Did you manage to get a bargain price, given that the new Type-R is just out?

Virdi · 15 Mar 2007 at 08:00

Congrats!

It cost me an extra £370 till the end of the year on my current insurance (Paying £500) with 3 years NCB (Started off on the rents :rolleyes:

)

I didnt think it was too bad considering its group 18, Normally 25 is the age which insurance comes down quite a bit.

Well my Dads ordered the new CTR, which hes still waiting for. So I brought it off of him, Dad>Son Rates

Best place to start mate on a small car, it builds up your NCB. Although if you dont need a car its pointless

Darkaber · 15 Mar 2007 at 08:31

If you drove it, you'd find that the gear stick makes perfect sense and feels more natural than a standard layout

Nice

Had mine for almost a year now (was 22 at the time too) and it still puts a smile on my face.

Now get a Spoon N1 backbox and Spoon b-pipe it really make it sound meaner and improves throttle response at lower revs.
