who wants to chop off the engine number of an old 1.6 engine for me?
Anyone have an old 1.6 engine lying around that they want to chop a piece of?
I'm looking for the part on the passenger side of the engine that has the engine number stamped in it. It's the yellow-ish scraped piece in this picture. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1.../engnum2-1.jpg Anyone want to chop that of an old engine for me? |
...why?

He's from Belgium so I'm going to guess there's some kinda weird laws over there that are making this piece desirable to him....? Or he could just be half-retarded :dunno:

stolen miata engine ftw! thats something new :)
|
If Belgium is like the UK, you pay taxes based on displacement.

Yeah, what's the deal? |
Very easy, you pay taxes on displacement. The bigger the engine, the more you pay... He wants to fool the garage by telling it's a 1.6 instead of 1.8.
Driving a car in europe is way more expensive. Right now 1 liter of gass will cost 1.65 euro... ($2.50....) 1 gallon will be $9.45. (regular 92 octane) Above that we need to pay taxes just to drive... 50 euro/month...(goes on weight) 851-950kg =50 euro Thats why most miata's sold in The netherlands (89-93) don't have airco/ps/electric mirrors/abs The miata weighs exactly 950... Of course we need insurrance... |

oh yeah, this sounds like a great fucking idea. Do you want my bank account and social security info too?
|
I'm sure you have a better solution?
|
there's a lot of hate in here.
|
He's just pissed off about belguim government rules...
Last thing i have heard(4years ago) was that a car must remain stock. Even upgrading to koni's is illegal unless you weld then so they are not adjustable... Even steel brakelines are illegal... |
Maybe I'm just being cynical, but this sounds bad. To me it sounds like he needs a legit engine VIN because his isnt.
