cheers fred, asking price is over £100 so give that a miss then :)

What do you guys think to these, thinking of buying one for my 172cup http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&p=242VK384RS1H1 will it make a difference with inlets matched, remap, cold feed and bmc kit? Look forward to your replies. Sunburn

so, question is, should i declare the engine change with the insurance company as its a like for like change?

I got quoted about £70-80 more to, for adding in brembo discs and ds2500 :(

the mods do effect it yes, but quotes without anything other than a standard replacment engine knocked my prem. up also

Cheers Daz, Can anyone find me the correct part i need? bonnet release cable for a 172cup Quickie...will this work??? http://www.machine7.com/product.php?xProd=2221&xSec=1453

Engine conrod snapped so had to have a transplant engine which was exactly the same spec. standard 172cup engine. Was listed under modifications for engine as I have inlets matched + remap.

Just renewed my insurance and was dissapointed to find that your premium goes up if you have (like in my case) a engine replacement. (standard like for like) how that can effect your insurance ill never knowafter all the there are no changes to the performance of the car.

cheers edde but i think your post is missing some words :) :) :) dont quite understand it lol can you say again.

Well, unfortunately, like most people my job depends on me being able to get to work, and going down the small claims route will simply take too much time. therefore, i have managed to source a replacement engine which is 27k compared to my current 56-7k one. Hoping to be back driving again by...
