Mapped by?
Looks OK, but you'll need to declare that lot and it won't be cheap to insure. |
Do you think a good condition standard impreza would be a better buy due to cheaper insurance?do you have to declare an engine rebuild with uprated parts even if they are like for like?i understand exhausts,map and that sort of thing needs declaring but wasn't sure about bigger pistons etc
|
i though it was stuff they could only physically see
|
I don't really want something with big premiums as I'm tied into my current multicar insurance until April then I can get specialist insurance but my insurers aren't keen on many mods.ive had a quote I'm happy with for a standard one though so maybe that's the way to go.the reason I like it isn't really for the mods it's more as its mint.

I'd assume that the insurance companies would view a car with more power as being an increased risk and hence load the premium.
Performance modifications also add to the car's value, thereby increasing their potential loss. You could try a sample quote eg. go online for a standard car (X reg Turbo) and then call the same company (they are unlikely to quote online for mods) to see how much difference it makes, or pop along to a local insurance broker. All you want is an indication as to whether it will be more expensive or not (plus you'll want to know how much, if you do buy this one anyway). |

this may sound stupid but as its running a standard turbo will it have definitely been mapped? Could it be running normal boost and bhp but on a stronger engine? If that was the case would it all need to be declared? it has only done 3000miles since rebuild 7 years ago, is that a worry in some ways as it has probably been ran in small bursts and never ran in properly? even though cambelt will have only done the 3000miles as it is 7 years old should it be changed?

It has a stainless manifold and an induction kit, yes it SHOULD have at LEAST have had the map checked and tweaked.
If it hasn't, walk away. |
Thanks alcazar,I suppose it is common sense when you think about it.
Cheers |

I'm assuming (again) that this is due to natural degradation/wasting of the material the belt is made of, coupled with 5 years of being tensioned. I've put my head above the parapet so that someone who really knows about these things can confirm or deny it. |
Yep ALL the belts and fluids need changing.:thumb:
