Just telling you guys what i found out yesterday when renewing my insurance.

I am currently with AAMI. I asked them how my policy would be affected if i modified my car.

They said you are allowed 2 modifications without paying extra premium. More than 2 modifications they would not cover at all.

Rang Just Cars. The first modification added $70 to the premium. The next 5 did not have any effect. Any modification after that added another $70 to premium. They allow for unlimited modifications.

I am also wit AAMI

the 2 mods are classified as "performance"

anything that is aesthetic is not included in this.. ie, interior, lights, sunroof.

I also looked at JustCars but to do the mods i wanted was an extra $200 to what im paying...

what mods were u thinking of?? and wat premium did u get from JustCars? (jst want to compare..)

(23 yo Male driver here)

AAMI is good if like those extra benefits rent a car etc.

I'm currently with AAMI and Just cars will cover me for the same price with mods included.

I'm turning 25 in a few months so i'll just stick with AAMi and have them cover me for all mods.

AAMI charge me just over 1000 and just cars would charge me $920 for a stock sportivo with entertainment system.

The price variations i think are due to the areas the cars are stored in.

I think Sydney premiums are higher then other states. (what else is new)

It doesnt matter what mod you do.....if its a mod to an exhaust for an example..then u say i modified the exhaust and they count that as 1...etc etc

Some insurers work on a points system, where different mods attract different points, doubled if you're under 25, and if those points add up to a certain amount or more, you may not be offered coverage.

If you do take out their insurance, the points will determine if you pay a higher premium or a higher excess (either for certain events or drivers, or across the policy).

NRMA allows u to lower 30mm - so tell them that u lowered 30mm - what is 5mm diff dennis ?? U can blame it on sag. even stock corollas all settle at slightly different heights.,

I asked NRMA and its ur INTENDED lowering height. Not actual. :)

thats weird, i was just doing some quotes on the NRMA/AAMI website and a person due to turn 25 in <3 months costs $1571, whereas a person already 25 is $1607... WTF? (AAMI was $1721 for a male 25).

And this is on a STOCK corolla Conquest 2003 auto.... is there something that im missing here?

Just cars on the other hand quoted $1121... (24 or 25).

License aquired 1998, with no driving offences in the last 5 years (ie 60~65 NCB).

Is there something that im missing here?

You guys are all forgettign the main factor. Where you ive.

When i lived in the west of sydney i paid close to $2000 when i was 20. Then in the same year i moved to north shore and it went down to $670 for the next year. Depends on the theft rate in the suburb you live in.

20yo male, stock sportivo, RACQ $1100

Did that figure change much with your sports muffler fitted?

No, like you said the points system. Also i think they (person a dealt with) put down as minor mod, so more or less didnt affect my premium just the points went up.

ignoring the suburb part, but wtf is wrong with NRMA?

For the suburb im in (2193) a 25 year old costs more than a 24 year old!!! :angry:

(For JustCars another Suburb such as Ermington (2115) its more expensive than Canterbury (2193), yet NRMA has Ermington cheaper - I just dont get these underwriters!)

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.
