But a more powerful engine? That's going to need some special testing - a guy I know put a 2.5l Alfa in a chassis which was originally only a 1750 - he ended up paying a garage something in the order of 7K to put the car through the MFK.
The same engine, as originally fitted to that car is no big deal (They just report that in the car's papers. Similarly a different engine, but one which was originally available for that chassis.
Wow... So he did the so called "Homolgation" then?
What a shame, it was a cool idea to buy an old Honda and do an engine swap
An oxymoron if I ever heard one.
I had a "Ho da" before they became classic.
The legendary 81 Civic?
It really depends on the "expert" (why are they called expert?) doing the mfk.
If everything's done nicely and looks safe, and the guy likes your car and/or has a nice day, you'll pass. If not, try a different mfk location haha.
My dad has an engine swapped beetle and he passed, but probably only because the expert had a beetle himself
This is very much true.
Also depends on the canton.
