RE: engineering 1600

[Charlotte Robertson]

Does anyone know what the requirements for a cat are in Qld?? Is it the same as in the southern states? My dat is a '69 model.   - Charlotte     From: Greg Subject: RE: engineering 1600 Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 14:39:42 -0800 Is that cause of the build date of the car is it?  That's interesting.  I wonder if they will be changing that?  What year is your car again, mine is a '72.  From what period do you have to run a cat?? regards Greg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of CM510 Sent: Saturday, 19 January 2002 12:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: engineering 1600 I will get his number across to you Greg, as it turns out only a dozen or so engineers are authorized by Vic Roads to perform engineers reports, so if you get 'the list' of authorized engineers from them, he is easy to find. The other thing I didn't mention, NO cat converter required.
