you know who you are, for example:
Closed deck block
Uprated headgaskets
Lowered Compression
APS FMIC
APS Induction
Steel Crank
Arrow Rods
Cossie Pistons
Flowed and Ported heads
550cc Injectors
Uprated fuel pump
Turbo Dynamics MD195 turbo
BPM/AVO large inlet
HKS SQV
Venturi up pipe
Ported headers
BPM Twin Dump DP
HKS Hiper TT
Gems fully programmable Replacement ECU
Where do you guys get your insurance? How do you approach companies for quotes etc. I'd love to know more....
cheers,
Robin

Being older & more farty than some of you young whipper-snappers 
NFU
UK supplied cars only. Over 30% cheaper than the competition
Now some would say I haven't a "heavilly" modded car, but I believe there is a thresh-hold for the insurers to deal with. NFU won't replace "mods" like for like, so stuff your SS BB and it'll be a UK standard one that re-appears etc etc. They sure as 'eck don't know what a closed deck block is and aren't interested. Why should they be? Don't have the car nicked though, as it will not repay the cost of the parts.
However, as far as mods go, PTMW! is not a Standard UK scoob, with Brakes/Suspension/PPP/P1 Front etc etc but it makes about 15% difference to a Standard MY99 for me
Clean driving licence and no accidents help too

Puff,
I'm 'older & more farty' too, and I have a UK car.
I also have clean license and full NCB.
I only want to do some fairly modest tweaks but my exsisting company won't wear *any* mods at all so need to go elsewhere.
So far the best I can do is 33% up on my exsisting policy for just adding a backbox so I need to do better.
Who are NFU? I'll give 'em a try.
