    Take note of how many TA22 / RA23 / RA28 V8 powered Celicas there are on this forum in NSW.

    The compare that to the number of people who wish They could V8 power their celica.

    There is a reason for that.

    Cheers

    bring ooon the NCOP
    RA2 = 1050-1100? heck, anything more than 999kg will be able to have a 1UZ with the NCOP
    (ie, not AE86, not any KEcorolla....)

    (edit, still interested to find out which engineer it is .. from this list http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registrati...4_nov_2008.pdf)

    Hmmm, he isnt on that list... I didn't ask him if he was an RTA approved engineer, could this guy be shitting me?

    If so, that's gay. Will ring tomorrow and suss out some more details. I dunno, he reckons he can engineer it he said, but i spose anyone can write up an "engineer report"

    Well considering 6 points cant be engineered and that has been that way for ages. So cops have cottoned on to the idea.

    Might want to tell Porsche & Mitsubishi that.

    There were a few Evo 8's (i think around 9) that had their paint slightly damaged when a boiler exploded on the ship they sailed in on. They now have full 6 point cages (front half is bolt in though), 25mm lowered Koni Suspension & were sold with TMR badges by Ralliart.
    If in doubt power out

    There is a reason for that.

    Cheers
    Yes, the reason is a V8 old school Celica is gay. It is nose heavy and handles like a brick, plus you can get more power out of a worked 1JZ, which would provide better handling characteristics.

    Umm, yeah... he could be shitting you, or he does not know the regulations.

    In either case, I am not sure what the insurance company would say if you had a bingle in a car that is signed-off as legal when actually it is not legal.

    Didn't Ferrari make a small V8... but I think it was 3litres... and not sure of the power it produced.

    Plenty of old European V8's that are 3L & under but they would still be quite expensive & so would the parts to build a decent one.
