Insurance sucks though they never insure for what has been spent on it or what its worth.

20-07-08, 00:03 GMT+10#102 I'm sorted with Shannons - agreed value with my choice of repairer etc
Given my last insurer was market value, Shannons are covering it for heaps more with only a slight increase in premium and it can be paid monthly as well.
As said thats for limited use obviously

20-07-08, 00:08 GMT+10#103 yeh Shannon's are definitely the go, my mate has his home, cars and shed insured with them lol (he's a mechanic). Unfortunately I'm not in a position to get insurance with them though (I have tried). So it looks like Just Car is the only option.
Took the VL out for another spin round the block tonight, pulls like a cut ******* considering its a trimmed base map!

Got the car insured,
got run in tune today 6-7psi
2nd gear won't engage on the gearbox for some reason hoping like hell to get it fixed @ top quality tomorrow so i can have final tune next week.
Car feels strong, but lack of 2nd gear is ****

22-08-08, 06:14 GMT+10#112 Update guys:
Since had 2nd gear fixed and also lost 3rd and reverse. LOL fail.
Anyway got it insured too and had some fun with it while it lasted
I'm very pleased with the feel of the car so far and the torque of the DOHC, don't have to boost anywhere, even up the steepest hills on the stall.
I'm patiently awaiting parts from KEAS to fix the box up again so I can take it for the "big" tune and finally see some numbers for the build. Stay Tuned.
Until then here's some recent pics:
