Insurance....merged Topic....

[Guest australiz]

Hi,

Just purchased a 04 XR6T 2 weeks ago, and was thinking of putting an APS kit on.

I was wondering what the implications will be for my insurance.

Can anyone help out here.

Cheers Pete

Welcome to the Site

You will find that AAMI is popular with some modded T owners.

If you are really young or want to go all out, Just Cars will insure anything.

Oh, and there are now more options than just APS when it comes to making a fast T :banghead:

Thanks,

I live in Tassie and all we have here is an APS rep in Hobart, I guess I could put my car on the boat to melbourne, that might give me a few choices.

What other kits would you reccommend other than APS?

I want to make sure I get a well engineered solution, that will go well, but be totally reliable as well.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers Pete

Pete,

I would wait for a few more months.

If you want a Kit then APS is a very good choice, but the Piggyback ECU's are a bit old skool now, as the Edits have been very popular.

APS still make the best intercoolers and exhausts for the T.

APS will (appartently) be releasing a Edit solution, but this was due in March05, but we have heard nothing for the past 6 weeks on the new (if any) release date.

Have a search through the site as there are heaps of threads about the options. Nizpro and HPF are both highly recommended melbourne tuning houses, APS's head office/workshop is also in Melbourne.

Enjoy the site and your car.

Thanks for the heads up.

I might look in to the edit thing a bit more. I'm really enjoying the website.

I take it the edit thing actually rewrites the software for the cars existing ECU.

Sounds like a better solution if it works.

I really enjoying the car even in standard trim, much to the disgust of my betrayed Expensive Daewoo die hard friends.

I actually set out to buy a commodore, but after driving the Falcon, for me there was no comparison.

I really enjoy reading all the posts here, and am looking forward to making the mods to XR6. in the next few months.

thanks for your time

Cheers Pete

Sounds like a bargain, I was quoted about $2600 for a phase 1 fitted and tuned.

I'll keep my eyes on the forum and see what turns up.

I really like those boost guages that fit in a fairmont style clock bezel also.

thanks for your input.

Cheers Pete
