   If you know what your doing it's a piece of piss but if you can do wiring, like I couldn't at the time, you WILL struggle.

   There's no wiring needed if the right loom is obtained.
   
   You have to declare the engine or your insurance is void - do so at your own risk but I wouldn't state it on here - insurance companies aren't stupid

   Itll cost more to insure than a vts, conversions always do.

    That makes no sence, because as far as theyll see it you have a lot more power but a weaker bracking system etc?
    
    When ever ive seen it in the past be it not a saxo, but its always been more expensive. Most people as this guy has said dont want to declare it thats up to them.
