I was using Classic cars insurance originally but when some old lady stalled her car at the lights and rolled into the front of my car , they were the most rude and arogant Pr#@ks to talk to and deal with .

Will never recomend them to anyone.

This is the case with most of them though and hopefully you, me, will never have to. ie never have bad luck and have to make a claim.

I have tryed Shannons and they dont seem interested in an imported R32GTR.

just my thought's

Rather than edit my original post, I just thought I'd take back a few things said about shannons. I believe once insured with them they will honour your insurance etc. and are apparently very good to deal with for claims etc (what i've heard). I was just "voicing" my concerns, which dont appear to be valid.

I will stand by my comment about people who own modified stageas will more than likely be an enthusiast about their car. But a lot hangs on one's interpretation of "enthusiast".

So what i've realised is that I dont have any problem with Shannons - the company. I just dont agree with their stance on who they insure...

and most of that comes down to their advertising. I think their TV advertising is very misleading and I'm sure its resulted in a big increase in calls where people have been turned away.

I wont be going with them because, well...I cant. Enthusiast or not, they've refused me so I have no option.

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
