GT Turbo down as 1.3 on log book

[JerryMcCarthy]

My GT Turbo is down on log book as 1.3(import)... does this matter when bringing it to NCT or what ??
thanks

alot of them are just classed as a 1.3 import on the logbook. im in the uk so cant comment on the nct, but it causes no problems in the uk.

you can always send it away to be ammended. i did it when the dvla got my name wrong. i sent it back with the details of the car ammended as well

thanks dac69er.. hope it wont be a problem

if its for the emissions you are worried about they have the same values as for a uk spec starlet and it wouldnt make any difference really as long as its insured correctly

Wont matter for the nct, but dont be fooled that insurance company dosent know it a turbo!!

could u pull off insuring a glanza as a non-turbo in the UK?

why would you bother and invalidate your insurance.

im not sure just heard of people doing it

 

[Nwimie]

its because they cant afford insurance for a turbo, but infact if its down on the log book or insured as a non turbo they might aswell not have insurance atal.

 

[lewism1]

yeah.. i thought it could be pulled off because it only went down on the logbook as a starlet 1.3?? not sure if this is true though...?

 

[JerryMcCarthy]

im insured as a 1.3 starlet import ???? this wont affect it will it?

If you have a V insure it as a V.
If you have a GT insure it as a GT.

Just follow that guide

Do not put the reg in and take that as gospal. Mine for example if you put the reg in for a quote it's listed as a UK 1.3 n/a but on the log book and on the insurance its down as a GT Turbo.

So long as the insurance matches your car and its modifications its happy driving

What if you re shell a GT turbo into a N/A 1.0L shell but replace every nut and bolt with EP82 ? can you change the log book and would it ever be classed as a proper GT ?

Yes you change change the logbook to suit. Thats how 2.0 Corsa's etc get updated correctly and insured correctly.
