“Street Legal Engineering”

Rory Thompson Services (RTS) is experienced in dealing with modified cars and in helping you build a kit car. We can help you with all your engineering needs. We are able to help you with your dream project car or just getting a defect removed. Many people are caught out by rushing into modifications before seeking advice, at RTS we are able to help you with the advice and guidance you need throughout your project.

We suggest that to avoid any confusion about what you can and can’t do to your ride to keep it street legal, that you consult with us before starting your dream car project. Many parts manufacturers often claim their product is “Street Legal” but often they are more interested in a sale than your safety. Poorly modified cars can be dangerous to the driver and the general public. This does not mean that cars can not be modified just that there is a right way for doing it and RTS can guide you.
