Are you making enough money to support the car? You need to keep that in mind also as VL Turbo's like to blow **** up regularly, and the way they get driven (constant thrashing) they don't mind guzzling down the Optimax

Turbo boxes are mx7, n/a are mx5.. like rb20 boxes. As for insurance good ****ing luck hahaha Not a single company ever touched me, and ive tried everyone, i mean EVERYONE. Only Just car said they would do 3rd party for $800 a year with a $1000 excess. If you are any of these: young (especially 18) ], with a modified VL Turbo, or previous driving suspensions, you wont get insuranc anywhere, no lie. (I am all of the above)

Hey brothers, lets join, and make our own insurance company! Our motto: Like to speed? Pull a few donuts at the traffic lights? Lost your licence? Tiwce? Not a problem... Got a car capable of outrunning the cops? We'd love to hear from you. Yound, Dumb, Reckless Drivers. 'The streets are our racetrack' Maybe the insurance companys have a point... :?
