am turning 19 in 2months and hoping to lump a vavler engine in to my 1.4 rt.

[night.icon]

u r better off puting an r 5 turbo lump in there and calling liverpool vitoria

 

[Marc@blackpool]

how much is involved in that, my mate sed it wud be hard, and alot of cash

 

[Dust]

I was 18 when i got my Valver. But definately go for an R5 Lump instead.

I feel old at 21!

Id be cheaper to sell your RT and buy a Valver.

An cheaper/more powerful engine transplant would be the GTT lump!

 

[Rousey]

i was 17 when i got my 1.6 16v

 

[Dean]

18, when i got my 16v, still am 18

1.8 16v in an RT is cheaper than a GTT in an RT.

it would be cheaper to drop in a gtt lump ?
Meaning cheaper to actually put it in there ?

In the long run wouldnt it be cheaper to go for the 16v? im assuming the 16v is a more reliable and stronger motor that the gtt ?

 

[Marc@blackpool]

btt,

sxi boy, is ur valver in ur name and are u on ya own insurance?

 

[chris_m182]

in my own name it was guna cost me £1300 tpft or £1500 f/c with no ncb

my dad made a contribution towards my insurance, and as i was strapped for cash i went under his name for £650 instead

mite try n go f/c next yr tho

 

[Marc@blackpool]

the valver in ur name then and insurance in ya dads?

 

[chris_m182]

i registered the car in me dads name for insurance purposes

 

[Marc@blackpool]

ah thats y u got it cheap. might do that, but how does it work? do u still get ur OWN no cliams? or what?

 

[chris_m182]

Ditto - I pay £380 through my dad - its in his name too which really annoys me - but to be honest - Ive got the only keys and thats how it stays - does it really matter that much providing its cheap?

 

[RicH-]

im 19 and i pay £1700 with Tescos fully comp 1 years NCB

Elephant gave me the 2nd best quote on a few high spec engined cars.



My best quote is through Diamond - SORRY LADS!!!!

 

[White16valver]

Damn - yet another use for breasts...



Could be an idea to buy a really crap car in a really low insurance group (I think a 2cv is group 1!) and insure that under your name - that way youll be building your no claims bonus up on that car more cheaply than if you were doing it on a valver. Plus, if it goes walkabout, you wont need to claim as itd be worth so little!

Elephant Quoted me £4600 for my 1.4 8v at 18. ill never bother with them again. Complete waste of space. Best quote i found was liverpool victoria, £1680 Fully Comp :s
For some reason TPFT was more expensive so i went with fully comp.

Hopeing to get a Valver next year.
