ca18ae71 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Posted October 7, 2009 got some pics of the donor motor , fully rebuit 2t-g :D
LittleRedSpirit Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 That looks clean, Phil! Should be a pretty fun vehicle! I have one question. What year is the motor made? I think you may have rego trouble if the motor is older than the shell? I'm not sure exactly but it would be wise to check.
ca18ae71 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Posted October 7, 2009 yeah I'm not sure what the go is there with mod or cert plates , if any one knows it would be helpful, its out of a 1973 ta22 gt
LittleRedSpirit Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) yeah I'm not sure what the go is there with mod or cert plates , if any one knows it would be helpful, its out of a 1973 ta22 gt Maybe you should ring Rod (curly is his username). He has approval to mod plate many things, and would have first hand knowledge. Edited October 8, 2009 by LittleRedSpirit
orangeLJ Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 usually the older motor in a newer car applies if there were changes in pollution regulations. If you use the older motor in a newer car, the motor has to comply with the pollution regulations corresponding to the vehicles compliance date. Shit thing is, it doesnt work the other way (new motor still has to comply with pollution laws of today, even if going in a 30 year old car) There are a few ways to get around it (none really legal) but yeah, you might have a bit of trouble doing it totally legit.
