Engineers and 86s

[maxhag]

Is your car on the road yet Scoot? Or are you still on two wheels?

[takai]

John Wilson has done 4 of my cars sofar, including the sprinter.
Which went through the RTA with a 37 page engineers report, and a list of mods about that long.
Notably it passed with this stuff, that i didnt think it would:
- in-cabin brake bias valve
- open (mesh filtered) quad throttles
- height adjustable coilovers
- Minimal interior (dash, center console and door trims).
- Bonnet pins
- Boot latches

Went through like this:

That photo was taken the day before engineering and 2 days before the RTA appointment.

got it on the road in july last year, but only used it for a handful of months before parking it and heading overseas... pulled it out of the shed and drove it to canberra this week after fixing a few bugs.

It should be noted that John Wilson has just been suspended from practicing in the ACT for 4 months. I won't go into detail here but those that have spoken to me about him should know why.

[kos!]

That is rather interesting... Will any of the cars he passed have to be re-assessed?

[nelpd96|]

No it would not be reasonable to re-inspect all his cars but there is a possibility that some vehicles may be recalled to Dickson to be review.

It's a Shame you're leaving... I'm affraid that my car will be nowhere near ready by the time your leaving and as such I guess I'll be using someone else...

Mind you if John Wilson isn't opperating for another 3 months I don't know he will be suitable either

do you mind if I pm/email a couple of basic questions I have?

[john84ie]

sorry for off topic,is there any sprinters for sale in act with a decent spec?

[maxhag]

message riderzx10r for jase's details. I believe he is selling his 4AGZE powered Spoontah

Yeah that is fine if you want to ask a couple of questions. I am still happy to do ACTcars as I am still registered there but it just takes some coordination to get down there and back. Return flights are only around $250, and if I can line up a couple of jobs it is a pretty cheap option.
