Just Cars - Rating 1

23yo male

$1060 per year.

Insured for $19,000 incl mods (18's, bov, bodykit, exhaust, stereo, momo wheel, turbo timer, pod, strut brace blah blah).

i realy hate these threads :P

22... $3200/yr... :(

btw everyone, remember if you got illegal mods like a boost controller or a bov and you have an accident just cars wont pay you out a cent.

True?? I'm going to read up my policy on that one. Seems stupid if they're willing to list it as a mod and not cover you.

When i took out my policy they said that they wont cover you if you FAIL to notify them of mods (eg: bov, turbo, suspension etc..). As long as you keep them updated it should be fine.

No the mods that are on the car also have to be legal, (ie your bov can't vent to atmo etc). I have a fried who works for an assesor, and basically he said that they're pretty lacked about basic mods like that, its illegal ones like: Having no cat, or mods which are illegal and downright dangerous like cut springs, or putting your rolling diametre out by 4 cm's without recalibrating your speedo, that they are concerned about.

I was also under that impression.. but i called them up to double check (i was having this same discussion with someone a few weeks ago)

they say they will cover you... but if you read there terms and conditions it ses

if you have anything illegal fitted to your car you will not be covered.

I told them about my safc/boost controller and they charged me the extra $40 or $50..... then when i asked them if im covered they said its my responsibility to make sure nothing illegal is fitted to the car... they clearly said 'no you wont be covered'

its an insurance company... there going to be looking for any excuse not to pay you..... Maybe its abit more strict in victoria or something... but i reckon all you guys should ring up and double check, cause there terms and conditions policy overrule your policy.

yeah but all they need is 1 little excuse not to pay you... lets say you have an illegal bov...

option a) they can be nice and pay you out evan if though they dont legaly have to

option B) they can stick to there terms and conditions and pay you nothing :P

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
