Hi Trevor

The biggest problem I have with the RTA is they will not give any advice or guidelines other than to say " Talk to your engineer,he has all the answers "
and then when you follow your approved engineer's advice and pass all the required tests the RTA reject the results.

If the RTA gave a direct and clear answer I would be happy to comply first time around rather than having to re engineer the car after it has been finished.

The most frustrating part is they have accepted other ICV's and hotrods using the same brakes but not this one.

All DRB GT40's are specified to use Corvette suspension and brakes and are registerable in other states.

Even in NSW Corvettes are registered with 350 cubic inch motors putting out huge amounts of power and a lot more weight than a 40 and use the same brakes and these are deemed to be ok by the RTA.

Some of the braking systems I have seen on cars with limited rego,club rego etc I feel should not be on the road.

Why is it that these rego schemes make the car any safer in their eyes ?.

How can they justify a vehicle to be safe enough for limited rego but not for full rego ?.

Whether the car is limited or fully registered it can stil cause the same amount of damage or injury in either case.

Either the car is safe or it is not there is no grey area in this as far as I am concerned.
