SYKOV6 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 yep bundy stokes is real good. what the cert costs depends on the extent of the mods. my corty for example was gonna be $700 from him but was a full cert engine/box/diff/brakes etc. sumthin like a gearbox swap might only be $150. i have a drive shaft loop for sale if any one wants one $100 plus frieght Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYKOV6 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 yep thats exactly right. i think a cert on a scratch built car like a hot rod or kit car is over a grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l1ttle_d3vil Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 i paid $400 for engine, gearbox and diff... i didnt have to take a WOF sheet in, he just failed me on the stuff he wasnt happy with and I fixed it up and went back. some of the WOF-related items he failed me on was excess play in a wheel bearing, windscreen wipers not working properly, couple of bolts missing on break lines (original lines). the rest of it was mod-related. he didnt charge me for the re-check, and actually met up with me on a sunday to put the plate on (i was out of town).

I thought that level two was structural mods to the chassis of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 yeah,it also includes seat mounting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I was level 1 still and my seat mountings got certed. Was a few years back tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYKOV6 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 your mods are basically bolt in with little or no fabrication required that is why its so cheap. ring him up and ask how much to cert a 350/auto/9in in a mk2 corty with vebnted disc adaption . master cyl and tunnel mods. the reason u have to cert batt relocation is 1- new cables have to be run he will check if it too close to exhaust/driveshaft brake lines etc if it rubs thru it could cause a fire 2- battery mounting put a loose batt in your boot and crash into sumthin see how far that 20kg brick will go.

Raizer Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The wof guys have never said anything about the battery in my boot or my bucket seats, and i don't have a cert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 most places dont give a fuck. Moral of this thread. - every cert place is differant both in cost and lenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYKOV6 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 yep i think thats right too. wde body like me has or intends to highly mod an old car [ not just minor part changes] which require custom 1 off fabrication. so i think he has a very good handle on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 may also depend on if your car is a open hatch or a sedan...my 7 has the battery in the boot where it could possibly fly forward and scone you in the head,and escort would be in a enclosed boot.. tunnel modding is a fairly serious mod,done wrong and your car could be warped...theyl probably measure for that ae... none of my stuff was "bolt on" it was all fabricated parts...
