i am.i heard u can't do engine conversions without engineers now.

 

And being a P-plater you technically can't do ANY mods which improve engine performance....this would include fitting twin-cam head.

 

Lots of rumours flying around the moment about the new NSW engineering rules, I suggest you take a long hard look at the RTA website rather than relying on your best mate's brother's mechanic's uncle heard down at the corner store. Or better yet, actually ring up an engineer and ask them what does and doesn't require a certificate.

just a heads up everyone could stop having a go at him and answer the question hence solving all problems and this thread can be used next time someone asks!

 

 

In case you haven't noticed, we have already provided the solution - contact the relevant authorities and find out exactly what is and isn't legal. Considering the state of affairs with the NSW engineering system at the moment, you can't assume that what someone posts on the internet will be 100% accurate.

a guide to driving a modified car on your p plates -

 

-No you can't change engine AT ALL (unless it was a factory option), focus on ensuring that the stnadard engine is in good condition, consider light modifications such as exhaust, carburettion upgrades, port head, new camshaft. these will fly under the radar of a cop.

-no you can't add a turbo to the standard engine, or a supercharger, or nos.

-no you can't add any mods that require a modification plate/certifiacation (pretty much everything).

-focus your attention on suspension and brake modifications, not changing them, but getting them into good condition, lowered springs,sway bars, new bushes and good shocks with good discs, pads and fluid in a corolla, and you will out handle anything.

-also focus your attention on a good set of light weight wheels, and buy the most expensive tyres you can afford.

-don't drive like a muppet, and if you do get pulled over don't act like a muppet.

 

if you do the above to your ae71, you will probably be faster than a 4age half assed finished ae71s out there.
