What is it you drive again?
Good cars, I like mine, don't think they are as fast as everybody makes out but not the slowest thing on the road.
I agree, my boxed one is 'nippy' but from what you hear people come out with you'd think they were a rocket. Still at 40+ mpg, you cant complain.

Thats your personal opinion.
However they are popular for a reason

ebay, they seem to go for massively varying prices though.
I've got 2 for £120 now, I think that's a fair enough price, some do go cheaper though.
It does make a massive difference to the car.

How did the conversation go when calling your insurance company? I'd want to have it all legit etc. U2U if you prefer.

I didn't say I had it fitted, I said I've got one

You would have to be extremely unlucky to be caught out for not declaring the box. It could be removed in literally 20 seconds if needed.

Same boxes fit, it's the older 8v engine though.
I've just remembered that's a lie, you do get 120 16v versions, which is just a 150 with a different map, i've never seen one though.
