Youve just realised why people that age dont declare engine swaps!

Flux and hic are both 19+ afaik. Dont know of any that will cover you

Fcuk me, I had a 903cc engine at 18!

Put up with it, save the big power for when you're older and its cheaper.

curtoise... do like us old sods did...... learn to drive what you've got. i can guarantee that a-b a 1.0 nova will only be a fraction slower than a 1.2, or a 1.3, once you have worked out how to keep up the momentum, and not jump on the anchors every 5 seconds.....

Also might be worth asking your insurer about other mods that don't add power; suspension, brakes, etc.
