Yeah think il just go some where in mandurah I'm not sure if I should try get over the pits with the big setup the only thing is the clearance issue between the manifold and chassi rail as it's 3mm not sure what an engineer would think about it any one had experiance with engineers ???

you can get over the pits with 19inch rims mate, just apply for a permit while your there, mazza done that with his 19s. time for engineering man.... spend the $$$ and get it done. otherwise your gonna piss away money trying to get it over then putting it back, then next time you get stickered youll do it all over again or sell up. i hope you didnt cut the rail.... that would have to put you in the ****...
