Chuck what year model is yours? Tare weight changes significantly with year on the swb

[9triton]

This, you are just a retired copper who doesn't know shit about cars (basically all cops) if anyone asks But you thought the exhaust sounded good for a 1.6L

i always understood that excoopers , when pulled over , start with ,

'you know i used to do this for a job too'

' on your way sir'

[ALLMTR]

Register it with the 1.6 and forget to change details.

All good options til you hurt someone in a crash

Spoke with my mate who helped at the start and he is going to come grab it and finish it

Fuck yeah!

[chartreusehj]

how far out of capacity are you?

Jan 1989

how far out of capacity are you?

1040 x 4.0 so a fair distance

[chartreusehj]

bugger.

[Fraud]

Is this a NSW thing or an ncop thing or both? Reading ncop a month or two ago, to me it seemed pretty clear that commercial vehicles didn't have capacity/weight guidelines.

Sucks though: (

Both can put one in a 1994 swb. The magic number for LS1 is 1140kg.

That's the way we read it

Now google "vsb14", open the engine PDF, page 3, paragraph 3....

I can't seem to copy and paste here

hightlight and use Ctrl C chuck

Table LA1 now applies to all categories that require
certification under this Section of VSB 14.

2.13 ENGINE CAPACITY
For certification purposes under Codes LA1, LA2, LA3 and LA4, the recommended maximum
capacity (swept volume) of engines for passenger cars and passenger car derivatives is outlined in
Table LA1 below. An engine may not be a suitable replacement even if its capacity falls within the
limits specified in Table LA1. Owners are therefore advised to check details of a proposed engine
conversion with an engineering signatory prior to commencing any work.
Table LA2 provides examples as to how the maximum engine capacity is determined.
The maximum engine capacity for rotary engines is calculated by multiplying the swept volume of
all rotors by two (e.g. a 13B rotary engine has a swept volume of 1308 cc resulting in a calculated
maximum capacity of 2616 cc). Table LA3 provides examples of how the engine capacity of rotary
engines is determined.
Table LA1 does not apply to commercial (ADR Category NA and NB1) or four wheel drive off-road
(ADR category MC) type vehicles such as commercial vans, light trucks, small buses, etc. for
which there are no set recommended limits

"Recommended"

Example: '69 427ci COPO Camaro... at it's weight of just under 3000lb, but we'll call it that, so 1360kg. 1360 x 5 = 6800cc, which is 415ci.

Catch my drift?

There's people running 600+ci motors in them, engineered, registered. Go get a new engineer.

What does the 1994 SWB weight?

I've bolded the important bit. It was an amendment and overrides the bit you bolded

"Recommended"

"Recommended" and "guidelines" are only used in place of "rules" as they are not rules passed by parliament (happy to be corrected on this as it's just what I've been told) They are NOT open to individual interpretation (again only what I've been told)

If you were an engineer, who owned a house, car etc would you work outside of the "guidelines"?

[Ke26 Wagon]

so the 13bt 900kg ke26 corolla that we just got engineered shouldnt have been.
