I was interested in buying a Super charged roaster that was on eBay not so long ago.....I was getting ridiculous quotes of "upto" £900 .....in the end the insurance company said they would not insure it as it had doubled in power...This was despite the fact that the seller was already insured by them with all mods declared and I had his insurance certificate in front of me which they then proceeded to say that he wasn't insured with them.
I did enquire about a lesser powered one that was on eBay last week......"apparantly" he had a stage 1 kit that was putting out 280bhp....he had only done 1500 miles on it since having it fitted and said the crank had snapped after only doing 500miles and it was now fitted with a hardened crank....he had no Dyno sheet or receipt for the new crank so I gave it a miss.....it's not the first time that I've heard of the crank snapping......do you know why this happens?
