Re: Mark 2 Import Insurance?

This has been discussed before.... Toyota never released a GT TBAR TURBO, ever , so no log book should say this. Nathax your log book is correct as per Toyota. Contact them if you wish, i did last time. I think the insurance company should have a tick box asking if the veichle is turbocharged or n/...

As a car buyer, how am i to know the car should be registered with an engine component description attached when so many standard UK cars don't? Give it ...

Re: Mark 2 Import Insurance?

What if the DVLA registered the car in the UK as a GT TBAR when it's a GT TURBO TBAR? Not my fault, it's how i brought it and it is a GT TBAR, the word turbo doesn't appear on every turbo logbook i'm sure. Had an Audi A3 1.9 TDI which just read Audi 1.9 Diesel. Ignorance is bliss :lol: It is the ca...

I dont know why you think I am angry, I am only interested in technical content. The greddy copy would improve matters but you would be better off with the stock intercooler and water injection, 50/50 mix would increase octane too!, double win! how much would it cost to set up a water injection kit...
