As the title says, has anyone in Australia ever completed a swap?
I was considering it but couldn't find any importers that looked decent and looking at the RTA specifications you would need to convert brakes, suspension, steering and the works to get it registered and knowing the laws prob a mandatory AWD conversion too. In the end it would be worth hunting down 1 of the 77 GT4's and buying that. Also, the NSW laws don't permit a 5sfte to be used on the road because of some stupid law that says if the engine did not come standard as a turbo it can only be used on the track if it gets a turbo added. Although im sure there must be a loop hole there since i'm sure i've seen alot of random turboed cars around. Cheers. |
