Hey guys, i'm what you might call new here (this being my first post) but i plan to hang around.
Basically i was hoping you guys could gimme the low-down, (or the high-up if u like..) on getting road worthys for engine conversions.
the plan is i have in my possession an ST165 celica with an alright 3S-FE motor in it which i'm planning on converting to a 3S-GTE in the near future, however before i do i want to make sure i get my facts straight. So here's the question you've all been waiting for... what will i need to do to make my conversion "legal".
Any help/comments/tips/experience would be grreatly appreciated.

youll find you have a 162 st model, the sx has the 3sge and the 165 has the 3sgte .... legaly there isnt alot to it , the 3sgte will bolt into your car , you can use your box(not that it will last to long) , and mod plates are piece of piss for it , legaly i think your supost to have a front brake upgrade but the 162 brakes arent to shaby so they get passed send me a pm as ive completed the conversion in brisbane

yeah QLD transport don't care much about what has happened in there is a mod plate stating it has been certified (which is what they are for). So get a mod plate for it and you should be fine
