Hi all,

I just renewed my policy with just car.And i had to add afew more mods to the policy from last year (mods in sig)

I was told that if the mods are not legal my policy will be void if i tried to make a claim.And with all the money ive put into the car plus how much ive paid in insurance over the last 2 years i certainly dont want my policy void if i need to make a claim.

So the only thing that will be illegal on the car as far as i can see is the exhaust,last time i tested it,it was 94.6db.With the new turbo and dump it would now probably be 95-96db.I can get an engineers ticket for the car off this guy and it will say everything is up to code.

So if i do need to make a claim i will be ok.OR ill have to find a highflowing exhaust that is 90db.

What would you do???

CHEERS

read through the policy booklet im pretty sure i read in it ages ago that they can only void your insurance if the illegal mod contributed or caused the accident. I could be wrong havent read the policy book in ages but worth a look i guess.....

either way I'd be looking at getting the car engineered.

Always helps if a cop pulls you over, although they might find something else to nab you on.

Id give them a call (just cars) and ask them if the modification didnt cause the accident would you still be covered.

Yeah I reckon that'll be a good idea. What's the chances of having a car that's modified and completely legal? The chances are pretty small.

hot rods? :thumbsup:

majority of them are modded and engineered/legal! :happy:

was thinking...put it this way.

If someone ran up the back of you and you were stopped at a red light.

Did the FMIC cause the accident?

No cause you werent at fault.

However, late night, Old pac...single vehicle accident...something to the car and you has contributed to the accident!

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA

      The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
