nova redtop

[Gabbo]

now i guess there are a lot of u ppl out there with redtops in your nova's im toying with the idea myself as i have just come into some money! (wiplash claim he he) ;)
how have u ppl gone about insurance? have u declaired it as a 2ltr 16v and do u need like an engineers report to say your car is up to spec or out like that??

As said, please type PROPERLY and we'll all get along fine :)

AN engineers report is fairly simple to aquire from a workshop, or alternatively, just stating the conversion was done by the previous owner can work if you havent insured the car before the convesrion yourself. Only really a good idea if your confident with the spanners and are 100% confident what you've done is safe.

You MUST declare all modifications in your insurance, or you could end up being royally reamed after an accident, and all reamings contribute to pushing up the cost of insuring modified novas.

sorry im new to this site as you can tell.
yeah i am a mechanic so im over confident with the tool thats the easy part i was just unsure how to go about the insurance of the car because obviously id need to declare every thing because i cant pass a redtop off with a 1.2 he he.
yeah i already drive the car it has a 1.4 sr in it but like i say i have read up on the redtop root and i want to go down that road but dont want to modify a car that i cant insure if that makes sense??

again sorry for the text typing :(

So it not ok to try and pass a 1.2 off as a red top but you seam to be passing off a 1.4 as a 1.2 by what you have said.
