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)

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
