Don't be silly mate

Shope around, try Liv Vic - thats a way too high quote, you'll get it much cheaper...........

Dream Weaver

LV, cool, will try them now.

Dream Weaver

Ah, LV dont do mods

Gutmann pug

DW ...with LV and scoobs you can do any mods you like to the car as long as you dont increase the engine capacity...that means cage, wheels, engine parts the whole lot....I would ring them back and speak to someone else.....It only costs me £900 to insure a new STi which is modded with them

£1450 lol try Norwhich Union or Priviledge then. When I had mine it was under £500 a few years back now with NUnion, when I was 30. If no luck then maybe prices have been hiked up again for mods on GTIs, not sure.

Edited - ugh unless u mean on ya Scoob? It should be under £1000 anyway.

jjones

try elephant .co.uk they have online quotes that you can select from a big list of mods.

Gutmann pug

This may sound silly but if you only do small miles a year look at a classic car insurance. The age of the car should mean that it quialifys as a classic or what they call a future classic .....My old TVR used to cost me £350 fully comp, agreed value pay out restricted to 5K miles per year.
Try adrian flux or one of those type of places

prana

Gutmann, how does the chassis hold up to the track, any signs of flex ?

Gutmann pug

prana .......How the hell do you tell if its flexing or not? lol ...... I drive the holy shxt out of it and it feels pretty rock solid, on tight turns with too much speed she understeers and very rarely i can get the rear to move out a bit, but thats more by luck then judgement....I have driven others and they dont hold the road half as well, but that dont mean a well sorted one wouldnt destroy mine.
But as for your question i wouldnt have a clue ....!!!!

met

yeah the monacos are great seats for the money, got mine on eBay for £200, bizarely the drivers one on mine squeks too? i did think about having just one seat but have planned to take mates & sister inlaw(dont ask) out on track too.
need some advise though, how bad are the OMP cages? at under £200 x vat can you argue? or do i go for the safety devices mega buks effort?
ta

Dream Weaver

Apparently the OMP cages come unfinished and rather rough on quality, Think I will go for an SD one eventually.

RRH

you can't argue too much at that price, although they can be tricky to fit

Gutmann pug

My safety devices was £370 all in including door bars. It took an afternoon to bolt and tack weld into position. No idea about the OMP gear to be honest.

met

where did you it for 370 from cheapest ive found is 430 delivered for the sd one, or 260 delivered for the omp one

Kev-G

DW,

OMP are unfinished, but I have had no prob. with the quality of the cage itself. The mountings can be a little hit or miss, but since you have to weld these it is not such a big issue.

met,

Does the 260 inc. door bars?

Gutmann pug

I got mine direct from Safety devices ....its the bolted one, bolted and then welded in position. It need a few cuts and holes in ya car to fit it but anyone with half a brain and a tool box can do it .......As I proved

RRH

likewise

DannyBoyTurbo

Just to add some pics of my MI16 powered track prepared Pug 309 GTI

http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/phpBB2/m...bum.php&page=5

It was strickly a track car until I blew the scooby up 6 weeks ago so I had to go and get an interior from a scrappy so I could drive the family around for a while lol

It good fun blowing away BMW's and GTI's who think Its just your titpical boy racer car

Gutmann pug

Danny boy, I just walked into the house after me Nurburgring trip and my little pug has been wasting more than just Beemers and GTi's thats for sure

Gutmann, Having replied to your brake pad thread about 10 mins ago I now find that your back from the 'ring. That was fast . What pads did you go for in the end and how did they perform?

Dreamweaver, I think you were asking about insurance. I used to be with Hoddesden Ins Consultants, 350gbp full ncd various mods (200 quid cheaper than pervious cheapest, green something or other). Now with Osbourne, full ncb transfered to my STi3 wagon (they don't seem to like modded imports much!) and they have given me full discount on the pug too (but obviously no ncd though ), so still paying the same for it. Flux were quite good too. Hope this helps.

RRH, out of curiosity how much are you looking for for your 205 mi16, as I'm considering it for mine soon, and who's conversion bits/kit did you use. Pm or email me if you prefere.

madmoog

p.s. Do you think that we need a 205 forum on scoonynet???

Dream Weaver

Insured it TPFT in the end with Flux for £351

Means I will lose about £2500 if its nicked, but nothing I can do - none of them would do an agreed value policy.

Going to spend the insurance savings on a Cat1 full alarm job - total closure the lot

Gutmann pug

madmoog...

How ya doing mate? I saw your note on my brake pads thread cheers. No i havent changed my pads yet, they are for my second trip which is 2 weeks this friday and i cant wait. I had the wheels off at the weekend and my standard pads have loads left on them so im uming and rrring as to whether to bother this time or not....May do though to get an edge, and that is needed over there against the high powered stuff......

cheers for the replies though mate....

regards

Gutmann,

The other thing I meant to post last night but forgot (red wine induced amnesia!) was about tyres.

Just had some Goodyear GSD3 F1's fitted on the fronts after the rave reviews of them on scooby's. Very good wet and dry and warm up nicely. When I use the pug and arrive at Milton Keynes (roundabouts and drag racing between) they are nicely warmed starting to feel sticky. Previously had P700Z which were nowhere near as good but did last well! Wear on there seems proportional to fun!! What are you running?

Also Yoko A510 were good, A520 less so and A539 worse in my opinion.

Bring back A008 or Bridgestone RE71

madmoog

p.s. You wouldn't want the standard pads to fade half way through a lap would you............

p.s.s. I ought to add that I now run 195/50 r15

Dream Weaver

I loved A539's on my old 1.6. I have P6000's at the mo, which are superb in the dry.
