Guest Luder Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Hi All! Finally bought myself a nice Supra after a good long while of looking and trying to find the right one! Can't wait for it to be registered as it has just been imported from Japan! It is a 1995 RZ TT 61,000 miles with nice mods and a BPU upgrade and others. Previously owned cars have been Honda Prelude, Subaru Impreza WRX and most recently a Nissan Skyline R33 GTST with 380 BHP. For Insurance I am with Aviva incase there are any looking for a new quote as I pay £460 Fully Comp, 1 years NCB, give em a try you may get a great deal, leaves more money for the car!! I am 26, female and I live up in Scotland so as soon as I get the Supe I will be undersealing it myself and giving plenty of love through maintenance and polishing - great to be back on the road and look forward to chatting to you all BTW its Manual 6 speed Piccys: Amy Edited November 29, 2011 by Luder (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Luder Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ty will deffo come to some meets as I was involved in the Skyline meets in Aberdeen and had a good laugh! HateEvent, Im up in Fraserburgh How about you?! Ty for the comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Looks lovely. Just a quick word of warning though, that insurance quote with only 1 years NCB sounds very suspect. Check your documentation thoroughly to be sure that they have the correct model of supra and that you have in fact chosen import rather than UK spec. It happens all the time so it's best to be safe rather than sorry. Welcome aboard though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luder Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey Scott, Yeah I made sure to check out everything fully and specify so no worries ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I just tried for a quote and they don't give the option to insure imports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm in the city centre of Aberdeen. marcAB10 and monsween are located here too. There are plenty of local meets for you to attend as well as the bigger ones which will happen midway through 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Welcome Amy! Nice looking Sup you've bought. I did think the same as Scott though - UK spec is usually the only one most will touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Welcome, I just tried Aviva and they wont quote for an import, only the uk spec listed, i'd be checking your insurance very closely They do list imports in the drop down box but will only give you a quote if you choose the uk spec model ! Try LWIB, im with them and get very good service and a great price, they insure supras and understand the differances, they also do agreed value policy on imports http://www.lwib.co.uk The quote Aviva gave me for a uk car which i have was over £70 more than i pay with LWIB and that wasn't including the points on my license Edited November 29, 2011 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Luder Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey Alex, Ty Lots of good advice on here, I was browsing the forum before and got loads of info on here, best place I have seen !! Will check out the meet dates and see if I am home from offshore Where do you guys recommend getting some headlights for my Supe as the JDM ones are needing a refresh!

stevie_b Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Welcome to the club. That's a large tail on that Corsa! Looks like you did it to a high standard so good on you. As for the headlights, you could try one of the breakers on here (e.g. keron) for some glass UK-spec ones, or try refurbishing the plastic JDMs yourself (involves baking in an oven and using a cutting compund IIRC).

Guest Luder Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Okay so I called Aviva again, because they couldnt quote over the internet on Jap imports (they only do some apparently, but only if you call) the quote went up a bit, but I'm still not complaining, all mods declared and approx value - 26, 1 yr NCB for £643 Still very happy as my Skyline was over £1300 ! Hope you guys try em as I couldn't find a better quote anywhere! P.S thanks for the welcomes and advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the club woah thats a hell of a quote still!! being over 25 helps meaning you are not classified as a young driver plus being female you get a good quote.
