Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Soon it will be time to lift, cut and add some rubber.

Its been awhile since I got my last engineers report, what everyone paying now....NSW that is.

Is $900 to much? I paid $230 last time...

$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.

Big rubber,lift,exo etc,etc....paid $400 12mths ago,done by the 'old digger' from VTOL Aircraft in Cardiff.But have since been informed from 'Officer Plod' that he is currently under RTA investigation for dodgy certs'.

$550 incl gst then about $150 for additions

$700 from memory including swerve and brake test at the old Canberra dragway.... about 2 years ago.

Yeah, he's about $960 now, he did my original one.

mine was 900 and i am NOT happy about it at all. AND my cert was full of massive spelling errors.

Post it up?

$800 for certificate this coming week- engine conversion, 35's, suspension and bodylift ( in Sydney). Will post up how it turns out. Around $800 is the new going price for certificate from what I heard.

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.
