hope this doesn't seem annoying me with these questions but this seemed like a good forum since NJ is notorious for bad insurance so i figured who better to know where to get decent nj then guys with rx-7's who live in this unfair state.



so where do you guys reccommend for good insurance inside NJ?



right now I have First Trenton via MacCormack agency, but i'm trying to find something cheaper.



so what are my options?



thanks in advance,

kevin

teknics.

Insurance in jersey is crazy. I spend 1400 a year for full coverage on my T2 and my 02 blazer combined. I have geico and am married though. You cant get geico in NJ can you?

possibly state farm... ?

no geico in joisee

i have travelers ins. 7000 a year for full coverage on my FD. :(

hmm havent tried state farm, shall give them a call possibly tomorrow.



do you have them, or do you just know of them?



here's to hoping for good rates



kevin

my god, your guyses insurance is unbelievable, mines $125/month full coverage on any car, except a ferrari https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

i go through state farm

my fd is $2200 year

vosko not to intrude but what's your age and what area of nj do you live in?



I'm yet to pass the "23-year-old-gets-giant-rate-drop" goal, and i live in wayne/passaic county which has rather steep rates.



i must put state farm down though, a few people have given me some very good opinions of them, my neighbor being one of them https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



kevin

21 no accidents or tickets. north nj. i just got a speeding ticket a few months ago not even in my own car..... so next year my insurance is gonna up to probably $2800 for the FD.... woohooo.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

had them for about 8 years...

they were the only ones at the time that allowed me to insure everything...

motorcycle to home owners...

its actually 25...

unless they changed it recently...

yup i got 4 more years till i get truly cheap insurance :(

yup i got 4 more years till i get truly cheap insurance :([/quote]

Trust me it doesnt go down THAT much, lol



Then they will give you the "well when you turn 30 it goes down alot" line of ****.

$1500 a year for my FD for full coverage is cheap to me.....

this is great i have some stuff to go with. I'm going to see if after a year liberty mutual will except me back, this time by myself.



I was wondering any wintertime FD meets gonna be goin on? I'll be putting my downpayment on wednesday or thursday hopefully, and will take delivery end of december i hope. I want to get together for some fun and to watch you guys showoff your sick cars https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR



I'll be at englishtown as soon as it opens, either their or at island, with my friends they have a 2001 typeR, and a 12 second eclipse, we also have a friend running an '01 tiburon just for laughs (has a stage 3 clutch haha) I'll probably also have friends around with some civic si's, mustangs, a whole range of stuff.



you guys are great! must remember to sign up for the club as soon as i get my car!



kevin

next meet will be in january. probably a dyno meet https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

great, you can definitely count me in if everything is as planned, finally people to talk about rotors with https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



damn reciprocating engine folks at school, lol.



and due o this thread ill be calling liberty mutual today to get a quote, what kind of coverage do you have for $2200? that way i can see if my insurance is super steep https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



kevin.

full coverage, collision yadda yadda, i have higher than the mininum. second tier. i forget the exact numbers. it actually was like $1800 last year. it went up... NJ imposed a rate increase :(

what is second tier exactly? im not fluent in insurance terminology https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR



hopefully i can grab a plan for like $3000 a year



kevin

i meant like they offer coverage like 150k/50k/50k. i got one step above the minimum LOL

ohhh thats what i was planning to do https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png, seems the best way to do it IMO



thanks for all the help...you know anyone around here who does porting by any chance? (random question but hey this topic has strayed before lol)



kevin.

local shop in paterson. jr's rotary performance. he did all the work on my FD. top notch. why are you asking about just porting ??? wait till you get a car first haha

hehe i'm making a knowledge base for myself.



You're close to paterson? I live right outside of paterson a little ways off of hamburg tunpike in wayne.



You should see i have like a 2 year plan of execution going down in a little word document. This forum is making it easy to get everyone's experiences together, mesh them, then take the best results and decide what to do.



The first stuff i'm doing is mainly cheap (until the power FC and commander) after those mods then im gonna start focusing on intake, exhaust, and more power, more power, and again more power https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



I'm going all out, i want a monster of a car, after having a 4" lifted Jeep, then a 3" lowered Durango, i'm ready for my 2-seater phase haha, i personally think ill be hanging on to this car for a loooooong time.



kevin.

your first mod should be a powerFC in my opinion. that is after you make sure the car has no mechanical problems

here's my mod/addon list for th first month or so (in no apparent order, most will be slapped on at the same time i figure, except the gauges):



99spec taillights (whenever i get time)

Boost gauge

Compression Gauge

Water Temp Gauge

Fan Mod

Change Fluids

Silicone Hoses

Grounding Kit

Koyo Radiator

Aluminum AST

Power FC and Commander



Since at this time in my rotary world you're car is god let me know if i'm missing something https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png. That should be done (except the PFC) for the january dyno meet you might have, soon after i should get the PFC then begin adding the real mods exhaust intake etc.



thanks,

kevin.

WTF is a compression gauge. they are for checking compression on the engine while the car is sitting. you can't have it just chilling LOL



downpipe, catback, intercooler, better fuel pump(SR Ultimate is pretty good), ummm. since i'm good at spending money people don't have.... i'll list some more stuff if you want

the compression gauage is just on there so i remember to buy it to check the engine hehe, forgot to take it off.



Yea those are my "next step" mods. 3" SS Downpipe, some sort of catback, FMIC, i was considering a Supra Fuel Pump.



Yea go ahead list more mods, putting ideas in my head is always good, as i am good at spending money i dont have https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png and it will give me stuff to research. I'm aiming for good quarter mile times, but the ability to break out in a street race when some ugly mustang revs at me or something https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



kevin



BTW, i was reading about NitrousExpress (no i dont want NOS) but you should consider something they have called the "N"-tercooler, it shoots nitrous or CO2 through a tube in front of the intercooler and supposively drops the temp going into the intercooler drastically increasing boost, something like that, dunno the price though.

here's the n-tercooler thiing from their website if you're interested:



"Using either nitrous or CO2 this unit can reduce air inlet temperatures dramatically. In a recent dyno test, a turbocharged Honda, equipped with an NX “N-tercooler ”, increased its baseline by an astounding 52 horsepower! If it makes horsepower, it must be Nitrous Express!"



and it's $492.00 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif



thanks,

kevin.

$500............................ maybe i would get that if i was gonna run N20..... my car has enough power already lol

gimme more stuff to spend money on https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



if i got this car earlier i'd have ~$600 to spend on mods, but instead im getting a video camera, but thats like a mod for the car hehe



kevin.

bigger secondary fuel injectors, adjust fpr, there is so much stuff..........

if youre looking for aftermarket exhaust, you can pm rxaholic(sp). hes selling his, for a decent price. if he hasnt sold it already.

actually he might have a few things u might be interested in, since youre new to the seven.

OK, I am 21.. I wanted to kow how much, Monthly the insurance would cost for an FD, probably 93.. I asked around and it is like $250.00 full coverage.. I would rather shoot myself..If I can get it for like less than $200.00 I can get an FD next year..

you mean $200 month ?

Yeah $200.00 a month.. sorry..

haha i'd love $250 a month, my durango at the moment is like $350 a month https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png.



I sill have yet to call liberty mutual, i've been busy trying to sell some **** and earn more money to put towards the rx7 at the moment, since the durango is in the shop so i cant even try selling it at the moment :(



ill let you guys know how the insurance hunt goes, just heard that insurance rates are going up 14% next year, and without full coverage the prices are almost doubling....god damn state.
