dilemma

[epo]

right heres the situation

i really want a turbo ive wanted one since i was 16 origionally i was after a rs turbo but with the money i have its a no no
a mate of mine has offered me a rover turbo for ?300 he just wants his money back
it spot on apart from a head gasket leakwhich need sortin as its pishin oil out
am very tempted to sell the nova and run\mod this

ne 1 got ne opinions on this or what rover turbo's r like

ps its also a 5 door which wud be spot on with the kids

[epo]

forgot to mention its an 820 turbo

[Dpnova]

get a let in your nova 8)

[epo]

its affordin the conversion mate u see id have to sell the nova to pay for the rover and the insurance

struddelin with the insurance 4 this turbo at the mo ne way so might not be on the cards ne way

pished off that mines so high when ive not had an acciedent or ne thing basically seems am payin high due to stereotypical views on young drivers and the insurance shits themselveves as soon as u say 23 (my age) and the word turbo :evil:

mate, I'm sure if you tried the right companies you could get it quite cheap with your age...

Ask Breeny who he was with he had his LET Nova when he was 21 (?) IIRC

[Stuart]

id say go for it.

big car, its gonna be fairly fast. me dad had a 620 Ti and it sodding flew

just make sure you have good tyres for the wet on thr front as rovers tend to understeer like mofos.

try norwich union for insurance

is a 23yr old can insure an omega for less than ?500 then im sure a 2l turbo shouldnt be a problem lol

[Chris]

dont do it epo
as cambridge said "my dad had a 620"

your not old enough yet :lol:

[Jack]

Epo, try www.elephant.co.uk (which i think are done by Norwich Union)... they quoted me ?750 or so TPFT (+?100 for FC) for a 98 Nissan 200SX S14a (2.0 16v Turbo, gp 17) and i'm 22 with 5yrs ncb, 3pts, parked on driveway, 12,000 miles a year etc

Ok so ?750 is somewhat expensive, but when you consider most of the other companies wouldn't even quote me, and those that did were just silly prices its not too bad!! :P

[Breeny]

You can get insured on anything if your willing to pay the price... trust me :)

I;ve just had this dilemma. My dad offered me a 2ltr 16v Turbo Diesel (1994cc, 190bhp) Rover 400 saloon. Its 5 door n much space for giving lifts etc. taxed n mot'd.

So i decided to take it but am not sure wot i am gunna do with the mini. The 600 and 200 seem to be most popular rovers, so a 820 modded would be different.

I'm 17 and gone on a policy with my dad, total ?503.46. Not bad i suppose

[epo]

i first tried cis they wudnt then i tried em in r lasses name was on the phone an hour waitin 4 a quote while they spoke to the underwriters and they never even bothered gettin back to me

tried a few others and they were stupidly high

ill keep lookin
but also lookin at buyin a 5 turbo so will have to see what comes up

[Dpnova]

dont get a 5 :?

get a rs turbo 8)

[epo]

was lookin for one but there really expensive like i ay ill just keep my eyes open for one

[Dpnova]

Good man, i have a multi coloured 1.2i for sale if you want it :P

[epo]

[burgo]

nooooooooooooooooo dont get an rs ull get problems in the first month of ownin it i promise them engines are wank

[Dpnova]

does it have a turbo :?

[epo]

soda stream lets get busy with the fizzy :lol:
