engine size

hi im having a few problems getting insurance on a rx reason being the engine size .im getting a 1992 type r which i thought was 2.6 but the insurance company says the the model they have on the screens is 2.354 turbo coupe rx7 import .im hoping there model is correct as got a good quote from them what do you people think thanks

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
