In sa your NOT allowed to have a full rollcage, the cage has to finish behind the frontseat and then there is not allowed to be any seats in the rear.

Ive almost finished sourcing the parts needed for my VLT conversion.

A VL with a toyota 2JZ-GTE (twin turbo, 3L, I6) would be different but not unique, been done a few times from what i know of.

or a vl with a 409 big block out of a 65 impalla ss, can you say 10 ltr v8

yes with the roll cage in sa, when you remove the rear seats it becomes illegal as it isnt able to carry the stated amount of passngers,

well i had a idea of doing it to a mini, no rear seats and bigger motor but thought about it in detail and was told that rule so forgot about it.
when you get it engineered i would assume they would check the whole car over like regency and make it hard to get it regoed.

If you got the RB30 motor, put an RB25 or RB26 head on it, with all the goodies (Twin cam, 24 valve, Variable valve timing I think...), then you bolt on a Centrifugal 'Vortech' supercharger. With the larger throttle body and a bit of cam and ignition advance, plus adding an aftermarket ECU, you'd be laughing champ..
