Cops won't be able to tell the difference between an A12 and an A15 lol. Just grind # off the A12, then stamp them onto the A15 :P Only aesthetic difference is that the blocks like 25mm taller.

Sounds like they don't check and don't bother to enforce the law. That happens here too. They say if you speed 5 mph over the limit that no ticket will be given.

exactly which is basically an A14 (1397cc), they let you get away with an A14, but anything above an A14 needs to be engineered...

A12 is 1171cc. 15% increase is 1347 cc.
But governments don't operate on facts, rather on laws.

Well 15% is 1380cc on A12 so your Arithmetic is a bit out .. What I am saying, if the car was registered before all these laws come out with a A15 , you should be right. And A14's have different mounts, so that s structural ?

here it is:
Examples of minor (owner certified) modifications are: Engine changes where the capacity increase is less than 15% above the maximum size engine available for the vehicle (providing no major structural modifications are necessary and where noise and/or exhaust emission ADRs apply, all standard equipment such as carburettors, exhaust systems, exhaust gas recirculating valves, oxygen sensors and catalytic convertors relating to noise and emission control are retained and operate correctly). The fitting of a proprietary sunroof (if the modifications are of a minor nature only). Fitting a ‘package’ available as optional equipment for the vehicle (eg front disc brakes, power steering, alternative transmission and bucket or bench seats). Additional lighting eg fog & driving lights. Alternative wheels and tyres within the owner certified limits set by the Authority (see Vehicle Standards Information Sheet No. 9 Guidelines for alternative wheels & tyres). Fitting of handling enhancing suspension components such as roll stabiliser bars and up-rated shock absorbers. Major modifications which fall outside the category of minor (owner certified) modifications require submission of certification by an RTA recognised engineering signatory. This is usually in the form of an Engineering certificate prepared by the signatory.
