I think my insurance guy just didnt know hat I actually did, chpituning is officially allowed but the downpipe was tricky I thought but I was wrong 
When i had my amarok I had a serious problem with them because I changed the turbo, downpipe, wrote together with my mechanic a custom chip profile fitting to the new config and after all that the clutch died in the middle of a city causing a massive blockage until my car got towed away. 4WD is appearantly a pain to tow away if the difflock is on :lol: the next year I had to pay about 2,3K on top of my normal insurance because of that.

Increase in value of the car has little effect on the insurance cost for young drivers, it's not quite as logical as it seems and better cars aren't more to insure, it's more dependant on how likely you are to crash it. And paying off the person you crashed into is far more costly than repairing your little pile of crud.
If your looking at small cars Shaun get some quotes on similar model diesels, they tend to let you have a larger displacement and a turbo without raping you for it. Back when I was little it was cheaper to insure a 1.5DCi Clio than a 1.0/1.2 petrol for my friends. While they were both pretty dismal cars the diesel would at least do a more convincing burnout and a ton when you found a straight long enough. Cheaper tax and fuel bills too. It might not hold true now diesels are getting more popular in small cars but thats what I would do. Just thought I would mention.

Mine is almost mint.
You know how you were saying about price not being different depending on your gender Kambo? Isn't that only recently though. I swear as well that every girl I know, their insurance is cheaper than us males. For us males round here they start at around £2200.

born in a.....
They're pretty popular around Cambridge now.
They're pretty much the default second car for most middle class families. That, a Nissan Figaro or a Fiat 500.

Females are worse drivers, its a fact, loads of stats out there
Its been about a year since the gender thing i think.....i think you live in a high crime area as they are known as
But the females get cheaper insurance? Its like males are worse, or drive like idiots at a young age.
Probably, not so much my specific area but as a whole...errr..ish. But Liverpool and Manchester are higher. Southport is a quieter seaside town.
