Peachy says HI HI, some n00b questions

[Red_EG4]

a guy i know replaced his sohc vti (ej8) to a b16 without an eng. cert.
he went to vicroads and just submit a form to replace engine number and done.

how does that work?

was he on P plates?
If you're off P plates it comes down to displacement IIRC.

Just called Vic roads and spoke with someone who told me that following is illegal for Green P platers:
Questiarinos:
1. Weight of a Honda Civic EG BReeze 1992? Or just approx weight of a EG hatchback?
2. In the second quote above from vicraods it states "Replacement engine is not of a type offered by the vehicle manufacturer as an option for that vehicle or where alterations, or changes to the vehicle's frame or structure are made, and/or specially fabricated supports or structures are used" - Is this required when doing an engine transplant for a b16a?

Great to see someone actually call up instead of just going on here say.
Well as usual the laws sound very ridiculous in my opinion.

Doesn't your rego label give you a figure for the weight?
Putting a B16A in doesn't require any structural customisation. Uses standard engine mounting points.

When did you get your P's Ben?
