Leave the engine stock. Put your money into good tuning (Dyno tune and Electronic ignition is essential) and a bigger exhaust. A Breathing engine is a better engine. p.s. bigger doesn't have to be noisier. Just make sure your mechanic knows that you're looking for better performance, not a way of drowning out the radio or wrecking your ears on a long daily trip.

Yeah I'm in the east. Have been a few booze buses and number plate recognitions around but havent seen any hardcore crackdowns on hoons yet...
Those bloody number plate recgnitions are terrible though, they absolutely clog up the roads, a great idea and I support them getting cars off the road but if you get stuck in one I hope ur not in a hurry!! Haha

Can do depending on the copper and situation...
If you're just pulled over I would think not but theyre cracking down on hoon laws. Sydney policmen set up a wharehouse less than 1km down the road from a number plate recognition and booze bus which all modded cars or cars that failed some ie. Bald tyres, too loud etc. They would be police escorted to the warehouse and checked further including full engine chassis number checks, rego license. I THINK they may of even had a full car jack so they could do walk overs of the cars. Lot of money would've gone into that operation.

Yea back when I was on P's i swear the P stood for please pull me over
If a cop just poped the bonnet and had a look surely they wouldnt notice
A12s and A14s look so similar other than the stamping.
If your on Ps east coast and pulled over do they actually check engine numbers?

I just looked, you're from WA lol. I didn't even look and assumed you were from America or something :S haha. Whoops. Eitherway doing engine mods here is hard with the cops. I'm in melb and get looked at constantly, haven't been pulled over yet though touch wood. (probably due to the L plates, the tend to leave us alone...) but you wait as soon as there is a set of p plates being displayed I'll be looked at all the time!!

We don't have yearly inspections, however we do need to display P plates (probationary license) therefore making us the epitomy of ordinariness in the driving community (according the law, statistics and well everyone else...) thus making all p plate cars absolute cop magnets.
Coppers are checking cars more closely and having massive crackdowns throughout Aus, especially Melbourne and Sydney.
If we're caught with a modded engine, then it's an instant defect and big fines for the driver, then it's back to square one, the little old A12! Then all of that work building an A14/15 is money down the drain as you'll never get it back trying to onsell it...(don't quote me on those laws either...)

I forgot you guys have yearly inspections over there. Here if it's licensed I don't see how they would know
