im assuming ur from VIC as well, the new p plater laws am i right?
the law is ambiguious in modifying terms, beause you could buy one thats already modified and get away with it.
i have heaps of friends who bought their first car with manual transmission , n generally almost all of them bought it with the previous owner instaling some sort of thing on their engine in replacement to the stock parts. u see heaps of p platers driving with loud exhausts etc. yet they dont get pulled over as long as its not a cop magnet like a skyline or a muzzadore haha.
u should be alright with a B16, have no fear its not THAT much of an improvement in performance but in our honda loving view, its one of the most favourite engines.
i got a quote from just-car insurance for third party including fire and theft, and i told them i had a integra type r engine inside, my per anum is only about $503. you should be alright, not too sure about comprehensive but ive only had my license for about 1 and a bit months LOLS.
im PRETTY sure u can still get a car rego'd with mods under your name as a P-plater. not like the fuzz is going to notice a civic is souped up unless ur full thrasing it where their hiding on highways.
b16's pretty good, engine conversion less than 5 grand at some good places if ur not doing it yourself.
im gunna do a full conversion when i have the money saved up, b18c for about 5 and a bit thousand inc engineers cert etc.
just be carefull what bolt ons u plan to put on when u start playing with your new engine, like sorta remember to box up the air filter so if they come n pull u over, it will be fine.
got a friend on his red p's for about 8 months now, had no problem with cops, and his is a 1.8L turbo audi.... the fluttering noise you can hear pretty well.
all the best on ur hopes could always go for d15b vtec haha :P
