I've just renewed my insurance , moved from the company I've been with for the last two years.
Now if anyone remembers when I fitted a 2.0 diff to my 24v and told the insurance about it because it was a mod I got a surprising reply saying there was no additional increase in the premium.
Now I always though this was a mistake on their part but i had it written on my details so i assume i'm covered.
Anyway I assumed this time with the new insurance company they would pick it up and i'd get a hefty quote.
But no...
"As the part fitted to the vehicle is from a lower performace model there will be no additional premium!"
Now as this mod takes about a second and a half off your 0-60 time it is a huge performance mod,
I just wonder if I increased the engine BHP enough to give me the same performance what the premium would be ;
Definitely a wee loophole

Highlandman, you're far too honest for this world
Who's to know you've changed the diff ?
Anyhoo, the diff, while it may increase your 0-60 time, isn't really a performance item as the engine output is the same and the car's top speed is relatively unaltered.

erm true but it makes it a LOT quicker off the mark, which I reckon is an improvement in performance however you look at it
