i checked comparison websites although im 21 and could get insured roughly for 600-700 quid and with a supercharger/turbo went up to about 1000 although not rung anywhere yet, i also tried an engine swap wich i think will be rediculous yet adrian flux quoted 700quid lol but all the others wouldnt insure so.. just try gocompare or something for rough estimates

yeah but 1000 isnt bad compared to having to pay 2500 for a 1.2 corsa?
and my mate has a 1340 stage 3 mini and pays £4000 :L

he's paying 2000 for it now, with a tracker, that 4000 was the quote without the tracker.

If I had to have a tracker then I would just drop a 998 in and save the money and put the 1340 back in when I could get a sensible price. You can't drive the 1340 properly with a tracker on haha

How old is he to be paying that much anyway? That's a lot of money, even at 2k

i thought trackers were just for targeting the car if its stolen, not one that monitors your speed

Could be, I heard tracker and assumed 'black box'

he moniters what times you are out. my mate has to be home at 11 at night and cant leave til 6 in the morning. but i've heard of new ones for newer cars that check your speeds and how harsh you brake. its abit crazy.

If I was him I would drop a 998 in until the cost made sense to have the bigger lump in
