Is it really that much to insure a car these days at 18?! There is no way I could have afforded to have a car! |

Afraid so Iain, its madness. Average price for an 18yo male is £2500, and thats for a shopping cart not anything fruity.

I'll tell them to try flux then I guess. I remember paying £600 for my £40 escort when I was 17 and that seemed a fortune!! |

His problem will be that insurance companies won't see a vauxhall engine transplant as a small modification, no matter how straight forward it might be. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Good thing about turbo motors is you could do a dyno run with say 1psi boost get tiny power, get a prinout for the insurance and then turn it up a bit and do the real one On 17th Feb, 2011 apbellamy said:
