    It will come down mate....but a 2.0ltr valver is unrecognisable from a 1.8 one if the insurance were to look at it

    not if i looked at it.

    i would test the limiter look at the manifold and then measure the piston bores. lol

    yeah right..

    whack on a valver manifold and increase limiter and you'll be rite
