hi

i was just perusing insurance sites seeing which cars are insurable for me and i tried a cavalier sri (with 2.0 8v transplant in mind) and i got a very good quote! what is the situation with transplanting an engine into a corsa and insuring it? obviously it will go up a bit but how much? i have heard that the insurers base it on the donor car?

any help would be good!

thanks
tom

adrian flux matey, they only want extra £50 a year to do 1.6 16V conversion including velos torque tube, chip, induction kit, exhaust in total it is 789quid form me (im 20 with 2NCB) so it shouldnt be too much more for a standard 2ltr 8v. give em a call mate they are well helpfull

i can see how this may be confusing! but i don't want a cav sri - i want the engine out of one to put in my corsa! i think if the insurance companies want to scam more money, they will have thought about this too
