$600, or $650. I forget. February last year. (Nick Mannell)

No bugger out west here wanted to look at a simple six inch lift.
RTA Engineers everywhere (Griffith, Wagga, Albury), but all of them wouldnt touch it. So had to go for a 500 klick drive one morning to Mannells, then another 500 klick drive back home in the arvo. Wanted to punch all of these so called RTA complied engineer dudes out here in the face. If they dont touch certain stuff, get them kicked off that stupid RTA list.

i paid $440 for mine, engine swap, body lift, suspension lift, and sound test (needed for the engine certification) The engine swap is the expensive part ($308 from memory).... for other stuff, Athol Mullen charges $132 for the first mod, and $40 for each additional. And, there are no spelling mistakes on his certificate ;) Athol is in Cardiff as well...... his number eludes me at the moment, but it can be found on the RTA web site.

This is where i got the zook done at i payed $350 When markill got his done it cost him $650 We both have the same kind of mods The reason he gave us was that the rta was giving him a hard time now about suspension work
