Sure you want to get it done on that date? lol!
NAh mate, good luck - hope it all goes well! Make sure you declare it with insurance and DVLA (Y)

With this conversion taking place, will insurance companies just see this 1.3 converted Micra and a standard 1.3 Micra from the factory?

 

[Swiper]

they will more than likely class it as a modified 1.0 so they can get more cash out of you. it'd be easier and cheaper just to buy a 1.3. and that is coming from experience.

Well I don't know from experience, but that is personally what I'd think they'd see it as too. At the end of the day it is a 1.0 Micra that they already knew of with a 1.3 engine conversion in. I doubt they'd see it as just a 1.3 Micra. You are enhancing the power, after all.

We'd rate this as the 1.3 but that doesn't necessarily mean it would cost the same to insure as a standard 1.3.
This is not the sort of car you can insure via online price comparison sites etc.. due to the engine conversion, the car will need a specialist insurer.

Companies like flux won't insure anyone under 21 with a engine conversion...reason why so many novas corsa's etc are not declared

 

[g2oo8]

yeah all just pay what ever it cost to get it insured..
looking forward to it now though.. 4days to go

[joesouthgate]

because his is a 1.4 dynoed at over 100bhp and a 1.3 with a 4 branch will be more like 95.

 

[g2oo8]
