modifications to brakes, steering components, changing engines or trannies has to be signed off by an engineer to get it registered for road use. It's more of a headache when changing to non stock sub frames, suspension etc.

In saying that, most stuff is do able if you plan it and discuss various options with an engineer right from the start.

What would be really brutal, is spending a bucket load of $$ getting gear in from you guys, fitting it up then be unable to get it passed for road use.

Agreed. Project Planning is so important in every build. With your requirments, the fact your so far away, and shipping is so much, it is even more important. We are working with a couple people getting some wild projects passed. They gonna be some badd boys runnin the streets over there.
