Re: WARNING! Modifications and Insurance
Adam,
I will be anxiously awaiting the result of your phone call to NRMA.
To tell you the truth I totally forgot about notifying NRMA about the "twins" mod
Every other chrome bit that I have, side steps, nudge and the rest of it was covered fine with no problems at all.

Re: WARNING! Modifications and Insurance
Thanks Rich,
Your post has just prompted me to give NRMA a call a guess what?
The twins have been added to my policy with no change to my premium whatsoever.
It was a funny moment when I was trying to describe the mod to the lady over the phone and told her the reasons behind the mod (i.e. our muffler being too low for off-road trips) and there was a moment of silence on the other end and the lady said "And you're adding this smaller muffler with twin outlets to the '89 Corolla?" HaHaHa
She was looking at my wife's policy instead of mine LOL
I said nope, it's the exy and we laughed
She said she found it hard to believe that am taking an '89 Corolla off-road!
She did ask me if the cat. converter has been changed in anyway and was happy to approve it when I said it was a Cat-back mod.
I guess we will get in trouble when the time comes to do the header and Cat mod
The twins have been approved and will show on my policy as "body modification" with an explanatory note about the details mod.
Touch wood, I never had any problems with NRMA for any of my previous cars.

Re: WARNING! Modifications and Insurance
The ol' mods and insurance caper.
Now the proud owner of an X-Trail, insurance is great..
If you think insuring a lightly modded X-Trail is painful, spare a thought for me whose previous car (traded it for the X-Trail) was a MY01 Subaru WRX with an APS RT Kit, plus a few other goodies, pulling 300KW @ flywheel and roughly 250KW at all 4 wheels.
Fast = Bloody Oath (0-100km 3.9 sec calder Nov '03)
Insurance = $4000.00 + / Year
