Insurance for cars with 26%+ increase in BHP?

[BlackShadow]

Does anybody know any insurance companies which cover vehicles that have an increase in BHP of over 26%? My present insurance company covers up to this limit, with a correspondingly large increas in premiums. However, as soon as you go voer 26%, it is "no quote" time.

I ask as I am thinking of getting hold of an older S3/S4, and then spending some dosh and getting it seriously tuned. The one cost I'm unsure about is the insurance. I know quotes always depend on your personal circumstances, but a list of those companies/brokers, who at least consider 26%+ bhp would help me a lot. [img]images/graemlins/quote.gif[/img]

Thanks for any help guys.

I'm sure Jon will have an option for you. I use Privelege and have no problem with 50% increase in power on an RS4 - they even include the NOZ and the premium is only loaded by 30% [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Also try Greenlight (in Essex) they will quote for well over 26%

30% loadup for 550hp (or whatever it is) before you're running NOS is impressive I'd say! God only knows what NOS'd do to the power figures! I think that's a pretty reasonable loadup! But I suppose it depends what your starting figure is - for me it'd be well up around £5,000 if not more!

IIRC Jon doesn't cover performance mods.

after exhausting all options suggested above, maybe try Barclaycard Motor Insurance, who I'm with.

yeah ironically we do not have good enough facilities to place modified car policies, I would go with andy and recommend Priv. as they will insure anyone if you've got the dosh!

OK. Thanks for all the advice guys. At least if I ring up now, I know that I will get a quote.
