Dear fellows,

Good to see there are so many other Mini Lovers here in AUS. Well I imported a 1.0 Litre 1987 model Mini from Japan recently. But the problem is that the Engineers (MoSt of them here in Victoria) didn't write a report for them with 1.0 Litre Engine. Now one of these Engineers told me that they can't live without fools like me... just kidding, yeah i mean he told me that if I provide him a comparison car which has same Engine 1.0 Litre then he can give me the report. This Engineer is in Eastern Suburb of Melbourne. Now I was wandering if anyone of you has a Mini with 1.0 LItre Engine and its an import, also if it has a compliance plate fitted to the car, then only the pictures of the Engine and Compliance plate will do. I can come to your place to take the photos myself with me Digi Cam.

Its been over a month guyz I'm stuck .... everyday I look at my baby and I go crazy cuz I can't drive it... its lovely, goovy baby... so come on guyz and sweat galZ... help me please.

Thanks for all help,

Regards,

Vick

maybe try vic mini car club. they might have a mini owner with a 1L import

its my understanding that if the car imported is older than 1989 it dosnt matter what engine it has in it, it just needs intrusion bars, seat belts, fuel neck restrictor and child restraints.

check out this post in fast fours, this guy is an importer so maybe ask him.

No need to find me on Fast Fours, I am here as well.

Is yours an auto? From what I've been told I am having absolute shits trying to engineer it in NSW as it's an auto (ADR did specify auto gearbox must have 'P' gear and these auto's doesn't) but funny enough it's fine in Victoria or Queensland, just not NSW.

Why would he need to compare the engine with other similar 1L cars? All he need to do is compile a 0-4-5 report saying it meets/complies with ADR standard. One of my clients have used this company - www.sricar.com - they're expensive but they can get the job done without fuss.
