You can't swap engines in Czech Republic

You want to make more power? Get an engineer.
You want to get bigger brakes? Get an engineer.
You want to put coilovers in? Get an engineer.
You want to change the wheels? Get an engineer.

>You want to change the wheels? Get an engineer.
Even if you just want to change tires?

Consumables like tires, fliters, fluids are fine. Literally everything else must be OEM spec or engineer certified.

>75% of EU member countries would literally turn into shitholes similar to drug infested Latin America countries.

Only southern and eastern state-... countries. Not that EU isn`t turning itself into a shithole, laws, or no laws.

Spain has never been a drug cartel run Mexico-like country before joining the EU. I have no idea what you are on about.

Dutchfag here, laws are fairly reasonable by yurop standards but GOD FUCKING DAMN EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE WHAT THE FUCK

I meant that every average or poor EU country without union would go bankrupt and be empty like Chernobyl.

insurance is expensive as hell
taxes are expensive as hell
fines are expensive as hell
but apart from that our laws are pretty okay
as in, shit like a misfiring system is legal as long as it doesn't produce more noise than 90 dB
that's pretty nice I guess, you can do a lot of shit legally

Yeah, you can get away with a lot and even do so legally as long as you're willing to pay up.

Fucking einzelabnahme desu

Chernobyl was a disaster you fucking mongrel stop speaking

>Chernobyl was a disaster
Do you even read my post? I said WITHOUT EUROPEAN UNION, all Euro countries would be empty just like Chernobyl after disaster. Average and poor euro countries would literally have falling apart economy.

>you can't work on your car unless you own a garage

Pretty sure this is repair shops colluding with the government

But that's bullshit, you are literally making stuff out of your ass. Iceland is not part of the EU and it's doing just fine.

in France you can, but you can't legally insure your car once its engine is swapped

Ireland, heres one of ours:

Cant insure cars over the age of 15, without having been insured on them before they turned that age.
You have to then wait until the car turns at least 20 before you can get classic insurance, but for this you also need a daily driver that is fully insured in your name and cannot use your "classic" as a daily.

This has basically killed any good 90's to early 2000's shitboxes here.

I dont think you should be posting on Veeky Forums in the middle of your meeting mr european minister.
Get back to work turning europe into somalia.

Can you put different but still OEM wheels on it? Like, if it had steelies could you put the optional alloys on it without getting an engineer's certificate?

>But that's bullshit, you are literally making stuff out of your ass
Then explain me where poorer countries would get money from?

>Iceland
>doing fine
How do you know?

>Then explain me where poorer countries would get money from?

By not having their own industry halved to protect the market of economically weaker countries, by not having to care about retarded EU regulations which benefit Germany more than anyone else.

>How do you know?

Iceland economy is well known to be a very stable one, and a success story of it's own. Anyone who actually knew anything about the topic would know.

How about a shitton of einzelabnahmen vs a fuckin expensive komplettabnahme?

>insurance is expensive and will cost more than your car

> insurance claim culture, very expensive premiums

>no more normal cars circa 2040 apparently

god save the queen, Veeky Forums.

here you can swap engines, at least in older cars with less strict emissions, but you are limited to increasing displacement by 25% and power by 20% (compared to the largest/most powerful car in the model series). this means that if you want to do an LS1 swap, you have to start with something like an S-class Mercedes or an American muscle car.

>Just drive the fucking car without telling anybody you've done an engine swap

Why so hard

This. My state doesn't have any of these bullshit laws, but whenever I read about states that do I wonder how anybody would even find out about that shit anyway. Do cops pop the hood when they pull you over?

Have fun explaining that no, that's totally what the stock engine looks like, to the guy inspecting your car every 1-2 years.

>mfw I found out it's illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey

swap the car around the engine instead. checkmate, government.

then you'd have a new car with a old/broken engine
um...

Retard alert

Theyd be better off without it. Only benefit they got was free movement and ability to work where you like. Otherwise the EU ruined the economies of Italy, Greece, Spain, you name them. Any country that isnt germany or france was ruined by the euro

Why the FUCK does that make sense to anyone

Oh my god, thats probably the shittest law Ive seen so far. Shit like this makes me despise beaurecracy

can you stop posting now before you educated yourself on the topic?

Just drive with a dashcam, be careful and dont buy insurance. The insurance Jew has you by the balls

hurrrr

25 year importation law

Spaniard here, the EU stole all of our car liberties with their War on Cars. Now we need to pay lots of taxes from everything, and you need to do a shitton of paperwork and pay lot of money to make most car modifications, you even need to report cosmetic changes like painting your car to your insurance and Technical Vehicle Inspection. And I'm not gonna talk about politics because we are not on /pol/, but the EU really fucked our economy, demographics, and national security.

Jesus. Thats why its so expensive then. People dont realise this well intended shit fucks people

>Spain
>not Mexico-tier

Ur just delusional

>Bulgaria

You can swap... But only if the replacement engine fits all of the below:
>same manufacturer
>same displacement
>same power
>same year or newer

People go around it by just not selling the car. Sometimes swapped cars are sold with a usage contract.

See Because Greece hasnt needed to be bailed out twice and is begging for a thirs, Italy hasnt gone to the dogs due to corrupt officials, high tax and the migrant crisis and isnt on the brink of economic collapse, and Spain hasnt been fucked by a recession that has lasted nearly 10 years. Id go on and post sources but your retard brain would either let it in one ear and out the other because hurr durr the EU is good or just shut it out completely as you scream autistically that the EU was a good thing that united europe. I reckon youd be the same kind of idiot who would consider a successful reich a united europe also. Its a totally failed experiment, and a way for unelected largely socialist officials and career politicians to exact their wills on countries they have no business telling what to do. Theyre like a shittier version if the UN because unfortunately, europe listens to them.

Im sure youre now dragging your Neanderthal-esque knuckles across your desk to type out a half-baked ad-hom reply in beastly, childish anger, which I by the way I will not be reading.

Fuck off back to the bank, Bernstein

>Can swap if its from the same manufacturer
I wonder if on technically you could sneak an LS into an Opel

The Kapitän, Admiral and Diplomat literally had a Chevy 327 option.

Because its a majority nordic country with little to no minorities. Also they fucked up parasitic banksters good.

Dutchfag, we're not allowed to drive drunk. The FUCK

I was thinking more along the lines of the last Omegas and create a Commodore Hoonmobile in Europe.
But I am too big of a poorfag to get my hands on an LS and our DMV are full of Lawfags with whom arguing is impossible
>NO, IT IS WRITTEN LIKE THAT AND SO IT IS AS SUCH
>But, you see, Opels are made in different factories, and the cars of different brands can also be made side by side. So I ask, what is a manufacturer? An assembly line, a factory, a brand? Or perhaps, it is the parent company of all? And Opel wanted to make a V8 anyway so basically LS is an Opel engi-
>NO, IT IS WRITTEN LIKE THAT AND SO IT IS AS SUCH

>If you want to import a used car, you must dimantle it first parts by parts at importer's country
>also add tax 300%

It'd probably be cheaper to just import a Commodore at that point. Sadly.

And it has to be same make and same year manufactured or newer, stupid as fuck

Land of the free here

Faggots always talk about the US being a shitty kike controlled country, but I and everyone here has the freedom to do almost anything as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others/endanger them.

lithuanian here, i hate the EU more than anything
i hate the politicians that ruin this country all of them are ex communist windowlicking drunk idiots. they ate up all the retarded propoganda about EU. yeah it was ok when they gave us some money but now its ugh oh! payback time goy. not even talking about how royally we been fucked energy wise because we had to close one of the most modern and safest nuclear plants in urop because a goy cant have energetic freedom, now we have to buy shit from russia and russia pays germany.
i hate i hate it i hate it. remove jEwU

I think in Croatia you can't do any kind of performance modification, but then again, who's gonna know? The car inspection guys only have a look under the hood like they even know what they are looking at, test your suspension, steering and brakes. Then they check if your power windows and other shit works inside (?). And even if they notice discrepancies, you can always bribe them.

si to ti, janez?

Fairly sure you cannot do an engine swap if the new engine has over 40% more power than the older one.

Man about a few months ago heard a radio debate. Some fella from the capital said "look how good the fellas in Hungary did. They banned old cars (>10 years or so can't remember) from entering certain cities unless you pay a tax that allows you to go with it for X ammount of time". God I hate public transport shills.

You can't swap engine either in France and a new law has been voted which will pass in 2018 :

> Cars built before 2000 will be almost forbidden on the streets

> You'll have to pass a check-up every 6 months for a car built before 2000, every 2 years after (composed of 450 different points and costing around 90 to 150€)

> Changing parts will become illegal and if you get caught your car gets confiscated + a salty fine

Which means you'll have to change parts at your constructor's garage and they have to change them, you can't do it on your own

My country is OK but I'm really thinking about moving out because of these laws

it's become hard time by time...........
don't forget you need to arrange the legality too

It's like that in Australia too
Wait, what? We only have to get it approved if the car didn't have that engine as an option. So swapping in higher trim/turbo engines requires no government approval.

might as well wait another few months for those cheap honhon shitboxes, you can come over if you want but please don't vote to make shit worse than it already is
>t. neighbor with slow af bureaucracy

>shit drivers
>kebabs roaming the streets
>these laws
Just run away

This sounds bad.

To develop on this, any imported car no matter the age has to pay taxes as if it was a new one, and on swaps you have to cover the tax for the displacement increase, again as a new car, adding to all the legalizing bullshit on swapping it. I think I even told the story once here, a friend of mine was building a Mitsubishi Colt Gti replica out of a 1.3, he gave up halfway because for the increase to a 1.8 they wanted him to pay, and brace yourselves because your body is not ready, 7500€. That's right, seventy five fucking hundred euros.

What about EV conversions?

>France bans/limits cars built before 2000
>Prices of cars built before 2000 will drop down like rock in France
>Even with the prices down, most of cars will be exported, because no one will buy them inside France
>tfw MASS export to eastern europe
Actually feels good, man. Finally I'll be able to buy good old shitboxes and comfy premiums for quite less cash.

>literally illegal to work on your own car
>no cars before the year 2000
It would be easy to make a "lol muh yurop" joke, but...

Damn. That's actually really sad. Sorry man.

You can't change your wheels to something bigger without asking for approval (and paying) in Portugal.

>You can't change your wheels to something bigger

Or smaller. Any tyre size not listed on the car's registration cannot go in, period. And having to get written permission from the fucking manufacturer for any extra size is the icing on it.

imported cars here are taxed to SHIT so they could "protect" and "encourage growth" of our national, totally not localized Mitsubishis that's half the quality and reliability with ridiculous pricing. it's been going on since the 80s which makes little sense to maintain it today

Its not really a "law".
Its the insurance companies acting rouge without the government regulating them.
