Grifty - Yes

Key - Yes. It's not like you're being sent to the pits to be checked. Most of the people on that list will just be registered engineers at workshops around Vic. What's done to your car? If it's relatively stock it'll be fine. If you're unsure call one of them up and ask what's involved.

I'm up in Bris but when I went to get my car mod plated the engineer saw that I'd taken the air con out and said that with a nice big gap like that I should strap a snail onto it

They aren't a bunch of hardasses. They're just like your average mechanic.

I got Tein coilover, CAI, front sturt bar. Is that too much-~-? the engine is stock

it'll be fine. Even if they were a hardass, they'd only care about is emissions as you're going in for engine conversion engineering

So if I drop at B18C7 in my Honda Civic Si, can I drive around with it having no engineer cert yet and not reg? What happens if I run into the cops?

If you drive around with an unregistered car prepare to have the car impounded, cop a massive fine and enough points to probably lose your license if caught.

Driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle is also an offence attracting on the spot infringement notice fines of at least $972 ($486 for being unregistered and $486 for being uninsured). If the matter goes to court, the maximum fine is $2200 for driving unregistered and $5500 for driving uninsured.

Why not just rego it with stock engine and then drop the B18C7 into it, then next time pink slip is due u would of have saved up enough for an engineers cert.

Having an engine in a car that is registered with another engine will have you ending up with the same penalty if found out by the authorities. It's got nothing to do with rego renewal. You're meant to notify the department of transport as soon as the engine is swapped.

It doesn't matter if it excedes the 1.5 it's based on the model which means any EG is based on 1.6L and 15% above that ..

Read it properly its the same with wheels .. If a base model has 15s but the top model had 18" you on your base model can go up to 21" legally ..

You need to understand and read the laws properly ..

B20 or above including k swap need cert ..

B16 B18 are fine for any eg including the 1.3carby and should just need a blue slip cleared ..
