So as mentioned ive been trying to get cost and whats involved and ill use this post to update any replies I get so it may be useful for others to use.
I basically sent an email out saying mirage with mods (4g93,coilovers,brakes) with the questions , whats involved, does cost vary depending how many mods, and do they help out if you need to come back to them later on eg if you say turbo later on etc.
From what ive found out there is no regulation for the cost of this at all so they can pretty much charge what ever they like which leads me to believe the cost could vary a few hundered either way but we'll see.Also this is just is a fist contact email /call so it doesnt count for if the guy likes ya or hates you in the end and the cost/hassle may vary
anyways heres the first reply
all sound acceptable, need a weigh bridge ticket and then book in for inspection. $990 for full report 50% required up front

Heres the second reply this one includes a bit of info on what happens if you return later with more mods eg turbo
Hi Mark
The mods you are suggesting are not that unusual and will not be a problem as long as you use the original computer and harness for pollution requirements, the brake upgrade will need to be tested but that's not a big problem the cost will be $1000.00 for the mods you have mentioned, the problem is that when it is first certified I have to issue a certificate, when you fit the turbo I have to issue another certificate for just the turbo so if the certificate is for just the turbo its $500.00 if you add anymore to the certificate than just the turbo it becomes a complex certificate and that is $1000.00. hope this helps Don't forget that when you fit the turbo you still have to comply with ADR regulations for pollution and will have to go through a test to prove that it still complies with standard.
