you can get a form from the post office to get a V5
even if you dont know who the previous owner is - u apply for the V5 and they write to the last registered owner and ask if they still have the car or not
I think as long as the new engine number is entered on your log book its all ok. The emissions is done by the engine that goes into the car. Eg. you dont need a cat on a Clio gtt due to the engine coming from a pre 92 car. (as already mentioned.) Didnt know you needed the R5 V5, you just need to update the clio V5.
Not 100% on this.
So I would have to declare to the DVLA that Ive had the conversion - this could result in the need for an SVA test though?
Then of course it would HAVE to be declared to insurance strait away as it would show on records.
(Before any one roasts me I was gonna get it done then shop around to find another insurance co as mine probably wont take to a mod like that)
It should all tie in with when my ncb comes up!
Vix - not sure that would work, i havnt done it myself yet but im not sure if you can use a v5 with the wrong engine as i think the engine number is on the logbook?
Im 100% sure on the cat though, as long as you have the gtt lump, the car is testing based on having a gtt engine therefore no cat needed.
It will all become clear when i go to do all this in a week or so, ive gotta tranfer a reg plate, register an engine change and update the logbook all at one time!! The mind boggles!

hehe daddys girl hey??
I dont think i could justify saying to my dad turbo my clio...pretty please with sugar on top??? Naah definatly not gonna happen!
Theres too many people thinking about gtt conversions now! its not gonna be an elite group if so many people have them! Well all have to meet up down southers when theyr done.
Whens yours out vix?
i bought my car from a garage and they didnt have the last owner on the V5, but said its not always possible to get in contact with the owner so you can just sign it and leave their bit blank... i thought this sounded dodgy, but they said its surprising how many people dont know this. So I sent it off and about a week later I had all my new documents, no problems whatsoever. If you get the form, just fill it in and mail it off, you dont need the last owners signiture at all. Dont inform them of the conversion either, I dont think the DVLA are interested in what it is for, could be to go in a track day car for all they know.

Cool hey hehe!! urm my dad lol!!
yeah very true
Nah i wanna get a dump valve
will probably be going but doubt my car will be ready but we will see
hehehe!!!
Oooh quality, your cutting costs then! Dump valves are good for a while for novelty value, i must admit im gonna run mine with one for a while but i dont particularly like them.
Somebodys got a surprise planned for National day then!
yeah exactly everything can then be spunked on the engine and the bodywork hehe!!
yeah i admit that just got to at teh moment and then i might get bored and change it but gonna start off with a baileys
well i dunno im hoping the car wil be ready but depends if anything decides to go wrong
hopefully not!! heheVix
Things always go wrong! My cam has been the part slowing down mine at the moment. Its a piper 285 and they reckon they are really busy at the moment because of the show season coming up. Fair enough though..just annoying.
Bollox to bodywork i cant be bothered with it, mine looks alright...nothing amazing but its a car thats being built to be driven, thats the way i look at it!
Its all about keeping it smooth and with plenty of power...Nicks being a prime example..which is probably why its my desktop background at the mo!!
