  4. Today I will be bitching about insurance

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted · Edited by soul45

    Seems we are cash cows to be drained of as much money as possible...is there a better way??

    don't see many on here writing their cars off...thinks give me £400 a year regardless of mods

    top value at £3000 get 20 cars so that's £8000 as long as only two cars 10% are total scrap £125 each

    I'm £2250 up on the year..happy days

    if only..there's more to it that that but you get the idea

    Got a phone call yesterday from my broker telling me that my insurance is due next month and would I like to renew it...this being the end of my second year with these guys last lear was almost the same as the year before £355 fully comp.so I says yes but how much is it? "well sir it's gone up"..."you may have read about in the paper"..."all these false claims.blah blah"

    so tell me how much then....£575!!!!!now this shit happened when I was with the post office..two good years them blam... so gets on the web.....£315 with Esure fully comp if I had said yes renew it they would have stiched me for £260 seems if you are new you get a better deal...the brokers use big firms (lots of banks) to underwrite the policy they are the guys who say how much for the risk of covering you(that price is not for discounting) then the broker adds his bit to it to it..he has no risk he just fills in some forms and thank you very much...so is this a regular scam trying to stich me evry two years or is it just that the banks need to make more money somehow...or it could all be in my own tiny mind...in any case still £260 better off

    if you must run Nos use a direct port wet system with controler you will aslo need to have a piggyback AFIC

    like AEM fic to control the timing (needs retarding when on shot) you will need colder plugs. if you can get that lot you'll be good for 100 shot...you can go cheap with just one nozzle before the TB but you get uneven hit on all pots you'll get a lot of det and in the end a melted engine..hope that helps

    What type of pipe bender is it? I bought a cheap one off fleabay to make the roll cage for my tractor, and let me tell you it was hard work! Admittedly it was 48mm pipe with 3mm wall, but was very easy to kink if you weren't concentrating. :(

    Got a plasma cutter too and must say it a cracking bit of kit so easy to use!

    Always fancied a tig welder did some back in college makes such a nice job, will be interested to see how you get on. Sadly gas is dear stuff for what id do with one I dont think I could justify it plus its just as easy to use the MIG at work :P

    nice work there...fill the pipes with water then sand..goes in real tight and you can bend no problem...i use a MIG with CO2 and it does the job

    but CO2/Argon mix is better

    as for interior being crap gen 7 is pretty shabby to say the least! so i would say that the fiesta is on a par interior wise if not slightly better

    the gen 7 GT is nice inside...makes the fester look shite...never been in any other gen 7...fester is a cheap car built cheaply

    sounds like a cheap bit of kit

    yes a bargain..to cheap to miss

    make me a roll cage!

    if I do one for me then yes I can do others....be nice in stainless

    Could well be up for a system with duplex, what sort of money will you be looking at?

    early days yet ,I have a few things I want to do myself but in the future I could well be up for knocking out sone stainless headers and exhausts.

    but in the meantime I'll price the tubing up
