NOS insurance help!!

[tristan-clio]

hi all hows life? i need advice on gettin me 16v clio insured with nos. so far im payin £504 for a 92 spec valver with cams, full exhaust with 4 brancher, chip & induction kit. company im with cant insure nos and same goes for most other companies iv tried. adrain flux said they can as long as i get the kit fitted by an approved dealer which aint a problem. thing is they want £3400!! and i cant even have it connected while on public roads, just on track days for which im not covered!! any suggestions please folks??

How old are you if 21 or over the cliosport insurers (Greenlight) are supposed to be good for mods (nitrous,roll cages etc).

 

[tristan-clio]

yeah im 24. i think the prob is iv never actually bothered passin me test yet!!

 

[Martin]

 

[tristan-clio]

haha wots that meant to mean?!! yes im a learner in a 16v

 

[Adams_16v]

bizzare. get ur test passed then! cant be good crusin wi ya mam in the passenger and the Ls on

 

[Martin]

So you want to get insured on a valver with nitrous before youve passed your test?? Im surprised your quote was only 3 grand! Get your test passed before you start on the Nos!

 

[Clart]

talk about trying to run before u can walk. A leaner driver in a valver with nos sounds like a disaster waiting to happen

 

[Roamer]

well, I dunno why you aint got your licence (Maybe you lost it for something earlier in life??) but come on man, get real for a sec, you own a valver, youve installed a N2O system (Is it really a NOS system??) and you expect ANYONE to seriously touch you on insurance???

 

[Type_Mo]

I thought nos was illigal ?

 

[Roamer]

Mo, dont even start.......

its not illegal, never has been, end of, I really hate people stating that one.

<sigh> oh well, back to the world of dreams....

Its not illegal if you display the relevant warning stickers relating to compressed gas etc

 

[adiclio16v]

i jus dont tell em hehe if i smashed my car i wudnt claim its not worth losin me no claims

adi

 

[Martin]

Apparantly you dont even have to display the stickers, I read it somewhere wizards of nos site I think.

 

[stan*]

its only illegal if not declared as a modification 2 ur insurer

 

[tristan-clio]

yeah iv never bothered passin me test, never been arsed really. the valver is a smart enuff motor that i use daily. it had nos before but i blew it up hence the new engine etc. most people reckon its a fake valver cos of the L plates!

 

[Adams_16v]

so u obviously cant drive alone then?

how did u manage to blow it up?

 

[bill]

what noz

 

[tristan-clio]

all me mates r usually out with me anyway so at least it stops me bein a loner!! it was a bit rough when i bought the car 2 yr ago & its just worn away. altho i guess the nos didnt help much!! nevermind new lump is in & runnin sweet. wot a difference in power!

 

[1.6 16v]

let me get this right without going into details- you drive this car illegally and have been doing so for 2 years?

dont flame me if im wrong just want to get the facts

 

[Adams_16v]

not illegally, he got learner insurance and has Ls on but can only drive if his mate who is over 21 is with him and has a full license!

why not just get teh feker passed? go on a 2 week crash course or summat!

Have a release mechanism to remove the bottle if anything happens. Lob it in the nearest bush should worst come to worst.

Surely they cant complain if you have the plumbing but no gas - if they do, say its just for track days, which they dont cover you for!

Hence it shouldnt concern them.

I know in a real world this may not work but anythings worth a try!

 

[tristan-clio]

1.6 16v i do drive legally as a learner driver!

matt16v i already asked em bout just havin the injectors plumbed in but not no bottle connected & they argued that if any prt of the system is in then itl be void.
