Postby noddi85 » Sat Jul 24, 2010 10:26 pm

Hi all.

I use to live in tassie and found a place to engineer it over there but since ive moved here its hard to find a place to do it locally...

Vicroads keeps a list of approved engineers. Linke to a two year old list.
http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rd...t15April08.pdf
May be worth calling them for an updated list.

I've seen 2 in W.A. but apparently there's a 3rd one running around.

Duj has had 2 in South Australia and I think Lee's was registered in QLD before it started running down the 1/4 mile faster than a speeding bullet.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

plenty of views. Its a lot of hard work. Not suggesting you are not capable. Might be an idea to have a search.
you've probably hit a nerve here as people are trying not to be negative.

I think there was a workshop in NSW claiming to be working on a kit, there was some discussion (around the same time as Adam bought his kit), try going through the forum search results for "rotary".

Plenty of info on the forum (just do a Search).
Being in Victoria it is going to be very difficult. Like you are doing, find an Engineer who can help you. Get ready to spend heaps of cash.
