Heavier car = More costly rego??

[philip_pc]

just recently upgraded from a FD1 civic to CU2 Euro and noticed the rego costs more. I searched up the RTA website and it looks the par but just want to confirm this with others?

Is this true?

So can you just strip certain parts of the car, get it weighed, and have your rego adjusted? Because I know in VIC they never seem to get the weights right on your rego sticker lol
