Strictly speaking it is illegal. See: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/manuals/registration/lvm/lvm31p5.htm "The weight of the vehicle referred to in the table is the original (unmodified) "tare" weight of the model vehicle fitted with the largest engine available for the model but without optional accessories (air conditioning, tow bars etc). The weight of the vehicle whether it is a sedan, station wagon, utility etc, should be based on the heaviest sedan version of the model (not station wagon version)."

Guys, Just a thought on under weight cars. Some time ago I spoke with a guy who put a turbo rotor (12a or 13b - I can't remember now)into a KE20 Corolla. He too had problems with weight - the car was too light. To overcome this problem, he added a heap of weight to the car (lumps of lead) and took it to a public weigh bridge to get an "accurate" weight. Of course the weight was heavy enough to allow the engine transplant to be approved, and his rego papers now show the weight of the car as it was when he put it on the weigh bridge. Needless to say - the lead no longer resides in the car. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
