My insurance last year was £772.60 fully comp. That was aged 25 with 4yrs no claims, standard car & two SP30's. I'm now gonna be 26 with 5yrs no claims, the same two SP30's, an SP50 & a car with a stainless exhaust & air filter. I just got quoted £2,234.56 
If I can't get the premium to nearer a grand the car's gonna have to go & I don't want that. I'm awaiting quotes from Adrian Flux, Greenlight & Roadsure which i'm hoping will be a little nicer but is anyone in the same sort of situation that has managed to get reasonable insurance?

Maffa ,
have you had a look at tesco insurance?
Out of curiosity i did a online quote for a Skyline r33 worth 15k
at 23 i thought it would be 2 grand plus,but had a nice suprise at £1400!!!
fully comp!!
have a look,but i think they require scoobs to have a tracker fitted.
worth a try.

They do require a tracker & there's only enough room for two convictions & it doesn't mention mods [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Thanks anyway

MAFFA,
Give Tom (Rum*) @ schofields a ring, if he insures me he should insure anybody
his number is 0113 250 0377
note: think you will need tracker though, but not 100 percent sure on that.
I'm paying 1400 quid, which is better than 2k, and that's with me being 27, 4 yrs ncb, parked on street, jap import, modified, in other words, a worst case sceanrio!

Markus,
Thanks for pointing me in that direction but you are right about the tracker. They also require the car to be garaged as it's a UK car. They apparently are more competetive with imports.
Just for those of you who are interested in what quotes a guy in my position get's, here's the story so far:
A Plan - £2625.00
Schofields -Will not insure (tracker & garage required)
Adrian Flux - £1392.00
Frizzell - £1290.58
Greenlight - £1098.00
Tesco - £1560.30 (with a tracker fitted)
Privilege - £1850.00 (with tracker fitted)
So far Greenlight have got my money but i'll keep going.

Paul,
Greenlight will now only cover UK cars, but here's their number: 01277 263030
They were the most competitive for my last car (heavily mod'd MY99 UK). With all my modifications declared (hybrid turbo, FMIC, Link, brakes, exhaust and all cosmetic changes), 5 years NCB, garaged, alarmed, tracker, barrier deadlock, with Class 1 business use, was £1200.

Maffa,
I've just received my renewal through from Greenlight on MY 95WRX and it only went up by £25 from last year, I was worried about them not taking on Imports any more but as I'm a previous customer they're continuing to offer me cover.
Oh by the way I'm 31, 3years NCB, 1 SP30, insured for me & Girlfriend to drive with car parked on Driveway with CAT1 alarm cost £980... Still gonna shop around and maybe see if I can get discount fron Greenlight being a SIDC member.
Just got an online quote from Tesco and it was £1412 and it wanted me to have a tracker fitted, I think I'll stick to buying my bread from them and not car insurance.
O.M.

So far Greenlight are by far the most competetive & I don't think i'm gonna get much lower with my past driving history. I've tried Barclays & Norwich Union Direct (in fact I don't think there are any I haven't tried) & non of them come close.
Anyway looks like I can keep the car

To be fair Maffa, I think the Greenlight quote is quite reasonable, especially I know about your driving record!!
Is it worth considering removing the exhaust and insuring a standard car?
Just a thought
