Hiya, I have a VTR at the moment but I want to change the engine to a 16v just tried ringing up Elephant and they wont quote me on an engine conversion.

I rang up Sky and they wanted £4800 on a standard VTR?

At the moment I'm paying 948 with Elephant on my standard VTR.

Help please?

I'm 20, 0ncb, 2 years and 9 months experience and car would be social use only.

buy a vts, it's cheaper.

Sounds believable, they'd of wanted 1400.

You got another sax! Should have kept the TB beast and dropped it in.
My quote on a vtr is only £120 more than a furio but no-where will insure me on a furio with an R engine. Get an S yo!

Your NCB is likely the main cause of them refusing you insure a conversion.

You are basically saying'

'I am a high risk driver with zero no claims, can I stick a bigger and more powerful engine in my car?'

Elephant were good for mods with me but Im 23 with 3 years NCB

Engine conversion will likely be more than just buying a VTS anyway
