that displacement figure sounds more like the 2nd Gen TII to me. My TII is rated as 2354CC by the DVLA. problem is that the Gen 3 and Gen 2 were sold in \'92 but if memory serves the Gen 3 was not officially sold here until \'93. Have another go with the insurer

Insurance companys mostly class rx-7\'s (3rd gen) as a 2.6

yeah i told them first it was a 2.6 but they said they did not have 92 cars as 2.6 but a p reg one is 2.6 on there screens

also the car im having is reistered as a 1.3 no insurance companys register this as you probaly know so if you got insurance say as a 2.6 come the time to get tax what happens your mot is gonna say either 2.6 or 1.3 dvla document saying 1.3 but insurance saying 2.6 so would they isure a tax disc with the engine not corresponding on all documents

all i wanna do is drive the car lol

Your Insurance cert states the reg so its not a problem getting tax
