Default insuring JDM's and a few other Q's

Being 24 insuring a uk sti ppp is not going to be cheap but have found some prices that i think are acceptable. I have purposfully steared clear of JDM cars as i assume that this will add a massive premium to any policy and many insurers will not even quote, can anyone confirm or disprove this?

Also - Type 25 or top spec C type ra-r

Whats the difference between a type ra and a type ra-r (in the newage models not classics)


Cheers!

Contact Gary Moulson Highways Insurance 0208 642 7868 (Moley_WRX on here) he insured my Type 25 for less than I was paying on my old classic

...you will have to be patient though, he's always on the phone....

I'e had 3 UK & 2 JDM's

Most of the quotes I've had have been simular for UK/JDM with simular power my JDM 350bhp Type20 is EXACTLY the same as a WR1.

Some companies will not quote for ANY scoob if under 25's

Both are on my wish list best to see specialist insurers for those, hope you've won the lottery

bar from cosmetics and a year younger The RA-R has 18" wheels, 6 pot Brake upgrade possibly a different Turbo IIRC

And RA's and RA-R's are JDM but can't imagine a hugely different quote for either compared to a UK STi.

Well I recently bought a 1996 STI RA Ver 2 and hardly anyone would touch me insurance wise because of my age. I'm 23 with 3 points and no claims against my name.

Some insurance companies were quoting me £3800, £2000!!! I was just to give up before I rang Greenlight. They got me a policy through Highway Insurance for £987.70 and added my dad on as a named driver at no extra cost.

Excellent service and a very well run company....so try them mate.
