HIC want £1330.

**Melv** · 14-10-2008, 11:37

£1330? I hope they used Vaseline!

***Andy_L*** · 14-10-2008, 11:45

Can you not amend your current policy to include the Corsa?

No is the short answer.

djivesp · 14-10-2008, 14:53

thats silly money

my mate is paying similar for his 3l twin turbo z

have you tried quinn !?

Gaz86 · 14-10-2008, 16:10

have you tried getting a mirror policy, sky insurance do them.

mirrord as in you can use your ncb even if its already on another car

LongLiveTheNova · 14-10-2008, 16:12

Its the exact reason im stuck with just the one car.
Mines cheap as fook to insure, using my ncb etc

So I rung up and got a quote on a 1600 astra van as a daily runner and they wanted £1200, as a new policy.... ( i pay about £420 on the nova......), so that was the end of that idea.

**Melv** · 14-10-2008, 16:27

Not stictly the correct way of doing it but.......... if you already have a policy in your name you could always insure the corsa in someone elses name with you as a named driver.

Jack · 14-10-2008, 18:35

I can't do that either Melv. Needs to be my own policy in my own name. I'll shop around. It's not a big deal at the moment, just shopping around.

Jack · 15-10-2008, 19:31

Sky are a bit more sensible with £1141. Need to ring Alan & Alan tomorrow.

Steve! · 15-10-2008, 19:34

It's crazy... I bet a "normal" 1.6 corsa would be about £500

Jack · 15-10-2008, 20:05

Yeah, but then add a stripped interior, Calibra brakes, Spax suspension...etc and you'd be looking at the same. The guy I spoke to today was really cool actually.

Is that mirroring your no claims?

Jack · 15-10-2008, 23:09

I haven't got any no claims.

djivesp · 15-10-2008, 23:10

Mr jack, try Quinn direct

Not sure what they're like on mods, but i've had the cheapest quotes from them by far, and a couple of buddies are with them

Jack · 18-10-2008, 17:14

I didn't do it!

Got the exhaust sorted 100%, but now it won't start again.

djivesp · 18-10-2008, 17:17

wooo nice progress dude

.
Any reason why you went for the rubber brake pipes not braided ones

any ideas why it wont start ?!

Steve! · 18-10-2008, 17:20

low on fuel?

Cheers man!

And a perfectly good reason; rubber hoses are £8 a pair!

No idea at all. It might be low on fuel, I just can't bloody believe that it was fine last weekend and now doesn't want to know.

djivesp · 18-10-2008, 17:58

LOL £8 a pair thats like a pair of socks lol

i had no idea they were that cheap

good to see you've got your priorities right with the brakes and hoses etc

(and the m6 sticker hahaha)

Jack · 18-10-2008, 18:05

Dude... socks are £1 for three pairs at Asda!

Cheaper than washing them!

I put an RS2000 rear beam on an Escort a few weeks ago and the amount of problems we had with the ****ing brake hoses... it can't hurt having some new ones to slip on. Can't wait to get the suspension and the brakes on!

Jack · 19-10-2008, 17:03

Today's messing around.

Got a monstrous BMW battery cable for £3.

Got a battery tray for £0.

Got a comedy filter for £0!

And messed around on this.
