hi everybody,

 

my name is viper, im based in the west midlands and am in the process of selling my last car, an mx5 turbo.

 

When it has sold i am looking to buy a manual non turbo to get started.

 

as much as i would love a turbo or two the prices are just a tad to high although i will be doing some research but i dont think for my pittiful 4000 pound budget ill get a decent turbo. although to make it a bit harder im not intrested in anything unless its manual.

so anyway from preioise experiance i know the best place to gain advice is from forums like this.

so if anybody has any suggestions or tips what so ever about any thing supra related i would be all ears.

 

again hello and look forward to being a member of the pack.

 

:innocent:

thanks for the warm welcome,

i guess i better get looking into some n/a's then, maybe even have a little look into turbo kits for the future.

 

Do a few search's on here fella, and you will see that it will work out cheaper to do a TT swap rather than n/a'/t. The TT swap you can pick up for around £1800 or fitted for £2300.

Insurance try elephant as thats who I was with at the age, and as for the down grade, alot of n/as are different due to optional extras from new iirc such as lsd box and so on. I have a n/a myself as I am building up my no claims for my next supra.

My first policy at 23 was with Bell - they were the cheapest for me then (not so good with modifications though), but Greenlight were cheaper second time around (more modifications declared). Bell also do a bonus accelrator 10 month policy, which may be worth considering if you need to get your NCD up.

 

Last time I spoke to Sky, they weren't insuring under 25s (or so I was told) and I think A-plan were the same.

 

There are several threads about good insurance companies, have a search and read through - there's plenty of good advice in them.

 

Welcome and good luck with the search :)

Hi and welcome. Be very careful with insurance companies, some still know very little about imported cars. Some are far more knowledgeable than others. Don't believe on line quotes, talk to a human. I don't know if it still happens, but there was a time when the NA was the most expensive MKIV to insure though some companies.

Bar the engine and gearbox most of the spec is very similar, some N/A's come with LSD's aswell.

 

In regard to insurance you should give Admiral a try, I was paying £2k for my N/A with them at 19, I'm 21 now and paying £1k on a TT with points and mods declared.

the best i had on the N/A was 1100pounds the TT i cant beleive 888.45 a year.

 

Right thats it who has a tt for sale.
