Well, I just got my quote from Ryno insurance, and it was under 1k. I was stoked at the price.. but then I read my policy details and realised the only thing they had got right on my policy was my first name.

Yeah, that's a no thanks from me! lol

Hang on..... Which one of your personalities was talking to them when you asked for a quote ? :laugh:

Has anyone had a claim processed through Ryno yet ?

:sick:

here Scott, this one might suit your needs a little better www.apia.com.au

i decided against going through these guys. they will probly reject your claim because your intercooler is not engineered or something stupid. Shannons on the other hand are really good to there customers and they will pay out where most other companys wont.

Has anyone ever had to put a claim through these guys yet ?

cheap premiums is one thing, but claims handling and service to back it up is another. be interesting to hear about any claims made through ryno. if they can do dirt cheap insurance and keep you happy even after a claim, then they must be on to something good :thumbsup:

this is precisely why I'm sticking with Shannons.....given how many mistakes were made on my policy, I don't have alot of faith in them doing the right thing come claim time.

its a catch 21 really. damned if you do, damned if you don't. you could pay 2k with shannons and believe everything will work out right come claim time but are there any guarantees? No one can really tell. All insurance companies are the same IMO, just depending on the circumstances of the claim. While I try to never have to put through a claim through my insurer, there are no guarantees I guess..I'm saving heaps if I go through RYNO and never make a claim.

Motor vehicle claims are so easy to handle. There really should be nothing to having the insured vehicle repaired, or there is something wrong with the company. Saying that my not-at-fault standard vehicle claims experience with Shannons could not have been easier. :wave:

For complicated stuff, try a medical malpratice litigation. :(

I have had nothing but happyness since I switched to Ryno. No issues at all. Yeah one time I put a quote request through and they never got back to me, but then I called, the lady took my details, and called back within an hour. No waiting on the line either.

Also note, they have 3 categories of drivers. Less than 4K per year, Less than 8K per year, or 8K and above. That also determines the insurance cost. And yes you need a tripple point immobiliser and a garage to be insured with them.

I really love the free window replacement with the poilcy too.

Bryce.

So, has ANYONE yet had a claim go through with Ryno ?

My insurance is now due and I'm not real happy with the premium so considering Ryno.

There's a similar thread on LS1.com, where a guy is currently going through a claim, and he could not be happier with the service.

As Ryno are underwritten, the claims process seems to go through the parent company, from what i could get on LS1 forum.

The cheap rates make sense though.

They only insure Rating 1 drivers, they look for car ensthusiasts. So basically people who are good drivers, and love their cars, so they look after them, and don't just leave them anywhere, which in turns means minimal claims.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
