Thanks all i have made a short list of other potential insurers and will be contacting them all.

It's funny that with shannons, i was told that once i turned 25 my prem. will drop under $2000. When my rennual came it increased from $2100 to $2300, through no doing of my own. When i questioned why this was they simply said "due to the amount of claims made with my type of vehicle". So no matter how carful i am on the road if some other idiots (non of them on this forum, i'm sure :) ) keep having accidents i will still be stung. WHAT B.S.!!!

I was paying $4000 frm CGU w3nkers via Heath Lambert that decided to terminate carriage for import cars insurance, then went to Just cars for $4200.00 ... after three years, ive paid over $12K in insurance which neva gave me one moment of benefit... bsides the odd... peace of mind.

now that ive handled sooo many sore ongoing costs amplifying legal matters in relation to insurance failing to pay up to our clients due to some minor excuses about legality of certain modifications, certain obl. to inform them of every mineut details, certain minor breachs in cond of car etc etc that ends up them not accountable to the policy, its a forever ending battle.....

i don't believe in insurance anymore.

just got third party.

a muthda fooken good alarm.

don't park anywhere for more than 20minutes... (it only takes that long)

and have a second car or three.

i'm with you miz 33t... just get third party and have a bomb or co car for daily driver or beater as the yanks like to call it.. Shit if you are paying 4 grand a year in ten years you could have bought a gtr with that cash. and insurance costs are only gunna to go up... its rape and pillage. yes and a damm good alarm ..

btw off top nice dawn run pics. esp u and mona heheh

Just to clarify,

Im 22 in June.

Clean record up until Nov 2002. now only 1pt.. who cares (no insurance anyway.)

My car is considerably, uninsurabally modified.

Anything that goes beyond the general/specific modifications that are a high canditate or remotely an epa/rta suspectible victim is also uninsurable.

But i guess, the only way to find out if u have wasted several years of hard earned thousand of dollars on a "'strong as oak' policy", is to have ur car stolen or raped, then try to lodge a claim.

anywayz..

goodluck to all!

we all living in this ridiculously high cost of living society surrounded by prick ass companies making the use and abuse of us paw ppl with their obtuse, stringent and unrealistic parametuers... ^_^

hahahah dun worrie... im just a bitter ol' hag.

hey hippy, I use torque underwriting too, do a search, there is an old thread with insurance co names and numers.

As for company car, the only way to get a better deal than retail is to lease thru someone and get insured on their fleet. My car is just insured directly so I just get the regular price. Still pretty good though, about 2100 for 28yo, 97 GTST

This is the one reason for selling my good old Skyline R-33 GTS-t.. Damn insurance.. Call me a traitor, about to get into a 400HP GSR Lancer 4wd.. Funny thing about this though i am paying less than half the amount for insurance.. And the Lancer will be nearly twice as powerful?? Figure that out.....

fark that, nice avatar...

Im with franks though on this, id never buy a car and not insure it... When i had the 994t porsche, the insurance went up to $9000 per annum, i wasnt going to pay that so i sold the car... never did it cross my mind to drive it without comprehensive, accidents do happen....

thats just my opinion anyway...

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
