go to rta website, type in engineers - gives u a list of engineering signiatories. took mine to mobility engineering in hornsby. how much depends on what u want engineered. most places charge $500 and up. the main thing they want to see is that it passes noise and emission test - exhaust below 90db, needs to be tested by EPA, in botany. i had a 5 inch tacho installed on passenger side dash which had to be removed for safety reasons. basically the car needs to be safe and pass adr legislation

hope that helps

This is for Vic, each state will have their own legislation though. Try the web, search EPA websites. Also you can look at the dotars website for ADR's etc.

shit, n i thought we had it bad in perth with all the antyhoon laws that they take the car away just for a little burn out or "slip".

lots of times if u take the car to a diffrent pit with more felixi engineers n talk to them nicly they will not ask for engneer papers for smal mods like u mentioned anyways.. well thats the case in perth. the only two times we had to get one of them was with a fully rebult n turboed honda type R and a gtir/SSS convergen .. but that is cuz usualy when we take the car to the pits here we make sure we take off all extra little things n boost them down a little, put a silencer in them and take the blow off out.. if the work on the car dont look home made n there is nothing moving, leacking or sounding too bad then they are usualy ok with it provided u get a nice person.. it might be worth ur time trying in a cuple of diffrent places b4 u look for engineering cert with small mods like that..

good luck

BOV and filter are illegal, exhaust will have to be shut up to make it comply, good luck

PS they really are in some ways trying to help, as the BOV will decrease your fuel ecomomy and make the emissions heaps worse.

i was told by my mechanic that if your BOV is 'plump back' as a pose to 'vent to atmosphere' it's perfectly legal. And that pod filters can be made legal if there are boxed on all six sides. I could be wrong though

[FAT_3L]

a plumb back bov is legal and so is a pod filter if its fully enclosed so that it doesn't get any of the engines hot air but it needs to have some sort of cold air intake too.

Yeah the only engineers that the police recognise are the ones that the rta approve of..
