Need help finding an FD!

[Rotary_Menace]

Hey peeps after a yaer of battleing through exams and gaining working experince im starting a job which will allow me to finally quench my FD lust. But thier seems to be a problem.

Insurance :Grrr

Here is the car i would love to own

http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/MAZDA+RX7/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146,N-4294967255-4294967256/advert.action?R=200817308384132&distance=84&postcode=le7+3ft&channel=CARS&make=MAZDA&model=RX7&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage=

I have been battling insurers all morning.

22
No convictions etc
2 NCB
1 documented year of not crashing a company car.
social use only.

All the insurace quotes (if they could give me any) have been around the £2700 mark :2Confused

i have tried all the usuals
A-plan my biggest hope -NO!
adrian flux
bell
... etc

after searching hard and ringing friends i have come across //www.ecarinsurance.co.uk

So heres the point... i will be able to get an FD but it has to meet some requirements

• Around the £7000 mark
• UK spec
• NOT RED (im sorry i just dont like red FD\'s)
• rebuilt

Do i have a hope? Does anyone know of any? i know i may be in the wrong section but i could really use some help with this. I have wanted an FD since i was 15. Insurers recommended i go for a silvia or something and work my way up but anything else will just seem unfulfilling to drive!

Cheers Neil

It\'s a powerful RWD car, you\'re a young and inexperienced driver. Why are you complaining? :rolleyes:

[BlitzBoy]

If you go from a normal day to day car to a FD they see you as not having any performance car experiance or RWD experiance, hence I can see why they want you to start off with a Nissan SX. Buy a SX for 1k run it for a year then go for an FD it will work out cheaper that way plus you get experiance of rwd

Reckon you\'d be lucky to find a decent UK model for any money, dude. They only sold about 120 of them in this country officially, and most apparently have horrible rust by now. Red is by far the nicest colour, i think you\'ll find though!

My mate got insured on a scoob for £1500m, i might do that. but i dont want to.  i really can understand, but why such a massive leep fron uk to jdm? its really ruinned my day!

Price you have to pay im afraid.  If it\'s any concellation the majority of us have been through it.  I remember having to pay £3400 when I was 18 for my MR-2 turbo.  It only seems like I was 18 two minutes ago...... Then you wake up and it\'s 15 years later.

a massive leep fron uk to jdm?

This is what really fricks me off about insurance companies.  Import is just another poor excuse for whacking up the premium.

[dthebuk]

have you got quotes for a stock car?


my insurance was £800 more purely because i had an air filter.

getting an sx sounds like a good idea, or what about an fc?

[danny_m94]

im with ecar insurance
23
5years
ncb
jap import
£85 a month cant really complain tbh
about a £1000 a year more or less

[SmbFD3S]

There are ways round it, i.e. second car or on classic insurance with limited mileage etc.....

[danny_m94]

gotta be 24 or over smbfd3s i tried that one

[FD3SNuttah]

good luck mate, theres a few uk ones about but very few.
