I forgot about royal air mail too lol the escort has a serious rs turbo or cossie lump the corsa is a zlet I think and the vw well its a vw only good for putting airbags on lol

Dave_Gilbert

Love it. You would be in another very select group

aswell as probably the only supercharged van.

5M1THY

Only 2.2 van only supercharged and one of 4 royal something lol trouble is they never used the astra van so it would be as relevant as that silly vw lol

Actually on that note I'm trying to get traders insurance but it's a long process and my current insurance don't know about all the mods which isn't legal and I'm not like that I'll happily pay for it but can anyone suggest good modified insurance as I have a feeling when I mention forced induction there going to tell me to do one lol

milo

Yep in the same boat when the it comes to get the charger fitted, I'll be giving the boy racer choice a ring....... adrian flux mine done

corsaZ22se

im with Adrian flux, cheapest ive found, all mods listed the corsa costs me around £680/year.

5M1THY

Cheers guys ill ring them as my current insurance didn't like the fact it's not the original engine but did insure it at a cost lol
I was thinking of registering with the dvla as a 2.2 so it's on the logbook and system then it really will be the only registered 2.2 🙂 I spend to much money on it for it not to be 100% legit I do not want it taken from me over a few hundred quid in insurance it's just not worth it

milo

So what do u pay for your tax atm?

5M1THY

It's a 1.6 petrol lol it used to be legal to put a bigger engine in and not declare it but since the new tax rules came in you have to tell the dvla of all engine changes so again I want it legal.. also if someone hit me and wasn't insured properly I'd be fuming so I can't moan if I'm not myself.. We've got to play the game I don't want to be the one that ruins it for others

5M1THY

This van and it details are funny the tax disc says 1.6 petrol but you type the Reg anywhere it says 1.6 td you can't even get a 1.6 td wtf lol this is why I want it sorted It can't be wrong then

5M1THY

Swift cover won't insure it 🙁

waiting on a reply from Adrian flux I'd happily pay a grand right now for it to be all correct but the list of changes is mega lol

Got mine back this morning bud. I declared everything, charger, bodywork etc came back at £445. I would expect it to go up slighty when i call them to make sure it covers everything regarding to the charger. I was expecting a lot more.

Dave_Gilbert

Thats not bad at all.

Mine 340 standard with 8years no claims as off today.

8years since I first insured a car.

got a quote from Adrian flux everything declared plus sc and my missus for £605 fully comp that's even down to the flocked console.. I'm taking the van of the road completely ASAP and sending the tax back to then sort the paperwork out and re tax it as a 2.2 it will then be the ONLY registered 2.2 van in the country I've ordered all the bits to sort my car out hopefully get it motd next week

Dave_Gilbert

1 of akind, I like that

5M1THY

Me too 🙂 I need to be quick with the car as I really don't like using the van atm
