Iv noticed allot recently that people registering their Glanza's on the log book as non turbo's does this actually work or will you just be driving without insurance.
Thanks.

most dont say its a turbo on the logbook. the logbook doesnt really matter insurance wise anyway as long as you insure the car for what it actually is, then it doesnt matter

doing the 1.5 conversion also has the same affect! as your basically robbing the DVLA out of tax money! the cut off for the tax bracket that the starlet falls into is 1.4l if you change to a 1.5 you should go up a tax bracket I have also now seen that they will prosecute people for it as some one I know has just been done!! It has to go to court yet but they say they are charging him with fraud and tax evasion there saying its just the same as running your car on red diesel!!!! I wont go into it any more till I know the out come but get ready cos I believe there is going to be a BIG clamp down on it!

Yeahh I see, I just thought though as you go onto a comparison website and and type in the registration that's what your insuring but obviously could be classed as an undeclared mod.

Just so you know next tax bracket is at 1549cc or above. So changing to the 5e you will pay the same amount of road tax you do atm ;).

5E is 1497cc i think. However getting it changed on your log book is hard work. They will want a mechanics report with details of the conversion to have it updated and such unless you have a garage do the conversion for you.
