So who else besides NRMA and the Suncorp owned companies (AAMI, Just Car, Shannons et al.) insures grey imports? Going to vote with my feet once this is all over and NRMA will only cover my car for $12k at a cost of $1300 a year.

given that you just made an at fault claim you may find it difficult to vote with your feet Boz.

he makes a point :(

yeah shannons is suncorp owned..cant expect to much. I only have it because of the combo of Beetle and skyline was the best with the highest payouts. And from what i understand, Shannons gives loyalty discounts for staying with them.

Well just cars only worked out slightly cheaper than shannons

BUT they did increase they agreed value on the leopard (not much, but at least they were willing to discuss it), both cars are covered for everyday use (leopard was limited use with shannons policy), and no stupid restricted driver policy. They win :thumbsup:

Got the smash repair guys doing the work to give me a full, itemised copy of the quote. Only second hand parts they are using is the bonnet and AC fan & shroud. Everything else is brand new, ex-japan. the prices on some of this stuff is just obscene. Nearly $400 for the radiator fan and shroud, front bar is nearly $800 and it looks like a pair of new headlights at $1100 amongst other things. ($570 each and both are listed on the quote) Just under $4,000 in new parts for the front end.

At least the front of my car will look nice and tidy :) One plus I guess. They are also doing a full mechanical assessment over the next couple of days and will send me an itemised quote for mechanical repairs. Downside, IC and radiator are cactus. They are going to see if they can repair them and if not the new assessor I'm dealing with has said he will give PWR a call and see what they can do. Not sure what will happen with the IC as Blitz doesn't make that model any more. This new guy actually seems to give a shit, or maybe my bitching got a response.

Just got a call from Shannons :O in reply to my email yesterday.

Spoke to someone who was much more helpful, and explained to me the restricted driver condition in more detail. It's not quite as bad as I thought, but still a bit of a pain, and they still want to put it on both cars.

They were happy to increase the value of the leopard by the same amount as just car however, and said they would be happy to talk about increasing it further if they can inspect the car.

Much happier with the service this time round, they are going to send me an updated quote and we'll go from there.

Maybe I just spoke to the wrong person the other day...

That happens too, I have had vastly different experiences with them depending on who the person is.

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
