What’s the insurance and V5 process like when doing this sort of thing gents? Instagram @richmond_custom

Co1 in my circumstances it's a bit of a long story. I bought the donor car and removed engine. I sent the V5 back to DVLA to tell them about changes and got a letter back saying I needed to prove my ownership of engine with A. A receipt from garage I bought engine off or B. A letter from Toyota stating that it was their engine ![]() C. An inspection for insurance purposes from a MOT type garage I sent an email explaining that I'd bought the car privately and registered it in my name and sold it complete minus the engine and gearbox with the buyers name and address. This it seems was proof enough as they returned my log book with engine change but still had it down as a diesel. I pointed out the error and got a new V5 with the engine change, still as diesel but now only having 1 seat instead of 5! I pointed this further error and am now awaiting the next V5 to see what they've screwed up this time ![]() The insurance was a bit of a mine field as I use vehicle for work as well as SDP but Adrian flux sorted it. Nobody else wanted to quote ![]() Are you thinking of a similar conversion? |

I am. I was thinking of going the more “standard” LS3 route, but your thread is causing me decision fatigue!! Instagram @richmond_custom

My first choice was an LS3 but they priced me out of the market ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() Click image to enlarge Ls430 pedal binned and this is the i200/300 lexus pedal. I had to bend the metal a bit (lot) to get it to fit and not bottom out on the floor. It's a lot more user friendly thanks to Chris at Phoenix engine management for the speedy service. I recommend his expertise highly if you want to do this conversion whether using a Lexus ECU or stand alone he's your man ![]() ![]() |
