Shannons Are tops !

Just got off the phone with Shannons
As some will know - ive had my insurance with them for my ta22 and now Gt4 for 3 years now - and so far they have been awesome
Seeing as ive recently started modifyign my gt4 - I gave them a call to bump up my insurance cover into the " modified comprehensive " class
for less than 150 dollars more than what i was already paying- after some negotiating - i am now abole to go TOTALLY NUTS with the gt4 - and do ANYTHING to it i want - as long as its legal ..
How sweets that!
Bring on the modifications - MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! My Gt4 can now move legally into " evolution 2 ! "
Kick arse engine turbo and drivetrain territory !

Age has ALOT to do with shanons - as per before - they wont do compo for under 21's as far as i know - and your pushing it to get 3rd party for under 21's too - which is a shame ..
Though they have a point - younger agegroup drivers are a greater insurance risk for them - they are not a big company like say AAMI or NRMA - who can cover so many youngsters

classique: I'm 21...i went for the quote about a yr or so ago so it prolly doesnt count...as you stated they dont like people under 21 much 
should give them a call...my 4agte should be special enough 
what ecu would you go with? microtech??
sounds good...pics look awesome too. Nice ride

thats wierd - they were on the ball when i approached them at 21 for my ta22 - was told then that they usually dont cover under 21's and ive heard this from others as well that have approached them.
if you can prove to them re the 4agte - that your building it to be a clubcar/show car - not a street racer type wanker ride ( pardon the terminology but you know what i mean ) they will probably play 
I mean if they are happy to insure my gt4 - and let me go mad with it ( within legal/engineering boundrys ) they should ok a Sprinter with a 4agte ..
Just be polite , and HONEST about what you are doing/have done/plan to do ..
re Ecu - its turning out that ill probably be going a Wolf unit .. im in negotiations with them to use mine as the testbed for their standalone st185/3sgte unit - its not a piggyback - its a direct ECU swap - but still uses the same loom/sensors - so less fiddlyshit ..
ta for the car thumbs up too

Have you guys tried just cars insurance? I have my TA23 with 3TGTE turbo and at 18 years of age third party was like $300. They also insured my brother who was 20 at the time with a 13 second turbo nissan exa for a similar price

yea im with shannons, when I had my ae82 and I was 18 I had to go with them when I put sports exhaust on cos aami wouldn't even 3rd party me.
They now do my ae86 4age no worries, $600 3rd party.
Asked about if I put gze in and they said no worries just another $100 a year.
im 21 now though I might have to go do some haggling with them as there are a few cheaper prices I am seeing here

look at it this way - i haggled down from 2200 a year , for modified - to 1800
Im 25 though ..
I also haggled them to get me on rating one as well when i got the Gt4 - and they were cool with that
It just pays to be honest - and polite - and show them your a genuine enthusiast - not just a rice head looking for cheap cover
