[brassallslide86]

hey im on my red p,s wondering if it would be legal for me to drive an 84 ae86 with a conversion from 4ac to 4agze posibly 20v

[Hen may possibly be a nut]

1 - What state do you live in?
2 - Ring your local roads authority and ask. Or look on their website.
3 - Most likely no.

In Tassie, no restrictions as far as I know.

red p's wont be able to drive GZE, 20v depends on how clean the install is to lookfactory, if you get an engineer cert/modplate your not supposed to be driving it, jdm ae86 is legal for 4age/20v

Just do it.

defs will get done for gze.

for P platers in NSW and QLD it is illegal to have an engine conversion unless it was a factory option (ie JDM AE86 came out with a 16v, ADM AE86 is still an 86. so it was a factory option). ae71s are a different story again...

20v in a 86 is fine in nsw, i never had any troubles

as long as u dont exceed stock engine capacity (keep it some kind of n/a 4age /fe) you will be fine

20v in an 86 is fine, but not P plate legal. still can get away with it. but it only takes 1 cop to hve half a brain.

it really does need to be engineered...

I have found that in NSW its a really grey area at least. I have spoken to the RTA and some say I cant be done for having a 16v in my AE71 as its still just a 1.6L. Other people at the RTA have told me that the car will not be legal for me to drive. The rules surrounding this are not even close to be being clearly defined, as such though my corolla isn't engineered and wont be. But the engine number will be put onto the rego so that its legit, and anybody looking at my engine bay wouldn't realise that the engine isn't standard anyway unless they look at the plate which says 4A-C.

but has to be a factory option in this country to be exact, i been through this too many times with cops as im under the law
