hi guys,

i'm just wondering if i'm going to need an engineers cert when i eventually get my car registered. the only major changes is that i took out the 138 engine and reaplaced it with a 186, and changed the gearbox to a five speed celica box. do either of these modifactions warrant a cert.? thanks :spoton:

Not that I am aware of. I went from a factory 161 in my lc up to a 202 with webers and the RTA didn't even ask when I regitered it. But if you're concerned just give Vicroads a call or your state registering office and they will tell you.
Cheers Chris.

by the letter of the law in victoria if you have a power increase of 10 % then you need an engineers cert....as far as I am aware it isn't policed and is almost impossible to enforce.

Gearbox "x" member may be an issue.
I have never seen this mod. but would suggest using original "x' member if poss. and redrilling holes to suit. Any welding could draw attention at RWC time.

if you buy a Xmember it should come with a engineers cert.

FastEH, that law applys for 10% over the most powerful engine available for that model, a 186 wont have 10% more power than another 186 or 202 witch would have been the most powerful engine available for a LC or LJ respectivley.
as for the gearbox, you would need a cop deadset on giving you a canary to even notice

Now with a 138 in it that would be a drum brake front end would it not? Brakes may be an issue, Not sure if it is, But I would definately look into a disc conversion.

in qld u need a mod cert for a 202 in an lc cause they didnt come out with one, doesnt matter that theyre basically identical to lj. gearbox u will def need one too. get them all done at the same time, first one usually costs about $80, then $20 for each one after that, and get them all on the same plate otherwise your engine bay starts to get messy
