How much extra is it usually to insure a Jap Import over a UK model of the same car year etc?

Its pretty obscene considering its the same bloody car!! Some insurance companys are up to 40% higher than the uk model.
I would get a uk N/A, there no point buying a jap unless you want a limited edition.

I don't think you'll be able to insure that for under £1500 with the mods listed.
You may aswell buy a Turbo and leave it standard.

Its a 2.0 model.
Can't really afford the running cost of a turbo, RX7 etc. And really like the look of that MR2
But double the insurance, think i may have to give it a miss
