With that power/torque/noise, VTEC comes under the acceptable loss category.

Might get an insurance quote from Mr Flux out of curiosity.

And the increase in my premium if I fit an LS1 engine (350 hp and 365 lb·ft) and upgrade the brakes (unspecified type) is an increase in policy of......


















































£288.90

(Yes, two hundred and eighty eight pounds 90p increase).

Total premium - £750.

Time to put the feelers out in terms of fitting costs.......

I'm genuinely stunned by that.

I was all set to expect some comedy figure...

I was thinking they'd just quote you a flat 2k and be done with it!

Wonder what the purists would say about a 2.5 inline V6 tdi in there
