But let's be honest, these are old cars now and we're talking about a relatively small power/torque increase over the original, which simply makes them more driveable in modern traffic - it's not turning them into a racing car.
Equally, if an insurance company were to get involved with writing off a 75/ZT, they're highly unlikely to spend thousands of pounds getting the cars ECU interogated to check what tune is present, as I doubt they'd have the knowledge to even know that a 160 version exists ?
With no visual identification that there's been an increase, I'd be amazed if an insurance assessor has the time, funds or facilities to bother checking whats contained in what must now be deemed as an 'oldie' 
Unless I'm missing something, of course...???  |
The thought had briefly crossed my mind. I think a call to Russ or Jules, since my Mum lives in Chester, is on the cards for the new year.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts and comments.
