Excellente!
 
How long until you can register it?

I'm back from the snow now and have a better internet connection...I couldn't be bothered elaborating before.
Basically the car is getting a few simple things sorted, including a wheel alignment, and it needs a sticker to show the gear shifter positions, and a few other things that I can't remember, then Consulmotive may inspect the car late this week if I'm lucky Once it's been inspected, if Consulmotive are happy with it, I guess I'll be receiving an engineers certificate and be able to get the car registered again.
MRC said that they will then give the car back to me for a little while so I can put some more km's on it, then they will do the full power tune, finally!

Sticker to show gears?? hahah are you SERIOUS? 
mine passed a full roadworthy with a trust rip off gear knob...

Alternatively I could buy a different gear knob which has the gear numbers on it (I'd prefer that option over an ugly sticker, but it might slow things down too much if I need to wait for a gear knob to arrive).

If the knob doesn't show which way for the gears - esp reverse, then it's a defect and doesn't meet RWC/rego compliance. A sticker on the base plate is fine.

I just got an update from MRC. My car is being inspected by the engineer tomorrow fingers crossed he doesn't find any issues that haven't been considered already. If it's all good, I should be able to get a blue slip next week and re-register the car!

good luck!

Let me know how you get along with the brakes being engineered :)

I just got another call from MRC.
The only thing that the engineer knocked back was the width of the rear wheels. Everything else passed!
 
My rear wheels are 9.5 inches wide, which is apparently 1 inch too wide.
(Note: the 18 inch diameter wasn't a problem).
 
So, I need to borrow some wheels if anyone can help me out.....?
 
- Ideally, it would be great if someone can lend me a pair of 18 inch Starcorp Impul wheels that are no wider than 8.5 inches (the engineer has been taking photos of everything as required, so the cops can make comparisons to ensure that the car is still in the same condition that it was engineered in).
 
- If no one has those wheels, I would probably need a full set of four 18 inch wheels of any other brand. My rear brakes aren't too 'outlandish' so there shouldn't be fitment issues there, but the front wheels would need to fit over my big front brakes.
 
Can anyone lend some suitable wheels to me?
