paulgtt Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 GT advanced is a rarer car but not much different to a "normal" GT, advance's have two tone paint and a couple of extra bits IIRC. Some have an LSD too.Insure the car for what it is, regardless of what the log book says. If you insure a Starlet GT as an n/a you may aswell not bother to insure it at all.

Amjad Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 IIRC = If I remember correctlyI reckon a stock-ish GT would get around the same mpg as an N/A, you don't have to work it as hard! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rinseep82 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 turbo charged cars are just as good on mpg as n/a if not better because the air that is goin into the engine is cleaner thus giving good economy unless your thrashing it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You will still get relatively good miles on the GT so long as it's stock ish.Regarding your log-book question - most GT's and Glanza's on log-book are registered as n/a's. But when coming to insure, be sure to insure it as a turbo, or else you're not covered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Advances tend to be rarer.Two tone body work is the only essential difference, all additional extras i.e LSD, recaro interior, sun roof etc etc are options..Its best to change the log book so it is correct, you MUST insure the GT correctly i.e. starlet GT turbo.. NOT starlet or starlet GI, n/a.You change it by sending the v5 document (registration document) with the correct information on it.If you cant afford to insure it correctly (which in your case, i dont know. But advice for anyone who is to read this) then dont do it. You may aswell drive around without insurance as it WILL be void... imagine if you killed someone, or ran someone over or just caused a serious amount of damage. Not only that, but what if it happened to you and they had no insurance..Besides... youd be mugging yourself paying £1000 e.g. for void insurance..Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
