Hey guys tryed to insure a rx7 type R 1993 car, am 24 with 5 years no claims, cheapest quote was 1600 quid :mad:
What a ripoff!! but iv got another car policy which covers any other car thats insured, so here`s the clever bit lol.. my insurance is only 138 a year for the car im with the noo, so my dad insured it fully comp for 392... lol and a grand total of 530.00 a year for mywuvely maza :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin
Just hope i dont crash lol if i do ma dads getting the blame (joke) lolololol
im jealous :p
does this mean that when you drive the rx7 you are fully comp or just third party?
Thats one of the downsides.. im 3rd party, also my dad cn drive it lol!!
i thought that might have been the case :(
Touch wood iv not had a crash in 7 years so fingers crossed :):D
regarding the crash thing. I said the same, 24, 5 years no claims, 10 days in an RX, first time it was wet, Game Over!
Drive steady mate!
Incidently I was only paying £1400 FC through Adrian Flux. Got a UK FD now and it dropped the insurance to £600, will have to see how it goes come july though with a total loss on the books.

Sorry to hear that m8, why are imports so dear to insure?? i mean there no more powerful the the uk modles, usually just come with more extras, i.e air con lol

Its so the insurers can fleece you even more than usual. They reckon that the parts are more expensive which is rubbish, plus the JDM specs are different to standard UK models.
Either way take it steady whilst your getting used to her mate. Fd\'s really do bite when those 2nd turbo\'s come in and really dont like the wet.
BTW did you sort all your engine troubles out?
So far touch wood shes ok, there was an air pocket in the pipes so she aint leaking coolant no more, and the white smoke stopped when i added the optimax from halfords :).. so im hoping alls good lol..
Im LOVING THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!! already had a few girls interested in a run lol.. there mingers but the week is young lol:wave
Optimax from Halfords:confused:
optimax booster mayber lol its an additive you put in to unleaded petrol :)
Thought you meant Shell Optimax which is what most people use.
Best octane booster, by the way - Millers CVL. I\'ve used loads of different ones now and the Millers is the only one that seems to stop the det light flashing on my Skyline. From that I\'d also guess it\'s the only one that really works....
What garages sell the optimax fuel? i cant find it any where i live, i thought esso sold it but ma local one dosnt. :(
Shell sells Optimax which people say is the best premium unleaded. BP do ultimate which is ok, I think some Esso\'s do a super unleaded too.
The UK car actually comes with more stuff than the Jap version which is like you say a bit rare. The jap ones are a bit more powerful but I think it is just the insurers saying they are more difficult to repair if you bang it.

I think most of it is that the kind of people that buy imports are the kind of people likely to claim at least once at some point...
Not looking forward to crashingma baby lol :S
LOL no - main problem I have is that people see a flash-looking yellow car coming and do their best to run it off the road!
(I\'ve use two cars and I use the same roads in both - it\'s much harder work to drive the 8 in the SAME traffic because of this.)
Iv found that in ma exz, it`s because there isnt another one down where i am and everyone does there best to kamakazee you lol, there also gangs of kids always hanging outside ma house now to which im not liking..:mad:
