Just rang up flux to get quotes to move my insurance over to a s2000 
I'm currently paying £320 to insure my 106 gti,
I'm 24, got 6 years NCB, occupation 'software engineer'.
They quoted me, tpft £1500 and F/C £2500 
So for a laugh I decided to get a quote on a Z3M, similar car - but a lot more powerful (300 + bhp rather than 240)...
Quote for Z3m same age and value as S2000, £800 f/c ?? WTF.
Anyone know any good insurers for 'hondas' / 'jap cars' / s2000s?

s2000 an import ? 
Vtec power, that's way, Vtec 240bhp is the equivalent of 500bhp.

Get a ZM then mate better car all in.
S2000's andITR's are just silly money to insure because of the stupid badgers who drive them.

Yeah but Bell wont allow for modifications or will charge silly money for adding an ezhaust from example.

Best so far £990 with admiral F/C but with £1000 excess (do I have to pay that if it gets nicked? or just if i smash it?). I never claim off insurance anyway.

what was rediculous was...
as a 'software engineer' - I got quoted £944
as a 'Computer programmer' I got quoted £848.
and before I added my mum on as a named driver it was quoting £1250 f/c... with her it's £848.
