I agree mate. Tis what I dream of doing if I win the lottery or P/bonds million) Can't wait to see the finished product!!

If I had the money I'd love to do something like this. When do you think it'll be finished? What wheels are you planning on having? Obviously I'm new on this forum, but I was expecting a lot more Euro style wheels but haven't found any yet. (by Euro I mean 15/16" but wider, instead of pimp my ride huge wheels)

I think what you're doing is amazing! I don't mean to be rude but, How much do you estimate this to cost? and what does your Insurance company think about all this?? Also, if you carry out this much work on a car, does it still class as a Corrado? Or more of a "Kit car"? Sorry if thats an Odd question, maybe one too many Old Ps :oops:

Are all your mods declared aswell? Seems like a good price then. I'll deffinately try them then.

just_say_meth and iow_corrado_g60 which insurance company are you with? As for letting her win, I don't plan on making it easy although I'm not too sure what I can do. She's lied to her insurance and told them I drove into her. I tried getting a CCTV tape but that hasn't been successfull and there aren't any witnesses as the person behind me just drove around me and then off and the Police aren't interested either telling me 'Let your insurance company sort it out!' My insurance company have said as there aren't any witnesses they won't go to court, and didn't offer a no claims protection.

I was with Elephant for the first year on my CTR. I'll try them again but they tried taking money out of my account after I'd told them on the phone and sent a letter canceling my policy with them. My renewel quote from them was easily beaten by Greenlight. So I'll try a few companies. Are Bell any good? Aren't the G60s quite unreliable? Also because they've a supercharger more to insure than a VR6? Which Ins Grp are they?

I know it could be expensive, but I like my cars and performance so I'm willing to pay for it (unless it's silly money!).

CTR is in Ins Grp 17...I think the VR6 is 18? But is cheaper to buy. My theory is because it's an older car and has a lesser value it would be more managable to insure? Although I could be wrong! I'd like something which is close to the performance of my CTR. If the VR6 is not possible, is there a quick Corrado which would suit my needs better?

Ware, near Hertford. I've seen a few Corrados about, including a red one at the top of my GFs road. I think it's a 1.8 16v. I probably wouldn't mind paying between £500 - £1000 on insurance. Just the problem with the no claims situation seeing as I'm younger and won't have any if things go badly. I'll have to get some quotes. I'll have a look at the Cars for Sale section too. I trust they are all well looked after to get in there? :wink: Does the Forum have a Insurance Company to recommend? (The Civictype-r.co.uk forum recommends Greenlight Insurance as we get a discount which has built over the years)

Hello there, I currantly have a Honda Civic Type R EP3 and I'm having some fairly large bad luck. In June a young lady (20 I think) decided to reverse her Mini Convertable into me at a junction causing over £800 damage to my car. She told me she would give me the money for the cash and that she didn't want to go through the Insurance of which she told me she was with Kwik Fit. I thought "OK you're young and want to protect your no claims, I can understand that." So I agreed after taking her details that I would get some quote and she could give me the money for it. I still reported it to my Insurance as soon as I could. She messed me around for a week untill she finaly told me that her insurance company would be contacting me! And they did blaming me for the damage on her Mini. However it wasn't Kwik Fit Insurance, it was another. Also it wasn't in her name! (Even though she has a Private Plate with her name on it!) I informed my Ins Company and they've been dealing with it. But I'm losing faith and it looks increasingly likely that I'll lose my No Claims and therefore not afford to insure my CTR. Which of course means I'll have to sell it. NOW, my question is... What is the Corrado VR6 like to insure? I'm 22 with a clean licence and live in Hertfordshire. Also Non Insurance Related... What is the reliability like? What are the running costs like? Thank you for any help.
