^ thanks for the replies guys. I was thinking either a 182 (grp 16) or a uk scooby 210hp(grp 17), but apparently the impreza would be MUCH more for some reason even though its hardly quicker and worth less (guess its that word turbo eh).
if i can get insurance for £2k i will buy one, but not really prepared to pay more than 2k. Are these performance insurance companies any good with things like this, the max power type? lol
My friend has a corsa with a 2.0 calibra engine in it and he pays 1500, exactly the same situation as me, so mine shouldnt be that much more should it?
try this

it does all the searching for you
Nope, which in this instance will probably work in your favour. None of the companies I rang (and I rang a lot!!) could touch the online companies.
One guy I spoke to said that online insurance companies dont "play fair". Doent bother me. My insurance for my 172 was £650 this year, 24 , 2 years NCB with a claim 3 years . Cheap as Chips.
wheres the sense in that? Its faster than a calibra cos its so much lighter, and yet cheaper to insure than if he had just bought a calibra straight off! surely doing things like engine transplants hints that your going to drive it faster!
so do you reckon if i put a 172 engine in my 1.4 shell it would be cheaper to insure than a 172?
thanks for the replies
the cost of the premium reflects the value of the car as well as the power etc.
the value af a transplanted corsa is jack compared with a calibra ergo the premium may be less.
no one will insure you for anything other than fully comp on a 182 and in most cases for anything 5k and over as well

a lot insurance companies base their premiums on how many claims a certain model of car has had in the past, people were reporting that the 182 is cheaper to insure than a 172, only because the 172 has been around a lot longer than the 182 so more claims have been made for 172s. the insurance for me on a TVR cerbera is £1400 compared to £1000 for my 172. Now that is bugger all difference for a car that is in a different league to a 172. i asked someone about this and they said that TVRs have had relatively few claims only because they are quite a rare car.Quote: Originally posted by Hector on 22 December 2004
^depends obviously on the age of the calibra, but he couldnt even get insured on an ancient calibra, but i get what you mean. depends on things like where you live as well right... Bradford probably isnt the best place
Less
