And that's where I consider you wrong. I can take my 7th gen Celica GT down to the dealership and drop in a 2ZZ motor and not even have to make a trip to the state ref, because of the first part of the law that you pointed out. It does not need to be ref approved.

Now, I'm reading what you wrote a little more closely... And what you wrote is indeed, retarded. Firstly, the 92 Civic EX never came with a B16. In fact, no US model Civic had a B16 in it until the EM Si coupe came along.
Secondly, even if that Civic DID come with said B16, yes, you COULD swap that motor into the DX of which you speak, but it wouldn't be LEGAL without that BAR sticker.
Sorry, my honda knowledge is limited, poor example.

Now, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and assume that this little arguement is the simple result of your shitty reading comprehension skills, and thus, is a mere misunderstanding. With that said, I'm done here. Have a nice day.
Maybe, or maybe you're wrong. Since you seem to be that interested in it, lets see the vehicle code that supports your statement. Otherwise I'm just going to assume you're another jackass.
