Aminul Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Hi All, My name is Aminul, I'm 19 (turning 20 vey soon) and would like to learn a lot more about the range of Zed models available before purchasing the right one. I currently drive a 2002 Toyota Celica 190 and am very well known on he celica club uk forum. I'm also part of another independent group called celicrew based in London. Here's our facebook page: https://www.facebook...53651238168197/ I currently run my own detailing company called ai detailing. Do follow on instagram to check out some of my work @ai.detailing After owning the celica for just over a year now, I really want something abit more powerful and RWD. But I want to spend some time on the forum here and learn abit more about Zeds before purchasing one. That's the mistake I made when purchasing my Celica. I didn't learn anything about it and didn't realise there was much better ones for sale on the forum. Due to my young age, NO insurance company is wiling to insure me on a Zed which isn't surprising. And those who do give me a quote, well its better not knowing lol. My main on this forum is to try and take as much advice and soak up all the knowledge I can here before purchasing one. And hopefully by then my insurance quotes will be lower. My preferences so far are a white 350z convertible. Any common faults to look out for? I look really forward to getting to know you all, and as a detailer, I'll be very active in the detailing section. Edited February 16, 2015 by Aminul Quote
jonty88 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I cant offer much advice on the type of Z you are looking for but ive had my Z for 2 days now and I love it. Like you I had (and still have as its up for sale) a 2005 Celica which I owned for 3 years. The Z is a perfect step up as the driving position and pedals are much like the Celica in that sense, but the car rides and performs a lot better. Im 23 now but got the Celica at 20, my Z costs 550 for the year which isnt bad but I have had my licence for 6 years (7 this year). It may be best to wait another 2 years for cheaper insurance depending on how much your willing to pay! Welcome to the forum Quote
Aminul Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks Jonty Yes by the look of it I'm going to have to wait a year or two. But in that time I just to soak up as much knowledge as possible from the older, more experienced members here. £550 for the year is really good! But I live in London so mine will probably be a hell of a lot higher Quote
rabbitstew Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Welcome! Loads of info on here and as you have a good while before you`ll be able to insure one, you have plenty of time to become an expert on them! Quote

Aminul Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 LOL my keyboard is broken Thanks for spotting that out Quote
brillomaster Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Haha sorry I know its only a typo but it made me chuckle! Anyways, welcome to the forum - best of luck with the car search - a white convertible might be quite hard to find! you may need to get a cheap silver one and get it wrapped. Quote
Aminul Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 thanks ZMANALEX and nooooooo.... if anything I'll get it resprayed. as a professional detailer I'd never wrap my car Quote
Zedd Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Welcome mate! When do you reckon you'll be getting a 350? Quote
