My experience - I've been with Shannon's since I was 19 and had a 10sec VL modded to the max. Regardless, I shop around every year for a quote and they are always the cheapest and they actually have plausible excesses. From what I've seen they don't care what car or mods you have or whether it is an import. Customer service has always been exemplory. And the older guys have been the ones who help the most. Must be some other reason why they knocked you back.

Actually no - that was the beginning of the conversation.

I've been insured with them before - they loved to insure my '69 351 Falcon for CHEAPPPPPPPP when I was younger..

I didn't even get to tell them my driving record (which is where most companies start to laugh and tell me politely to bugger off).

Shannons are the best by far!!!!!!!!!

I pay under $100 a month on a low k policy & have quite a few mods...

Just Car Insurance basically said they could only insure me 4 third party when i informed them of new paint job..so i went straight 2 Shannons & nothing was a problem @ all

i had a cover note with Shannons a few years ago, but ended up going with Suncorp cos it was cheaper... might get another quote next time mines up, see what they can do.

I don't know if it's still the same but you had to get a Brant immobiliser to get insured with them.

Shannons are insurance for the Motor Enthusiast. They have the same parent company as Just Cars.

I have had a member who was 21yrs old at the time insured by Shannons for a 2004 STI with us. If you mention you are from a car club there is a better chance they will insure you. Better if they know of the car club too not "West Side Speed Demons" :rofl: .. I just made that up.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
