We will go with an offer of a water cooled 6psi centrifugal SC system installed driveaway price of AUD$3800 + tune cost

That wont help anyone much except for those near to us in Qld Australia

I'll be saving now and driving to QLD once im satisfied that the car is ok whilst under warranty.

Does that include engineering at all?? (never majorly modded an engine so unsure of how/when that comes into play.)

dont want to have an insurer tell me my cover is void because i strapped a SC onto it and didnt get the piece of paper saying it was done right.

Then insure it with Shannon's.

shannons dont require engineering certificates?

which effectively makes it an illegal mod...?

[inz]

All my mods are covered and none of those are engineered.

If you have a mod done that requires an engineering certificate in your state of registration, and you don't have that certificate - your car is effectively unregistered and therefore uninsured.

That's bullshit.

Call Shannon's.

If your car is unroadworthy then your insurance MAY be void, ie bald tyres.

If you have a supercharger and someone rear ends you, you're still covered.

If you crash into a tree and you're speeding, then it isn't your superchargers fault, it's your fault. As long as the brakes work as they should and your accident is a result of driver error, You'd still be covered.

Unroadworthy is not the same as being unregistered... That's why defect notices were invented.

Some insurance companies will ask you for an engineering certificate, some won't. Shannon's have never asked me for a certificate of compliance for any of my modifications, and it's an extensive list.

Call them and confirm before you start guessing "whether you're covered"

.... dude take a chill pill...

and for starters i think you need to read the fine print in your policy.. because i think you find that any modifications as mentioned require an engineering cert for them to be legal.. of course noone really does this but there is a risk that your insurer will use it as an excuse to void your policy and that risk is larger the more involved the mod is.

most likely they'll say that because you hadnt told them or it wasnt engineered they would have refused you insurance or charged you more had you been truthful

at the end of the day their aim is to make money.. PS they dont do this by paying out claims. Thereby it is someone's job within that insurance firm to assess insurance claims and find ways out of paying it.

Useless Factoid: For every dollar Australian motor vehicle insurance companies spend on investigations, they save $6 in claims.
