na tt

Hi people im currently saving for the na tt conversion to do in jan at kerons but i've got a few questions on it if anyone can help???

When you do the conversion what do you insure it as a TT or an NA with engine mods an does the price go up much??

And do i have to change my v5 document to class it as a TT as thats what it basically is for the mot.

any answers will be greatly appreciated cheers

1) You need to tell your insurance company it has a turbo engine installed. It'll be classified as an engine swap but most specalist companies will just insure it under the same guidelines they use for the TT. Some will refuse point blank, however those that accept it tend to charge a little more than what it'd cost for a standard TT, but in my experience, it's not a lot more. That said, Sky Insurance didn't make any difference between TT and NA-TT quotes on my car.

2) There's no need to tell DVLA about the change. The engine displacement is the same, most supra's are listed in the V5 as "Supra", regardless of being a TT or NA. There's no exact science behind the naming convention anyway. Theimportant bit is telling your insurance company of course

I would get a quote FIRST before committing, as some may refuse to insure the "modification". How old are you, where in Cheshire do you live?

You MUST tell an Insurance Co that you have TT'd the car.

All modifications need to be divulged to an insurance company. In my limited experience "modifications", especially radical ones like an engine change to one with a lot more horsepower will attract far greater premiums than a car with the same horsepower originating from the factory that made it. The V5 will need the engine number changing, but as far as I know the taxation class, which is all a UK registration document is really based upon, will stay the same, as it still is PLG, with a limited seating capacity, the same engine capacity, and the same fuel, and the same year of manufacture.

Just to pick up on the engine number, do these actually get listed on the V5 now? None of mine have it.

Agree with ther rest though, on my V5 there's no distinction pointing out whether it has a TT or NA engine.

Elephant will not insure you on an NA-TT swap. It'll go something like this:

Elephant: Model type

You: SZ

Elephant: Is that a NA model?

You: No, it's a TT

Elephant: That is not on our system, goodbye

26 mate in south wirral will have 3 years ncb by the time i get change. just done a quick quote for an rz came out 975 only about 100 more than im paying now. Hopefully the na tt wont be much more

lol better change at renewal time then if i do the swap

insurance would be straight forward for me if i was to do it. just renewed mine and every insurance site i put my reg in it came back as a 1997 TT

lol better change at renewal time then if i do the swap

Probably for the best if you want to keep that NCB year. At 26 and provided you don't live in a high crime area you should be able to get a decent quote from Sky.

unlike me

im already dreading the premiums and its not finished yet

yeah surely if i just register it as a tt on my insurance an if the worst came to the worst i had an accident then i've already declared to them its a tt. Or will that be abit dodgy hmmm.

my insurance went up by £100 once i got the NA-TT conversion, i'm with Adrian flux.

100 pounds now that would be great!!

NO- you must declare it as a converted vehicle from day one. If. it comes out in the wash, they have 100% grounds for not paying out. Some insurers will worm out of a payout for undeclared alloys

insurance will worm out of paying anyway in my experience,

I'm with Sky and my premium was again around the £100 - £150 mark (I forget the exact figure). Thats all BPU mods declared too.

yeah i declared all the extra mods too, like fmic, bov etc and it still only went up by £100.. good times

good good cant wait to be tt cheers guys

I am with Adrian Flux also and paid an extra £95 when Keron done my NA-TT a few weeks ago.
