Ridiculous insurance quotes - HELP!

[coolspot007007]

Got a major problem on my hands, Clio GTT is nearly finished so its insurance time again. Ive rang 3 companies, not a lot I know, but I was expecting the best quote from one of those three, and to be honest I dont expect any of the big isurers like Tesco, CIS etc to insure a clio GTT.

HIC quoted 6k and Adrian Flux quoted 4.5K (FC) and Liverpool Victoria wouldnt quote me. Does anyone have any recomendations for insurers that deal a lot with engine conversions/dont care at all about engine power. Im 22, 2 years NCB, driving for 4 years, one crash back in 2000, no points, live in Liverpool in an ok area, Cat 1 alarm. I was expecting like 2-2.5k max

they only ask about accidents in the last 3 years so why are you telling them??

Not beind funny but

A) Your postcode wont help (Not being boris johnson)

B) your 22 with a high power engine

C) not only is it high power, its not a standard car

D) you only have 2yrs NCB due to the crash

Good luck, but i think your looking at a steep premium mate. Try the back of max power (If you can face buying it) for insurers who specialise in heavy modding

I was asked any accidents/convictions in the last 5 years

Engine conversion is never going to cheap to insure especially when youve modded the engine as well as what Blink has said.

I wasnt expecting it to be cheap but 4.5k FFS, most people of my age could buy and insure a modded valver for that! Im going to try TPFT and putting mum/sister on policy tomorrow. If i cant get it insured under 3.5k I might have to keep the car off the road and insure something real cheap on a bonus accelerator policy to get my NCB up or something.

insurance companys listing is in the part of the forum, make it so ur browser sees posts from the last 2 months or more then look at thread by KDF "everythin to know about insurance" something like that anyway

you should be able 2 get it cheaper if u speak to the right ppl

Yup I could never get insured on my exs car as her insurance company went back 5 and not 3 yrs.

Jesus! An Evo 6 would be cheaper! JONGSR4 insured his 4 in croydon (just as bad post code as liverpool id say - according to that list it was the highest group) for £1400 with Tesco at 22

Thats far more than I would have expected ! Would a Modified 5GTT still be the same for you or is it because the engine has been fitted to a Clio?

3rd Party named driver is all that would decrease it big time.

Worth a shot mate, i reckon youll get it under £2000.

 

[coolspot007007]

I thought confused is no good cos of mods? Liquidcool a 5GTT would be under 1.5k to insure I reckon. Its the conversion plus the power hike, not to mention the bodykit, interior, respray. I got a quote a couple of months back on a 10k supra twin turbo - £1080, gutted. The only reason I didnt get a supra was that when I originally planned to get one or do the clio gtt conversion the cheapest insurance quote was 8k! (year and a half ago)
