In today days the process for chossing a Reputable Auto Insurance Company has become very complicated. How do you know what companies are reputable and which are just out to take your money and provide little in return? Before you shop, the first question to ask yourself is what is it you want from your auto insurance company. Mainly, you want them to:

• Be fair – handle your claims in a fair and timely fashion

• Have a strong financial outlook

• Have few complaints filed against them

• Be rated highly by private rating services

• Be honest with you – tell you what coverages you need given your circumstances and how much it will cost

• Be responsive to your questions – have someone available to answer your coverage and claim questions

• Have a history of good service

There’re so many categories of auto insurance coverage. What coverage do you need most? What can you do without? Picking up the best coverage options takes some time and efforts.

1. Go to the website of your state’s department of insurance. Therefore you’ll have a better understanding of your state’s auto insurance coverage requirements.

2. Check and review your driving record. Minimum coverage is not enough for risky drivers.

3. In addition to your driving record, you also need to consider other factors when deciding how much coverage you need.

4. Perhaps the most important step for finding the best coverage is to obtain the best auto insurance rates for your needs.

5. Extra Bonus.

1) I periodically talk to two of my friendly panelbeaters

2) An insurance company is hard to trust when one staff member at LSV refers to a fellow worker as a dope

3) It's difficult to stay loyal to only one insurance company when it ups the premium the following year and you find that their opposition is cheaper > back & forth: back & forth

4) With regard to your reference of honesty, it can be hard to tell if your insurance rep is honest when you can't see his face, and his fellow worker tells you something different.

5) If you've had an indiscretion, the company tries to get that money back the following year - big time - not just gradually!

I treat companies as being guilty until proven innocent. That's how they've treated me.

Too right Terry.

What other industry has moved to such widespead use of private detectives for claim interviews.

Hardly a show of confidence/competence in their own staff.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
