21 1 yrs no claims 2years full licence under £1600?

[ScuttleRX]

just give it a blast mate see what the difference is, a lot of body stuff doesnt make much of a difference, if any, with some companies.

I had a car insured with CIS once and they said as long as it doesnt make you go any faster it wont cost you any more!

[cj.]

AWSOME i added bodykit, alloys, suspention alterations, and exhaust alterations and the quote came back at £1874.63 fully comp.

Wonder if i called somewhere like Adrian Flux and told them wether they would attempt to beat it. £1600 would be even better

I was 21 when I took out the policy and pay £1295 fully comp on a 94 import.
Thats with 2yrs no claims and garaged as a second car.

Where abouts in the west mids are you from?

Im from Hereford dude £1300 would be an awsome quote but i dont know if id get near that due to having a years less no claims and it would be my primary car.

Haha, just noticed ur from Kidderminser, you will know Hereford then

Scuttle, so when i used ur plate opn that auto trader insurance thing, it still asked me to enter the car make model, etc. I went through it answering the questions with ur details and then it did the quote. It didnt ask me if it was a jap import at any point. Does that mean it knows its an import or will it have calculated it as a UK car???

Just wanna make sure that quote is DEF correct

Car details it shows are: 1996P MAZDA RX-7 2.6 TURBO COUPE 3DR

[ScuttleRX]

Well, I would assume it would as there are no \'96 UK cars, and my plate should ring up as an import.

Saying that, insurance companies are not known for there accuracy! Might be worth giving them a ring with your ref number, just explain you\'ve used a mates plate to ensure accurate model info, and check the quotes ok

[cj.]

ahh, (didnt know there are no 96 UK cars) not 100% up to speed on the complex model history of the rx7 yet
Randomly got a call today from Ensign asking me about the quote and that so i though see what they would quote me via the phone. Got round to the car details explained about using ur plate and that, got that it was an import, said it was a 2.6 and the girl was like "2.6 auto yes" and i said, no its a manual. "Oh" she then said. We only have the 2.6 auto on our system, so cannot cover you with the 2.6 manual...
She then offered to put me though to some other company but i said not to worry as was still looking round.

Why couldnt the stupid DVLA leave it as a 1.3 save all this confution. 2.4 - manual, 2.5 only auto. arghh lol

I\'m running a Uk RX7 at the minute and it only cost me around £1000 to insure for the 12 months. That was with 0 ncb and aged 21 living in a ok postcode. On a 5000 limited mileage. The car is defiantly insured as a 2.6 manual as well, That was with Admiral

So may be worth you looking into getting a Uk car to start off with. If you remove the pre cat on a Uk car you\'ll be at import 255 Bhp and then you can bolt on all the mods you want as the cars only have small differences which don\'t really get in the way when modding.

Thats def the kinda quote i would like!!!
So is that a UK twin turbo gen 3. Could i ask what year it is? Only problem is finding them. Arnt the UK spec ones like pretty rare to find?

(if anyone could help with this would by helpfull )

[cj.]

well as i though, had a look round for a uk spec rx7, and they are very few & far between. Am thinking they will probably be higher priced as well (because of the insurance perks of a UK model)

[LeedsLad]

keep looking i found one through total chance on msn spaces rung him up and bought it! for 4800 with 20k on a rebuilt engine :Thumbsup!

[cj.]

Well i have a while of looking round yet before i get the car so ill keep my eyes peeled You got a bargin there dude! and from such a random place, lol.

On an insurance note, has anyone purchased their quote via the Autotrader insurance search. Was everything ok that you entered - ie. did the insurance company accept that the mods had been added on the autotrader site and so do they still apply to the actual policy.

Hope so

you got a nice quote there, i too was 21, 2yrs ncb, 4 years driving on 1991 car. mine was £1700 though

see what they do for me this year i think

[ScuttleRX]

cj, give elephant/admiral a try using the reg again, they do an online quote and you should be able to select the correct model and you can add mods

[cj.]

ok bud, will give it a go and let ya know how i get on
