    No I'm not. Highly unlikely they'll know and if they do I'll say I bought it like that and was unaware
  • While they generally will not let insurers escape their liabilities, particularly to third parties, this is one area of fraud where the ombudsman has ruled in favour of insurers in the past, the presence of significant undeclared modifications. That means that you run the risk of your policy being voided ab initio , which if they only discover it at the time of a claim against you could see you in all sorts of trouble, both financial and legal.

    Why not? The cost wouldn't be applied to you, due to your great theory of free insurance you have purveyed on this forum.


    Seriously though, you need to insure these mods, or as mentioned before just buy a quick car to start with.

    It's not as if the car actually exists, it's another in the long line of cars DM "owns".

    That engine fits into a Toyota Yaris. Even in standard power trim you will get a better BHP per ton than an M3 and approaching that of a Veyron.

    Buy a Yaris and stick that engine into it.

    If your good i can tell you how to get more power with an aerosol of a personal grooming nature.

    Why would they believe you, when there is ample evidence of systematic dishonesty?

    By the time you've fettled with your accord it will be far less reliable than a factory spec M3.

    Highly doubt that. M3's are generally ok cars but they aren't the most reliable according to the Power Survey reliability index and they're extremely expensive to fix when gone wrong. An Accord 2.4 litre Type S is generally the better car in most areas.

    I see what you've done there. Classic misdirection.
