Yeah as @will300 said some are open on Saturdays, plus some have online forms you can fill in beforehand and ask for a call back to save some time giving details over the phone. Definitely worth a ring around imo. Also bear in mind if you plan on doing more modifications a mod friendly insurer may save you money in the long run even if the annual premium is more expensive. Each mod I added with admiral normally cost £50+ a time. Now it's just a 5 min phone call (with somebody who actually knows something about cars and modifying) and no charge. Even adding a supercharger taking the car to 300bhp would only cost me £180! Having like for like cover is also something to bear in mind, even though regular insurers will add mods to your policy, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are actually covered. So if you spend £1000+ on a set of coilovers for example and have a crash they may not replace them like for like, just with OEM parts which obviously aren't worth as much.

If you've modified then you can probably get cheaper quotes from some of the specialist insurers such as Adrian Flux, Greenlight, Chris Knott etc. These also come with extra perks such as non-power mods being included free depending on policy, cheap track day cover, like for like parts cover etc. I'm with Adrian Flux now and have found them amazing so far. Even covered my TD NA remap free of charge. Used to be with Admiral too but they were absolutely abysmal when it came to make a claim. Had a crash 4 cash style incident and they refused to even look at my dashcam footage proving that I was not at fault. (I even had to pay extra on my policy to declare the camera!) Ended up having to go through the insurance ombudsman to sort everything out. They even tried to keep me from moving and tried to make me accept a £1000 increase by saying they might be able to recover it and refund me after renewal but wouldn't be able to if I moved! I'd avoid them with a barge pole if I was you!

SOLD!

For sale is my Milltek Secondary decat pipe which has been on the car for roughly a year and a half. £100 collection only from Staffordshire or I can bring it along to a future meet such as Japfest. Any questions please ask.

SOLD! - Will relist the decat pipe separately

Finally got round to taking some pics of my old Milltek exhaust to put up for sale. This includes the non-resonated catback with revised flexi section and 2nd decat pipe. Ideally I'd like to get rid of these in one sale but if there's no interest then I'll be open to offering them separately. The catback has been on the car for about 2 years with the backbox section being replaced with a brand new one 5 months before it was taken off the car. The decat pipe has been on for about a year and a half. £350 collection only from Staffordshire, or can be bought along to a future meet such as Japfest. Any questions let me know.

I have the UEL manifold. I used to have a non-res Milltek on before but changed it for the TD resonated version over fear it would be too loud

Yep, I got measured at 95.7db static and I still have the 2nd cat in place with the resonated TD exhaust and manifold. Was breaking the 87.5db drive by limit at 5.5k rpm. Don't quite understand how everyone else's seem to be so much quieter.

Catback provisionally sold, decat may be available separately pending sale.

So I have this single tyre left from my old set of PS4's that I've just replaced. Figured I may as well see if it would be of any use to somebody before taking it down the tip. Tyre has 3mm of tread left on it. £15 collection only, or I can bring it to a future meet such as Japfest.

Put me down for 75 mins and some skill please

Didn't know OcUK had such a car community. I'll pop along, although somebody may need to keep me away from buying new PC bits

Count me in!

My Non-res Milltek may be coming off soon if you're interested

I was planning on getting there just after it starts, like 8:45ish. Weather is forecast to be cold and wet so doubt people will stick around too long. Plus more likely to get a spot in the paddock or on the track rather than shoved away into the backup car park.

The signup for the Goodwood PistonHeads meet has gone live today for anybody that might be interested in going (Link Below). Can already see a couple 86's signed up. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonheads/goodwood-sunday-service-and-track-day-16-17-12/37161

Same day I'm heading to Goodwood and London otherwise I'd come along. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one.

Sounds like a plan, what time were you thinking of meeting up?

Bump, only a few spaces left now

I might do Bedford if I've found a new job by then

PM'd

Yeah got mine earlier, if you haven't had yours I can PM you the pass.
