Default Insurance help needed for cars with ECU

howdi all

I am considering buying a moded rex and want to find out about insuring the sucker...I have read the sticky insurance thread many times but want some feedback from you guys with ECU's or ecutek...(declared on policy)
The only insurance companies it appears that insurances a car with "performace" enhancing mods (ecu in particular) is either just cars or shannons. Is this really it?
I have spoken with HBF/RAC/Wesfarmers and they wont touch it. Previous calls to QBE and sgio and they don't cover either..After long discussion with a supervisor at rac they checked with underwriting department and said the ecu is performace enhancing so no good....Shit! performace enhancing is just a nasty side effect of my quest to obtain better fuel economy I told em - but they didn't swallow it!

The excesses and rates on just cars and shannons are too high for me to take so I may just keep my stock 05 wrx but I would prefer to get the modded one!

So any other insurance companies that are ecu friendly?

Thanks fellas! Its appreciated!

Cheers n Beers
