Looks good man. Although, I must admit I am a little worried about Growler's response...

That is looking awesome, some nice work has been put into that.
All I can say, I don't know what the COPs are like in QLD, but in Vic (Dark coloured car, Big shiny cooler) would be COP BAIT just about every where. None the less its fantastic.

How hard is it to fit that cooler behind the front bar?
did you have to grind and cut the bar itself?

in s.a its also 3K for emissions testing, and everywhere else but qld i think...
and it would be a hell of a lot harder to pass than you'd think |

NSW you don't pay for emmisions testing.
still have to get it engineered though. its not $3k for the testing, hence why i'm asking where you guys heard $3k from? its not that hard to pass if you work with your tuner and plan ahead.

Dynomotive was able to give us (Rmyers enquired) a price of $1600 for the emmisions test, plus the usual engineering prices.
the car is specifically tuned to pass emmisions (they can tune it with the gas analyser) then take it back for the road tune once passed. all up it was roughly a $2500-$3000 job.

Thats about the cost of 20 seperate defects if you dont mind taking it all back to stock in between. Mine is easy as the replacement engine is going to be carby powered! All I need to do is an engine swap then remove the high pressure fuel pump and replace the stock exhaust.

that was inclusive of tuning, $1600 for emmisions, and generally $700ish for engineering fees.
guess it depends what ur tuning bill is usually like. they were fairly confident in the process so maybe give them a call about it. i agree its still a very expensive task, and even i'm considering giving it a miss. far worse things then being defected.
