I'm looking at buying a Supra. Have applied with both Famous and Just Cars. Will be interested to see what the figures are. I've been with Just Cars before and they've taken care of me. On that basis alone, I'm leaning towards them already.

**** me drunk..... $2722 from JCI. I'm 26 years old, last accident was 3 years ago as well as my last speeding fine.

This is ridiculuous. Not even counting the eleventy billion dollars they want in excess fees should something goes wrong. I was quoted $1700 when I was looking at an R32 GTR (not modified) and Honda Integra Type R.

I'm going to wait and see what Famous offer me.

Got a call yesterday from Robin @ Famous. She gave me $2700. When I mentioned that I had received other quotes and mentioned Just Cars had given me the same figure she immediately dropped it to $2500.

I also asked about the monthly installments and how that works. I was quite happy. I was a little sketchy about the requirements thing for leaving it on the road things like that so I asked. She said it was primarily to prevent people leaving it on the street overnight while they slept. So it's one thing if you go out to a nightclub all night and leave it on the street, it's another if you crash a mates place and leave it on the street and it gets burged.

I will read the fine print more closely but to be honest I'm almost definitely going with Famous I have to say.

Shannon's were nice but they just couldn't help me. Robin at Famous was great. :rofl:

I am with famous, 1,500 with 1,000 excess. They dont care what mods you have as long as they are legal. they want receipts for all mods, and pics of engine, interior and exterior. Minimum 3 point immobiliser. Will cover custom paint jobs, but not harlequin paint and get to choose own repair shop.

Just cars quoted 1,570, BUT with a 1,700 excess (WTF??). So chose Famous instead. Havent needed t make a claim (touch wood) so dont know about their claim service.

Oh that is for 1995 R33 gtst with a few mods, and over 30 yrs.

Drivebai: I have front mount too, sent them receipts and all is good. havent been asked to prove if any mod I have is legal so far. maybe at worst they could reques an engineer certificate, but I just plucked that one. about to send off some more mods to them, let you know if I have any dramas. Dont quote me , but I believe that if you dont declare mods, a claim can be refused, (dont know anyone that has been in that situation though)

yeah i just got a frount mount and i am with famous. i wasn't sure if they were going to jack up the premium by like hundreds of dollars just cos of it.

Didn't know whether to tell em about it.. how can you prove if its legal..

Declare it. They know about mine and it's all ok.

I think there are a couple of people who have written about making claims with Famous in this thread. If not there is another thread somewhere in this section where they talked about it. From what I can remember there were no issues because all of their stipulations were followed (the main ones being parked in your own garage overnight if at home, and telling them about all the mods). No one had their car stolen from their own garage either I think. Which is good :P

I'd search for the exact posts for you but I'm at work (well, really it's because I'm lazy)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
