skyvia · 03-09-2007, 22:34

17 on the 5th of sept and obviously going for my licence straight away.
anyway i got in to drifting a few years ago and when i get my licence would like to get a fun rear wheel drive car, but been 17 and lacking in funds i was wondering if any one had any ideas what a good car would be to start off with a small engine that would be good on insurense and cheap to get and prefeably jap but not essencial.

sierra unless you got some serious moneys

it's likely you probably won't be able to afford jap for a while, insurance tend to rape 17-18 yr olds for any insurance, let alone jap!

im 20 and got a volvo 340 1.7 and the insurance isnt too bad. I'd imagine a 2lt sierra might be a tad more on insurance at your age, but it'd be worth checking. Unfortunatly BMW's are fairly expensive on insurance when your young as well, but might be worth getting a quote on a 318 e30.

Good luck

RWD jap and cheap inurance, not likely unless you find a uk AE86 GT (infact I doubt very much with soaring values that they are cheap anymore, used to be gp 10!)

I could advise if you really want to, and are prepared to wait.. keep your eye on the classic car trader magazines and on ebay and autotrader/pistonheads etc. until something like a toyota corona or other 70's small engined classic comes along! they are often dirt cheap to insure even under a normal policy! but parts dont come along easily if you break it... best bet, stick with something common and rwd like a skoda, lada, ford etc. and keep to the family friendly models! get something front wheel drive and cheap like a civic/crx 16v for your speed fix.

Try an old capri and swap the engine out for something a little louder

Mk1 MX-5s are easy to get hold of, and the insurance is pretty cheap as well. But, your best bet is a Volvo 340/360 imo, cheap and chearful.

buy a jap car you want 200sx or somthing' put the car in your dads name and have you as a second driver on the insurance.....

welcome to drift works bud...

get your self a 200sx bud s13 i had one when i was 17 and insured it for £1725 in my moms name for 12months but on limited millege and used my daihatsu charade gtti 1liter rocket as a daily driver so i could ern my no claims...................

and now i drive a 300bhp+ R32 skyline and i pay £1450 a year on my own insurance and im only 20..

the parts are very common and easy to come by and cheep so its an ideal first drifter and they get megga respect if you choose the write parts to get a good look..

if you are going to do it then do it properly go jap nothin eles comes close...

What a stupid response...

Good job he doesnt want any NCB for the future really... I think theres only one insurance group that will allow the second named driver to collect the NCB... Either way, its a pretty stupid way of letting a 17yr old in a 200bhp+ car...

Your 29, and had to use your dad for insurance on a 3000cc... Says it all... I used the insurance policy correctly, and had a 300zx TT at the age of 20.. Says it all really..

Id say go for something cheap.. Make your mistakes in something youd wanna scrape a bit.. Dont use mummy or daddy...
