Finally got my 3 rotor FD home

I just got this home today. Alot of people have seen it for sale on the forum. Thanks goes to the previous owner (Jesse) for selling me this. The car is amazing.. I took a few pics today. I thought two other 7's were enough but i guess not..

Congrats, I'm back and forth on going 3 rotor. I've been wondering when you insure your ride, can you get that motor insured if it's involved in a wreck or fire,since it's a engine conversion?

Where are you insurance wise? And I've always wondered, but what kinda gas mileage do those things get?

The 3rotor motor makes up for the lame front bumper and missing headlight covers. Give it some TLC it looks like it needs it. Did you get a deal on it?

Gonzz - congrats and welcome to the world of the 3 rotor. You are going to love the torque available. It makes for an amazing ride.

Insurance wise, I had State Farm for many years prior to my 3 rotor conversion. Note I said HAD - they dropped me as soon as I told them I had the conversion done. Finally ended up with Progressive as they will insure 3 rotor/modified cars. Have mine insured for $55,000 but will have to negotiate this if something happens. They don't guarantee a value. I have a file of 3 rotor sales so I can use these to prove the value.

Anyone know of a company that will guarantee the value and still allow you to drive the car? All I found (Haggerty, ect.) had very very low limits on the number of miles you can drive each year.
