ICV discussion
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 11:04 pm
Hello...
I was just wondering if anyone here has done the necessary hoop jumping involved in building a mighty boy as an icv(individually constructed vehicle). The ICV legislation is awesome for project car builders, hot rodders, and kit car owners. After a decent skimming of the ADR's (Australian Design Rules) i have not really comfirmed the vehicle type from the list. the monash university crash statistics page shows the mighty boy as a class NA vehicle, which isn't LT1-4(common classifications for most passenger vehicles) This would put it in the commercial vehicles category for which there are different power to weight calculations id assume, but i can't find the new power to weight ratio formulas for commercial vehicles.
In the ADR pdf on light vehicles it said that vehicles that weren't in the Lt1-4 category, and instead The commercial vehicle category(NA and some other one i forgot) were exempt from the power to weight calculations rule for light vehicles.... to which i raised an eyebrow.
Anyways.... long story short... im planning on making a balls out mighty boy, and it looks a little loopholey in my favour.
Probably worth mentioning to old mate with the VE ute conversion...
Cheers.
P.S. if anyone knows more about this kind of thing, or has been through it... I would love to hear your input.
