That might explain it - you see a 1600 in the 70's is rated 96 bhp sae gross etc (75hp DIN but know one knows this at rego) and a L20B is rated at 94hp DIN (70kw) so no worries sir, no problem as I've actually dropped a couple of horses.

In NSW, you can self engineer a motor swap if the capacity increase and the expected performance increase do not exceed 15%. That would mean that a swap from an L16 to an L18 would be legal. I would not be surprised to find similar rules in VIC. Then it is just a matter of going into the RTA and filling in the appropriate forms, and you get to keep some more of your hard earned dosh. > > That's a really good point Terry brings up, that you should hold-out untill you can do everything legally and properly before hitting the road. A little more money and patience is worth it in the long run.It's always in your best interest to be honest and polite to the police. After being pulled over several times, it makes a huge difference if you're polite and up-front about your vehicle. I guess they hear so many excuses etc.. that they appreciate some straight-talk :) I just heard of someone who was hit by a car in NZ travelling 200 km/h in a 50km zone it was pretty horrific by the sounds of things. Just brings the whole modified car scene to a lower level when people drive stupidly in built-up areas, then the general public assumes the person behind the wheel is a danger to everyone. Guess I sound like an old man (I'm not that old!) and a little speed is great fun sometimes but it's worth thinking about. Good luck with the L20b conversion. > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
