Good news for engine mods

[SILICONE KID]

I had some good news today,after declaring the engine upgrade from 4l to 5l ,Megasquirt,aftermarket wheels and brake upgrade it only increased by £16 for the year.My next challenge is contacting the DVLA to notify them..What does worry me if the road tax goes up and loads of questions and even more costs..!Any one gone down this route.?

No what he said was completely the opposite.

It's one band for tax for cars over 1.6L, if registered before 2001 (1st March)

To be fair with the amount of time it doesn't actually work/run/drive that is quite a lot extra
