Why bother?

Just don't cream the knackers off the car for the last few miles of the journey. Some insurance companies will void your policy as well if you use one.

Almost as pointless as putting a dumpvalve on an RST imho. Save the money for some more power rather than a toy to impress your mates with

I really hope you have declared your mods otherwise you effectively have no insurance.

If you don't drive the car like a complete foreskin for the last few miles you don't need to sit in the car. These are old cars now and good ones are getting rarer. Don't be a twat with it

You must be lucky then as two insurers I spoke to said my policies theft cover would be void if I used one. Not if it was fitted only if it was used.
