They don\'t use your NCB at all :D  . They look at your experience, age, length of license, accidents and age then give you a quote. Soemtime NCB is a farce anyway !

If it costs you 2000k with full use or 500 quid as a second car, buy the another car, it only needs to be a cheap deisel because once you have the rx7 and the weather turns crap ( which the british weather does ) then you will be glad, plus petrol and the rx7 do mix quite well. I\'ve put 70 quid worth of diesel in my 106 and 250 quid worth of petrol in my rx7 :eek: since i bought the two, and the rx7 has only done a few more miles than the 106 !

Just tried Haughton and they can\'t even offer me a quote:reallymad :reallymad

Said I am too young (25) and the car has too many mods (certainly not in the realms of big singles)

Oh, well £1265 is the best so far.  TESCO here I come.:(

im 23 4yrs NC and 6 points. im with tesco and paying 1200 FC for 12000 miles :D
There are performance cars and then there is the RX-7...........

12.3 second 1/4 mile, terminal speed of 122mph (1st ever drag run on a TO4R)

engine built by....... umm me! now powered by a T51 Kai......

Do they know its an import?
Does the car have any mods that they know of?

I must admit I thought Tesco would be dearer, but it seems no-one else can come close for me atm.

Just make sure you don\'t modify the rx7 with tesco, they hit you really hard.

As for houghton, how old is the rx7, is it under 10 years old ? I think they only insure them over 10 years, maybe the car is too young !

Some mods can make it very difficult for them to give you a quote, a roll cage can destroy a quote.

Sorry to hear your having no luck, hope it changes soon !

they know its an import and that its standard. i got a quote with a body kit exhaust induction dials and wheels, all that lot bumped it up by 400 which i though was very good considering how much it would cost to replace.

That does sound good.

I don\'t know how to post a link to it but here\'s the general idea of whats done to it: -

"Car has mines ecu & intercooler, feed downpipe & midpipe, veilside back box, fuel pump, new version hks induction, blow off valve, mines front strut brace, hks evc boost controller, ngk racing spark plugs 10 heat range, greddy water and exhaust electronic temp gauge, greddy boost gauge, aftermarket strengthenend power plant frame either re-amemiya or mazdaspeed, stainless steel brake lines, twin plate clutch, new bigger twin turbos, ohlins fully adjustable suspension. Car handles fantastic and is very fast. Minor work will be completed on the nearside front & offside front wheel arch where the car was previously lowered to much and rubbed against tyres. Car has since been set to an acceptable height. minor scratches on front bumper which will also be rectified. Full knightsports bodykit and mazdaspeed ms02 rims not scrapped or curbed."

All of this has been declared so I guess Tesco aren\'t that bad:)

Saw that car at Brians last week, i must say it did look very nice:bandit

Hope you find an ever better quote,

Paul:)

I\'m glad you liked the look of the car, I haven\'t seen it in the flesh myself yet but I\'ve heard/read good things about it.:)

It\'s having the stone chips and such sorted this week IFAIK so I\'ll be getting it if all is o.k. at the end of the month/start of sept.

Can\'t wait!!!

Sone high and some good quotes there. I was unfortunate enough to lose all my no-claims by being on my ex-wifes policy for too long (so she could build some bonus).
I went with Admiral in the end with a quote for £1030. I\'m 25, no no-claims and do have access to 2 other vehicles. If you really want to get your quote down, put your father or mother on as a named driver. It got my quote down by another £300!!! :)

im payin £1400 on mine, im only 22 with 4 years no claims though.  k reg import 5000 miles a year with adrian flux valued at £5000

just as a point of note, don\'t bother telling them 4000 miles, a limited mileage policy only has a difference of around 100 quid. May as well tell them 20,000 :)
