people get so worried about the insurance company, emissions, and cops finding out about your swap.
ive taken emissions i drove straight in they tested my gas cap. scan my inside door. then they put me up on a dyno and took my car to about 25 mph. before the dyno they wanted to plug somthing into my cig lighter but it dont work so they popped my hood and hooked it up to my battery. he didnt know anything was diff either did his boss who cam over and looked at my engine. another time when i was being arrested for illegal racing, the cop was asking questions about my car and someone told him i had a new motor put in. the cop asks me why i did it and what for i told him i had high mileage and my old motor was going bad. cops, emissions people, insurance companys are not certified toyota mechanics people. they have no ****ing clue whats going to be under the engine, most dont know what the hell a turbo is. for god sakes the guy who gave me my emission test, his first name was the same as his last name! how would he know im suppose to have a 5sfe? |
