Try Adrian Flux (I think they're site sponsors), or A-Plan (Newbury) - they should be able to help you.

Try Reis motorsport insurance. I've just insured my heavily modified track car with them, the price was only £50 more than the cheapest unmodified quotation (I'm 35, 9 years NCB - no points) and it includes cover for 6 track days.

Also cheaper than Adrian Flux.

Tried Admiral?
They seem to charge you a few quid pet modification.
25 quid more for me after having coilovers...

Are any of the bigger companies OK with remapping?? I had to go through A-PLan for my C5, but was wondering what folks with 700BHP are finding?? :shock:

In the past Admiral entertained the map on my B5, your best bet is probably a broker as they are much more flexible on what they can offer.

Slightly different question, for those of you that are stage 2, who insures you? Admiral won’t cover the power increase so looking for alternative, ideally someone with multi car as I have the better half’s S1 to insure too.
