Mate you're getting some unbelievable quotes!!! £4000-£6000??? Feel for you man, it just gets you thinking though, imagine actually getting insured for that kind of money.....all the parts and upgrades you'd be reluctant to spend cash on because of insurance :/ it ain't right

I know its ridiculous, I got a letter from adrian flux today they quoted £9897 thats with no mods except an alarm system.
Im waiting on a quote from a group that have always been the cheapest for me to get back and if thats to dear I think it will have to be a 1.0 fiesta or somthing to get the ncb up a bit.

Welcome aboard buddy, sounds like a bit of a nightmare with the insurance quotes so far. Might be worth trying the likes of Greenlight (they advertise on reallymeansounds) just in case they can offer something a bit less scary.

Could always opt for a UK-spec 4EFE and upgrade at a later stage but hopefully you find some cover that suits!

cheers jay and colin
il just keep trying and hopefully get somthing thats not over the odds, thats the downfall of being a named driver for the first few years.
ive had my heart set on an ep82 for a few years jay, although that may be more realistic to start off 4efe then upgrade eventually to efte

Well good news on the insurance front lads. I got a brilliant quote for under £1000 which is brilliant because I was expecting to pay up to £2000!
So hopefully I will be on the starlet scene soon and get to meets etc :)

I think they have joined together now.
They where willing to give me 3years ncb because I have been a named driver with them along with a few other discounts.
Just need to get the gt now

Yea phil, its not to bad the interior isnt as bad as it looks in the pic and was suprised that them seats are recaros. Found a few extra mods as well. It will take me a while to get to know the car but I have been in contact with jay and he is going to check it all out for me at some stage and give me some advice on the mods
Overall it has its bad points but decided to take it :)
