I rang Famous and Response for insurance of a R32 GTSt last week. Response quoted me $1040 with $750 excess (that's it, no more excess for body kits claims OR theft). Famous agreed to match the $1040 quote of Response, but could not match the excess. The best they could do was $1000 basic + $1000 for theft. (I'm >28 w/ rating 1).

So I am changing from the evil just cars to Response in the next few weeks.

I still haven't found any better options. I think Response is the way too go (if you are over 25), as I think under 25 Famous will give you a better deal.

A friend of mine just landed a Supra and he found Famous to be cheaper for him (as he is 24), where as me at >28 found Response to have the best prices.

Zahos,

You're right, my car is locally delivered,

mzgtst,

Not sure whether Response insure under 25's. Give them a buzz.

Anyway, I just called Famous and got a quote for $1600 for mildly modified 200SX, leased, over 30 yo, 1 speeding fine in 5 yrs, low risk PO, secure night parking and driving less than 10km's annually. I recently took out a policy with Budget Direct for $1530 but have since cancelled it due to the fact they dont endorse any kinds of mods. I think Famous is the way to go for me.

    • 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.
