Fair enough matey, What's it like with the box installed? I've heard if you stray of 100 or so the insurance is immediately void, true?
hmmm i havnt heard that plus my insurance seems fine havnt heard anything from my insurance company i mean when i passed my test typical first time driver got the heavy foot so i have had it at 100. the box is ok i suppose i do understand why they do it and its a good idea for first time drivers i think but i have heard a few insurance companys are following this trend with the box's.my only downside to the box is being limited to 6000 miles a year considering i have just passed my test and i love driving im always out in the car and i have used close to half ot it already.

Being a young driver on a black box, limited miles policy, how do your insurer feel about the short shifters, aftermarket wheels etc?
insurance dont mind about the alloys + tints on the car they are on my policy at no extra cost.NateWM said:
Just so you know, it's possible for short shifters to do damage to your synchros. Might be worth asking yourself if it's worth the risk.
really? i did not know this. i thought short shifters just adjusted how far you have to throw your gear stick GTdave91 said:
drive shaft snapped tonight so had to ditch the car hopefully get it sorted really not happy.
As in, put the car in a ditch? Same thing happened to my mate's Civic, think it is the same as yours. Left him stranded in the middle of a roundabout at rush hour! Don't think it cost much to put right, and the car is totally fine now

Got a jump and tried to move car and nothing worked no power steering or ABS im guessing water has got in and damaged somthing.
