General 1.2 Stilo

[AppleSei]

I could post this in the insurance bit but i feel i would get a quicker answer here, but feel free to move stu or any other stilo mod

What is the insurance group for the 1.2 stilo base model (is it active?) out of interest??

Mind be severing my ties with cento and move here if i can find a good one

 

[wolfracepunto]

Group 4 I think. (JTD only grp 5 )

 

[Stu DemonD]

A JTD would be a very good move, especially if insurance is an issue.

All depends on your budget, though? How much you got to play with

Well according to the below site, its group 4

Personally id go for either the 1.6 (or jtd if you dont mind driving a log burner) there not going to be much more to insure being only group 5

 

[wolfracepunto]

Just imagine- 170bhp with a car which is insurance grp 5 It makes too much sense......

Obviously with the declared exhaust system

Getting to 155bhp is cheaper!

Then again, not sure if AppleSei likes to enjoy cars to their full potential he may enjoy spanking a 1.2

Cheaper?? Tune it to the max I say, whatever's needed to do it Who cares about the clutch eh...

The JTD will be more expensive than the equivalent 1.2 and diesel costs more at the pumps, but its more than worth it imo.

How so? I believe I am at 150 currently but 170?

 

[wolfracepunto]

Different exhaust system apparently. I dont know what would be different though- cat/manifold/downpipe......or everything? And why cant the standard system take 170bhp?

 

[bozzy]

Sounds interesting but I bet it costs a fortune? These things usually do

 

[wolfracepunto]

Well you can get a turbo-back exhaust for a car like mine, which includes a new hi flow cat/downpipe/backbox/tailpipe and is around 375quid. Its from Blueflame. But I dont know whats actually replaced on the Stilo JTD, so dont know the cost.

Hmm forgot all about the diesel :chin:

As for current funds not high It was more out of interest, i need more space i think that the sei.

My mate in the trade is gonna look out for one for me both 1.2 and JTD

 

[Stu DemonD]

Define not high? We talking a few grand here, lol....

A couple of grand which wouldnt get me one. If i was to get one i would want an almost new one, like i said my mate is putting the feelers out for a decent one, interested to see how much 52 plate ones would go for at auction :chin:

For the time being i am possibly getting insured on the old mans car the new poxhall astra 1.6 club, which will keep me happy for five mins as im 21 next week :woot:

But i wouldnt mind a stilo i never thought much of them till i saw a slver one with the claw alloys parked up :yum:
