you can pick up a decent V6 cdx for £700ish mark

err, if you swap the engine to a V6 you need to tell your insurance co and they'll charge you V6 rates else you will not have valid insurance!

Shop around for insurance - why it is costing you so much?

My 2.0 does everything I need it to (for now) ::)

Although I will be droping a v6 motor in it :)
Anyway, how did the decat pipe work as I am thinking about one.

If you are paying that for insurance now, it will be a lot more for a V6! ::) ::)
