hello i am new here and i have been looking around for cars for years and just looking there alot off cars out there does anyone have some good idea off a fast and good first car i want to be able to put a bit off a fight up against the corsa and saxo and stuff like that ?

 

if you want to be bale to beat saxos, corsa's etc then your going to need a lot of money in teh first place to insure the car lol!!
my insurance is Ł2500 on a 1.0 corsa C lol,

 

Well mate i have a few bit around looking for around a 1.4 ish ?

 

xr2i or 3i if you can insure it?

 

how much do you think that would ba round car and insure mate ?

 

Get on some insurance comparison sites to give yourself an idea, doesn't take that long and once you're set up, you can basically type in number plate after number plate to get new quotes.

 

Before i bought a car i was looking at insurance quotes for corsa 1.4i sports, fiesta xr2's etc and they were Ł1600 to insure
my dads mate had a mk3 xr2i to get rid of so i had that becuase the insurance was low enough. 2 month later the insurance on it suddenely went up to Ł2000, then it went up to Ł2500, then Ł3000 etc etc
so i had to get rid of it and now im semi-restoring a mk1 fiesta 950 and thats still Ł2000 to insure on price comparison websites. insurance is a killer

 

starlet gt turbo then convert to td04...

escort bonus with efi rst engine or fiesta, c20let corsa or nova,1.25 fiesta mk4 with fpr engine , 306 dturbo can be made quick and are group 5, saxo/106 with a j4 16v engine etc if you wanna do it that way

thats what ive done, my mates pay immense insurance for some reason, Ł3000 on a 1.3 cdti corsa

 

but engine conversions are usually based on the car it came out of? So same if not more coin. Unless your saying dont declare it then thats fucking retarded.

 

know what you mean pal iv got a escort 1.8 si 2500 a year killa

 

buy my mk4g astra 1.7 DTi 16V - not the fastest thing on the planet but very cheap to run and insure as the car is only Insurance Group 4E

less than 300 quid a year for me - 34yrs old, 7yrs NCB, with points and a ban on my licence.

 

mk4 mini mayfair 1.3 SPI 65bhp Ł1300 third party

 

so all the thousands of sleepers in the uk are owned by fucking retards? wennys a retard? i doubt it

my pals got a nice astra van dti actually, his insurance is Ł1200 at 18

 

crumpet - and you can run them on bio fuel so even cheaper to run mate

Mine has alloys and sports seats too

 

I hear ya! izusu 1.7 dtis go for ever too, shame about the GM 2.0 shitters, Shame no diesels now days have the mechanical bosch ve pumps so you can tune them manually and run on straight veggie!

 

Dont bother with insurance and just buy yourself a decent Sierra Cosworth

 

With all the hikes in insurance this year to have something even midly nippy is going to set you back a couple of grand on insurance.

 

Thanks for all the ideas people

 

Wasnt my first car strictly (got it before I was 18 though and had no NCB) but I had a 2.0 ESP Focus Zetec and cost less than Ł2.3k to insure with all mods declared (upto 150bhp). That was through Bell Direct and used them until I got my ST.

Yes changing the engine and not declaring it, is retarded!

 

And let the rest of us 'honest motorists' pay for you!
