HELP! Insurance is a nightmare

[trotter]

The point about the engine size is valid - it\'s one thing \'flaunting\' it for tax purposes if it was originally registered as a 1308cc - but quite another to be insured as it. To be in the safe side i\'d ask the insurers to confirm in writing that they acknowledge the physical engine volume is 1308cc but its actually akin to 2616c. I asked sky to do this last year (they only had the 2354cc on file) and they did it no problem.

In order to bring premium down, try simple things - weekend use only (limited mileage), Cat 1 security, garaged, do an advanced drivers course, etc etc

Good luck

I would not take the risk insuring it as a 1.3 i don\'t think.
It must invalidate the insurance surely?
Can someone with more knowledge shed some light?

Sky have a policy that u need to have rx7 or similar experience for a year. I was with Noel dazley this year 22 1ncb no claims though. Driving 5 years. And mine was 1600 with 1 k excess.  5k millage.

Now I\'m getting quotes of 1200-1400 with a few mods and only a 400 excess.
All cos I have that magic 1 year.

The first year I took a risk and told them I had a race licence and it helped. Also that I have driven powerful cars in the past.

Sky even said I can go single turbo to around 450bhp and it will only be about 1500-1600 so I will be doing that!
