LL's Mk3 1.8t Cab

[LazyLunatic]

Hope you're not thinking of dropping in the 1.8T and not telling the insurance company?

Now we all know LL is stupid.  But surely not that stupid!?

Just kidd'n LL! 

haha if it saves money!!!!

seriously though im going to tell the dvla about the engine change, tell insurance everything. new legal plates too, so when i get pulled or whatever im 100% legal and then there's nothing they can do. Plus it takes the weight off my shoulder and no more worrying about crash/insurance stuff.

AAHHHHAAAA see, more clever than you thought!!

I think before anyone decides anything about how clever anyone is, you should get some quotes with your proposed engine.

I think given that you're 18 it might well stall your plans even if you *can* get a quote on it (which is pretty unlikely).

Good call that DH.

I looked at putting a 1.8 8v gti engine into my mk2 and they wouldn't even give me a quote, but I was fine getting insured on a 16v gti mk3 which is modified and has a much higher value than I set for the mk2

Just from my experience mind but it won't be easy tbh :/

yeah cheers peeps

I believe HIC have the policy that if say, an engine from the mk4 1.8t was put into a different car, it would only take on the Insurance group of the mk4 1.8t

But you have to be 19 to go with HIC. Might be worth phoning Martin up and he may recommend somewhere else (Adrian Flux?) if you're 18.

Yeah but he's going to be using of an engine that is effectively from an S3 if it's running the K04 turbo.

yeah, i do realise this is going to be a t**t to sort out and it didnt even cross my mind until said, great shout DH.

i'll figure something out!

will talk to hic, im 19 in april, and my renewal is in nov. depending on how long it takes to get the engine in, might wait til nov. it wont take that long, but it might take longer than i thought sourcing the parts and planning it!

am going to be investigating insurers though, thanks again guys!

Your sarcasm actually has meaning

My mk3 handles alot better than my mk2 though (just driven both one after another) but im guessing its more to the fact one has PAS and the other doesnt


Insurance will be a problem, end of.
