Road Tax

[mr.bishi]

I\'ve done a search as i figured it would be a popular question but couldn\'t find it. (although i do suck at searching:Giggle )

How do i go about getting my logbook changed from 2292 to 1146cc? Is it as simple as filling in the correct cc or is there more to it.....My tax is due soon.

give pip at WGT ot TIM at RXMotors i belive they can confirm the cc (for a small fee) and this will do when you send off the revised log book

Nice......:cool

[David Nock (RIP)]

Are you saying you can reduce your road tax by changing the log book (V5) to the correct cc instead of the government rated cc?
I\'d no idea you could do this.

[mpk490p]

only with a rotary

[David Nock (RIP)]

What\'s the background to this? Has anyone done it? 12A rotary? Registered pre CO2 regime at 2292cc, whereas actual swept vol is 1146 or so.
Thanks in anticipation.

I did a search and it all seems shrouded in mystery still as some threads contradict others,some say the dvla have got wise,some say they\'ve done it,some say they\'ve been refused,so it would be most helpfull if you could either say yay or nay rather than saying do a search :cool

Also the doubling the capacity thing confuses me......why is it 573 x 2 x 2? Isn\'t there 3 firing strokes per revolution of the eccentric shaft? So shouldn\'t it be 573 x 3 x 2?

Or am i talking ar5e?

my rx7\'s have always been registered as 1.3cc, ive always understood it as that, from what i have read or heard if you change it and the DVLA question it just get a reputable rotary garage to verify it
it cant help to try?

I\'m wanting to do the tax thing this year too.  I will ask Tim at Rxmotors & let you know what he says.

[mr.bishi]

It definately can\'t hurt to try no,it\'s just another thing the motorist is getting ripped off with:2Rolleyes

I wrote to the DVLA and regarding this issue and got a reply stating that the enquiry would be passed to the appropriate department, and I would receive a reponse in due course.

That was when I still had my 1982 RX7 over a year ago, I guess they lost the e-mail.

It never occurred to me to go to a rotary specialist and get some kind of authentication from them. Seems like the best suggestion to me.

By the way, not wishing to hijack the thread, but if anyone knows of a Gen 1 RX7 going cheap in the South East drop me a PM as I miss mine (I\'m sure I could squeeze two child seats in the back of an RX7!).:Thumbs-up

Check out ebay at the moment mate,there seems to be an influx of Gen1\'s at the mo,just wish I had enough space to buy em all!!:Santa

Yeah, have been tempted by a couple of them so far. Am also looking to get a MIG welder in the next couple of weeks (Civic arches need doing!), so perhaps once I have got the hang of that I shall get my hands on a project.

Wish I hadn\'t sold my RX7 last year, but had a bit of a reality check - it was too good to mess about with (I really want to create a track/sprint car doing all the work myself), and wasn\'t getting used enough!
