Got quoted $2300 premium with JC. I'm 18, car is 96 GTST, alarm, immobilizer, parked in an off the street lock up garage, in Stirling. Driven once a week, not my daily. Is it just me or is that ridiculous?

I'm 19, female, same year and model, alarm, immobiliser, few mins from Stirling. I think I put it as not being my daily too. $1252 premium, $1550 excess. Where did they get the extra 1k from? Surely its not just from being male? OH.. Josh it's you!! Haha hey, didn't see your actual name until I read back up!

Called SGIC today and he quoted me $1211 for comprehensive (same details as above post). BUT wouldn't insure my car for more than $5000 and something claiming that's all they sell for and are worth at the moment. Hung up on him. Called RAA (member) quoted me $3000 for comprehensive.

Think I might just stick with Just Car, they seem to be experienced with young drivers and turbos. I just don't want to have to pay the $1252 up front, would much rather pay it monthly (will be another $250 a year if I do).

hi all

havent been on for quite a few months just been really busy with other aspects of life .but i had reason to make a insurence claim thru shannons last week and that remianded of this thread.

my mrs was in a 4 car pile up on main nth rd last week sitting at the lights then thump thump thump as 3 cars behind she got hit by a bloke without much brains damage to the mrs car was fairly light due to the other cars taking the energy out of it all. our tow bar was bent up 90 degs and pushed into the bumper.

no other damage besides that tho. we rang shannons that night to get the ball rolling and because my mrs had all the other drivers details they approved the claim at no cost. all we had to do was take the car to a crash shop of our choice the next day where it was assesed later that day shannons rang to give the repair the go ahead easy as that .you hear horror stories from insurence companys but these guys have been a pleasure to deal with kudo's to them . car went in today to be repaired will be ready for pick up wed night .

cheers dean

Edited by mid life crisis

the guy we spoke to first up was exellent his first question was to ask how my mrs was feeling dropped the car off yesterday and should be ready tomorrow i know its not a big doller claim or anything like that but i feel we have been looked after and the right thing has been done by us.

i used to recommend shannons to friends before this incedent im even more likley to recommend them now i also added another car to the policy that we have just bought and have gotton a quote for a trailer ive just built for my race car ..try getting that service thru buppa lol.

how ya going madaz ya better feel me in on all the gossip ive missed out on in the last 6 months

cheers dean

Hehe, theres a thread in global wasteland - I dont know how to find it offhand but its some guy whinging about how crap the country of tur key is and some mod decided it'd be funny to attach the filter... hilarity ensued

its even funnier when christmas comes around and people start talking about roast tur key and start peaking, wondering why their post is getting edited

-D

Ie: Me and my mum spent the entire afternoon preparing the christmas the sphincter of the universe. It tasted so good once it was out of the oven and nommed into our bellies.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
