Insurance And Legal Mods

[JaFF]

After reading a few threads around the place I thought I better find out if I'd be covered if I needed to claim insurance. I'm with just cars fully comp. and have all my mods listed.

I've read elsewhere though that it doesn't matter if they are listed if they are illegal mods. ie. if you make a claim and have illegal mods they can deny your claim.

So.. I wanted to find out what mods in tassie are legal.

My car has a FMIC but I'm still using the standard air box. (no pod)

Have a 2 stage boost controller

have a SAFC II.

Turbosmart BOV (which i think i'll swap back to stock anyway)

3" turbo back exhaust

so, in terms of tassies laws do I have anything illegal?

I wouldn't have thought so but the only things worrying me are the boost controller and BOV.

Thanks,

James

If you have any concerns just get the modifications engineer approved by transport.

Costs like $200 max.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

very true they will not pay if the car has mods that are in anyway illegal

My car has an external wastegate and screamer pipe and Shannons covered it.

They covered it or they paid out on a claim?? coz they are not the same thing.

We told them every little detail of the car and they covered it for a value that i chose. They even had a look at it at the car show at the Silverdome.

so they were cool about the external gate then? cos i heard they didn't love em!

I'll ask Dad (he's a insurence broker, and he deals with Shannons), i'm pretty sure aslong as you declare all the mods, you will get payed if something goes wrong. Otherwise they just won't cover you.
