How do I tell what model i\'ve got?

Bar staff indeed! Oohh that makes me mad! Surely that means your insurance is more as well? Or do they appreciate it is only really a 1300cc?! I was looking forward to cheaper road tax compared to my gtr! No such luck there then! Mo fo\'s!

insurance dont recongise it as \'only\' a 1300cc unfotunately.
Its funny when I had mine one ebay recently, you could tell that all the messages asking about insurance on it were from 17 y/o\'s looking for their first car, thinking that because its only a 1300cc, means they can get insured on it LOL !!

hamc.. Do the frame numbers in the link you posted refer to some numbers I might find on my car? if so then I guess a JFA number is type R2 and JFE would be type R?
Anyone got any ideas on this?

I enquired a while ago on one and as a second car on a new policy it was half the price of my gtr.. but then I guess the car is also worth a hell of a lot less! What do most people pay.. around £500? Sorry the post seems to be wondering a little off topic!

Well, are all the RXs coming with the \'Special Edition\' on the label:confused:

there is a few people on here that have got there log book changed by dvla from 2.6 to 1.3. maybe worth asking around

That is exactly what I was going to ask! Dam cheek other wise.. I will investigate that and then I can correct the model on mine as well!

Myn came in last year fresh import and was registered as a 1.3 so i think its down to the person who registers the car.:xconfused

If you get an engineers report (ie a rotary specialist) then they\'ll change it to 1300cc
 
If you\'re willing to force the issue I don\'t think they\'d legally be able to refuse - otherwise by the same logic all 2-stroke motorcycles would have to be registered as twice their actual displacement :Nono!

Here here!!

I am gonna get that sorted! the dam government get enough of my money as it is! bloomin stitch up! I checked mine and it is actually down as 2800cc!! what fool filled that out!
So what cc should I be going for it\'s not exactly 1300cc is it? strictly it should be 1308cc (654cc x 2) right?

Cheers
