    Kitcars are different. The owner isn't as likely to take it out crash their three year's work into a wall. I did a theoretical quote on mine and it was 150 quid.

    Thats a good price. Shame the Novas arent insurable for similar money.

    Rob did you buy Lee's coil overs?

    Shame I cant convince the broker that I dont intend to put my Nova on its roof after spending 2 years underneath the fecker building it (not to mention the funds involved).

    Why are kit cars so different? Actually I know the answer....

    **** knows why kit cars are so so so much cheaper but its giving me a real incentive to get it sorted and back on the road..... well that and the noise of the straight 6!
