Go and see the Rigoli brothers, they should help you out with any engineering issues. The last time i heard, they were in Labrador. Either that or check under engineers in the yellow pages. Parker Performance (i used to work for them) used to engineer and comply vehicles, but they've shut down due to stupidity.
Cheers,

That's the ones... I think it's V&S here on the coast, they are all brothers or cousins or whatever. And have companies all over, i think they're also in melbourne as well as sydney.
Parker Performance closed down because they were turning down jobs on cars that they could have made thousands on (custom exhausts etc.) because the owner didn't want to work on certain cars because he thought they were "japanese peices of shit". His market mainly consisted of V8 commodores. An aquaintance i went to TAFE with approached him to build a complete custom exhaust system including extractors for his supercharged corolla, the owner literally laughed at him and turned down a $4000 deal by saying "Sorry, we dont work on peice of shit 4 cylinder shit boxes!" What makes it even more stupid was that he was going bankrupt and needed as much work as possible. So yeah, he kinda had it coming and only has himself to blame for it.
