Totally agree, you'd never have confidence in the car again. Glad they've sorted it out for you. Onwards and upwards as they say

PM Zmanalex,  I'm pretty sure he'll be able to help you out with a lot off your list

Braw Zed 

Not a bad way to retire mate that's for sure, even if it is just from IT ....... have a brilliant adventure and keep us updated

No problem, just make it clear it will be international courier and the costs will refect this if being sold to member outside your homeland 

I can't see any warnings on your profile, maybe needs a look at by Admin. But your post needs updated to whether its posted or collected price or both options and from where in the UK as your Avatar doesn't say.

PS,  this is my first Mods action so I hope I've got it right

Now that's an offer you'd be silly to refuse, nice one Alex

Sad to read this, but like all of the above, glad you've walked away relatively unscathed. Hope its sorted out for you soon.

 I wasn't sure on the bgw either - but it's grown on me. Thinking about replacing it with a ducktail or something smaller. If I take it off now, I'm going to be left with some nasty bolt holes  

I'd leave it on personally. That's the only BGW I've seen on a zed that actually looks good, just my opinion though.

I'm in sunny West Lothian 

There's a meet being organised for this weekend coming if your interested. It's in the regional meets section. I can't make it as the o/h has just reminded me it's our wedding anniversary and we're away for the weekend. It's another new member that's trying to get it arranged

Welcome.........loving that Zed . What part of God's country are you from ?

Hey fella, what about you? You free?

Possibly mate, but it would be a late decision on coming for me I'm afraid. Just got so much on atm and not enough time 

I'd be up for a meet depending on time, venue etc. I've just moved house so got a lot on atm but would try to make it

Welcome mate, good looking car

Epic work mate. Just read through the whole post. Pity photo bucket have taken out so many of your earlier post photos . Kudos to all your efforts and graft

You'd still need to declare the install, even if no bottle fitted. Quite how an insurer would choose to define that risk I don't know, but certainly if you're intending on having any of it on display I definitely wouldn't risk it. Plus, if you have a big accident and then a guy comes out to inspect the damage, they'll be very quick to invalidate your cover when they see you have a kit installed, even if there's no bottle. I suspect you'd have a hard time in court not sounding like an extra from a FnF film too, should you try and argue your case.

 

For me, that's not something small that you could get away with, like a lightened flywheel. It'll be fairly obvious what it is, even at a cursory glance. 

Exactly how I see it Dan, not one for not declaring even the smallest of mods as you know so reckon I'll be down to just a few company's to choose from and even then not sure if I can get a multi car policy. Hopefully one of the member insurance guys can chime in

I offered up that option to them but because the rest of the system was installed they wouldn't touch me 

Yeah that was kind of the answer I was getting from my current insurer. TBH though I wouldn't be using the NOS on the road as 450 + ponies is enough but want it for the drag strip use.

As title, is there multi car policies for modded cars ?. Asked my own insurance company but didn't really get the answer I was looking for and they don't like NoS modded cars.

Looking at buying a 450 bhp car as standard and want to throw some money at it chasing numbers, not going to spend more than 5k on top of the £10k for the car to chase the numbers so hence NoS. Want to build a 1/4 mile munching bullet and looking to get 600bhp+.

But it's also going to be a regular use road car, so looking at the Audi s / rs models. What Insurance company's would insure it and my modded Z under the one policy.......If any ??

If it was me, I'd use the money as my contribution and finance the rest.....say up to an £8k priced car. The £3K (approx) on finance over 3 or 4 years would be circa £100.00 / month, nowt in real terms considering the Zed isn't a cheap daily car. That way your (hopefully) buying a gid yin and will have been looked after. Even better idea, buy from an established member off here who will probably have a build thread on their car.

Lots of abused Zeds around due to them getting more affordable of late so go in with your eyes open and perhaps even get a member off here to go view a couple with you, plenty of members up and down the country willing to help and be prepared to travel for the right one. Gid luck
