hi builders, I have my final submission in at Qld transport and am having a few hassles.............. Before they pass it I need to provide: - documentary...
Hi Charles, Welcome to the nightmare. We are in basically the same battle but with a different engine. This is what we have found so far: They will only...
Ok - so how do we do something about it , we must be able to get a lead on the proposals , a polie who can be on our side are any active in CAMS in Qld , all...
Charles this disturbing news. It is probably what one would expect from an organisation like QLD Transport. I am not sure what good speaking to a pollie would...
I'm also in the same boat down here in Vic. I have a s/top that I will probably need the Westfield ECU mod to get it passed. But I believe I can get away with...
Charles, Just read the first line of my post and wanted to clarify, didn’t mean to downgrade your issue and apologies if it came across that way. I just...
... Hmmm, I'm about to start building a car in Brisbane and am curious about this test - can anyone explain what is being tested or point me to the relevant ...
Hi All it has got me worried too I make the fibreglass parts in Brisbane and have just sold my house so I can get a house with room for a big shed. Transport...
They're not going to test it (the fibreglass, that is). Just tell them any old bollocks that sounds vaguely plausible... ... From: Locost_Oz@yahoogroups.com...

Andrew, Good call, if people can collect this IM240 test data for each engine I'm sure others would be happy to pay for it. I know I would. This would be the...
hi Andrew, no worries I understand where you are coming from and agree we must try to use our numbers to help each other. cheers, ... mean to ... just feel ......
I just spoke to Qld Transport and was told that IN240 will only be accepted on a case by case basis. ... would. ... to ... it ... didn't ... I ... these ... ...
Scott, Charles et al, Even if it must be a case by case basis at least we would know what standard of engine is likely to pass the test. This would allow...
Hi Charles, There was an approval for the 20v as a grey import ( it is just a derivitave of an Aussie engine or so the approval said - I have seen it but do...
The Westfield 20v was tested at Ford - the first one failed - 120,000 klm and a S/H cat. Second one breezed through - low klm and a new cat. No mods were made...
Hello All, Been watching for some time, so now introducing myself. This issue withe the fibreglass seems a misinterpretation of the rules, to me. Qld Code of...

I know that it has been mentioned before, however I will ask again. Surely there must a Clubman owner/owners living in Sydney who would be willing to put their...
I think the problem is that QLD is requiring each car to be tested individually and are not going to accept a blanket approval for engines unless it is from a...
G'day Your email has bounced, hence mesage sent over this forum. I have just spotted a message where you say you built a locost at school. I'm planning on...
I agree with you Jon, however you may have missed my point. If Qld transport agree to Corolla AE101 motors being used dependant on emissions test results, that...
You can use what ever motor you like as long as you can prove it complies and that is what QLD transport are asking you to do, prove it, they can not give you...
Charles, not wanting to make too much fun of a seriuos issue, but if they say that each engine must pass on its own merits, why not ask them if they insist...
