    I'm just wondering how much it would cost to insure a modified and/or turbo car and who would do it.

    Thanks.

    @elexes - well thats the answers I'd like to get from people. I'm just amazed how many people can afford to insure RX-7, Skylines, Silvias, Impreza, etc. I thought of making an insurance thread for modified cars just like the one on the motors forum.

    @cjs
    Quinn- needs to ring them for a quote,
    FBD - doesnt insure performance cars
    Hibernian - havent tried it yet :)

    Hey I'm interested in this too.

    My mate has an Evo 7 and is upgrading the Air intake, clutch, and a few other bits;) .
    Just when he rang his insurance crowd they said that they would not insure him anymore if he made the modifactions.
    Do you know of a company who defo will insure the car + mod's

    I've heard of some insurers requiring an engineers report?

    All help appricated
