I'm struggling to get insurance at the minute, Greenlight say they wont insure anyone under the age of 25 if the car is over £17000? Any other recommendations for insurers?

Oh?! They asked me the current market value of my car, so I said around 16K based on what I'd get for it now if I sold it. Was that the right thing to do?! lol.........

Just had a quick search through, finally getting round to having a remap done and maybe a new exhaust if funds will allow.

What's the general consensus on insurance in terms of increased premium? I'm 28 with 5 years ncd and currently insured with esure, who I'm sure will not be interested once I ret the remap.

Cheers

Another quick one on this, reckon I'll have about £1k budget.

From what I've read that should cover a remap and exhaust at either ADS or Awesome. However, if I have to do the two seperately, which should i go for first, the exhaust or remap?

Cheers

....You won't get the full benefit of the remap without the exhaust. Beware - Modding is a very slippery slope! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

....

Do bear in mind that high bhp numbers are not the ultimate goal - Smooth and well shaped curves on the rolling-road plots, backed up by data logs will indicate how driveable and healthy your car is running.

Max bhp numbers vary enormously on different dyno's with different operators and on different days. It's an indication but my advice is to take note of the whole picture.

As many people have already said here, JKM are well respected and for good reason. No-one is saying that there aren't other good tuners/workshops out there but I find JKM both trustworthy and caring as well as having expertise - Hence why I bother to drive 2hrs each way to see them.

Enjoy! :afro:

Well I drive 3 hours each way to see them - so there  :tongue:
