indeed true, but i was loooking over my policy last nite

if your car has "illegal mods" they wont pay out?

and im 99% sure most of us have "illegal mods", i mean if they want to get picky they wont pay u out cos you have a blow off valve!

so really when you think about it, what is the point in the insurance?

Depends on the company and how anal they want to be... almost every car, import or not, has illegal modifications to it. I guess it also depends on what mods u have listed and what u have not.

I had full comp on my 32... luckily never had to claim.

In order to void your insurance they have to prove that the "illegal mod", provided you've also listed it on your policy, contributed to the accident.

Lets use a dodgy catch-can as an example:

Could it contribute to you running up someones arse?

Highly unlikely.

Could it spray oil vapour on to your exhaust housing, or a shorting wire, giving you a nice little bonfire?

Sure could, and if the insurance company can prove it, then you're in trouble.

But an internet forum isn't the best place to get this type of info, give your insurance comapny a call, don't mention your policy or anything just make "general enquiries".

I wasnt under the impression that the "illegal mod" had to contribute to the accident to void it. I thought anything illegal or undeclared voided it. Do you have that in writing anywhere as that puts a different emphasis on insurance?

Thats one cool retirement backup plan ;)

Yeah it dont make sense either, ive got a boost controller but its illegal. But they still allow it. There should be a loop hole somewhere that cos they can take your money off you KNOWING you have an illegal mod they should be forced to pay if you have an accident. (Hope im making sense)

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
