What can I get for my budget

Don't worry about imports and insurance, its a bit of a myth that seems to still be doing the rounds. Go to a specialist insurer rather than some faceless generics ones like Admiral et al. and insurance is fine. A quick google shows autos as being around 0.3 to 0.5 seconds slower 0-60 sprint but to be honest if you are not tracking it then when are you ever going to notice?

But has a bit of wheel arch rust just bubbling up. From the pics I'd say no bigger then 5p on the rear arches

 

Rust on the rear arches is one of the main things I'd avoid if you can. Front wings aren't so bad because they're cheap/replaceable but the rear is part of the body so can be very expensive if rust has to be cut out and new plate welded in.

I thought Jap imports  were to be avoided. Cos there could be issue with insurance and such... am I wrong?

Hi.

If you need any help with insurance at all for a UK or import model then please feel free to drop me a line. I'd be only too pleased to try and help.

Regards,

Dan.

Try the insurers on here listed in the traders section. They will be used to calls from the forum with all sorts of modifications etc. 

 

I have used Adrian Flux, Chris Knott, A-Plan in the past (all three have insured my imported cars) there is also Sky insurance as well.
