PPP
Hi
I have recently bought a new Sti with PPP. If it was a standard Sti my insurance would be £375, if it was an RB320 it would be £375 but as the PPP is fitted as non standard although it is affectively the same power as a RB320 my insurance is £600. This seems absolutely ridiculous surely there is an insurance company that recognises the car's power and sees it at least the equivalent of a RB320? Wish I had bought an RB320 now.
Any recommendations for a company with common sense?

Just tell the insurance company it's a STI 305.
Some insurance companies recognise PPP as factory fitted. Others see it as an aftermarket engine modification and charge the earth.
Happened to me on the first year of ownership.

A Plan were good for me too, so good that the wife is now with them as well. Their office is in the UK, they know what they are on about, you never have to 'Press 1 for...' and the phone is always answered quickly. That's what i'm after.
Heard only good things about Keith Michaels though too.

Admiral wanted to charge me £50 for fitting Thatcham approved Supaglass film.
They said they wouldn't cover any modifications at all, that included PPP / TSL333. Needless to say i cancelled that policy.

Ditto - it's nice in this day and age to actually speak to someone from the moment the phone is answered ie no fecking machine!!!
Me and the missus are both insured with A Plan and found them excellent to deal with and the cheapest around - nice people who you can actually chat to and know their stuff.
