Roll caged, single turbo FD insurance?

[Initial-D]

Whos insured a seam welded and roll caged, single turbo FD?

Just wondering what the new quote could be for any or all (esp the cage) of the above mods, it\'d be as a classic second car with limited milage at around 3K? :3Confused

I\'m currently thinking Aon, followed by A-plan then THB Egger Lawson going on what I\'ve read. It doesn\'t have to include track cover.

£750 from AON for single tubbed,running 430bhp rwp with roll cage.

I used THB and they are excellent - plus i get track day cover... shame the engine hasn\'t lasted long enough to make it to the track

Cool! Shall give them a call on Monday!

Spoken to Aon and said the car was between 350-400bhp with cage etc.. and they said they couldn\'t insure a car that modified WTF??!!

I couldn\'t speak to Adam as he was unavailible but how stupid is it that only one person in the company can insure modified RX-7s....

I got a quote off them last month for my FC with a quoted power of 430bhp
2nd car, garaged, 5k limited miles - £494!

R-magic exhaust

I\'d have a chat with A-Plan.  They\'ve got no problems with modified cars (dunno about cages) and they seem knowledgable.  I\'ve just added a FPR, fuel pump and WI to mine and it didn\'t increase my policy at all.  They seem to care more about what you are actually doing rather than \'oh, you changed your gear knob...that\'s £50 extra\'...Plus you can suspend driving cover and get half your policy back for those months when it\'s only on fire and theft.  You can only do this once a year though.

Why as soon as you mention a roll cage do the insurance company\'s not want to insure you or bump up the price?-its only a safety addition  and does not increase the value of the car nor does it add performance?

 That will because they know damn well you have the cage fitted for a reason :Giggle :3gears-rh :burnout :Laugh :Nono!

Its the old "spike on the steering wheel" theory. If you feel safer because of the cage you are more likely to push the car harder and more likely to crash.

Some modern cars are so smooth and quiet that people should pay much higher premiums because they drive like nutters in any weather.

Got my renewal policy back from houghtons today. They want £547 for my current setup on twins. Thought I\'d ring them and ask how much extra a garrett 3574 single would be (GT35r minus ball bearing) with approx 20-30 bhp ATW more than my current setup. They have said an extra 50% on my premium and £100 more on my excess. I\'m actually quite happy because its not much more than what i paid last year for this policy

Not sure my turbos will survive much longer so I need to start saving

720 quid on the FC, all mods declared, including FIA/MSA spec cage and 8000pound agreed value. Through Sky. Aon quoted slightley less, through Adam, but had to pas another deposit.

Put my cage in in april rang AON to let the know and it didnt cost me anything extra, was amazed.  27yo 3000miles 325hp all mods declaired n its £530 fully comp. Just got a garage to put it in now as well so it will hopefully come down a little bit.

mods are volk alloys, feed exhaust system , blitz intercooler , re filter, caged out with buckets and harnesses, defi gauges, battery relocated. Full RE body kit.
