Is your Nexia 1.5L a SOHC or DOHC??

I know both are available throughout the world but I'm not sure which version the UK had.

When you say backbox are you talking about the intake box attatched to the throttle body?

if comprehensive insurance ends up costing a large percentage of what the car is worth there is a simple solution, dont insure it. My sister would be paying $2500 per year to in sure a $7000 car, so it wasnt insured. My woo costs next to nothing to insure, i dont even pay for it

Not insuring the car is kinda...umm...illegal? Apart from being just dumb, because if you are at fault, you end up paying for the damages you caused (and if you hit a new Benz and total it, that can be upwards of $40,000) in the U.S. if you are found driving without insurance there is a good chance that you can be fined or have your license taken away.

On my Lanos, I have the barebone insurance required by law which is just PIP, Property Damage, etc. Because at 183k miles, its worth basically nothing and I only pay $50 a month ($600 flat a year). Its good because I'm still covered and I'm still legal.

Post by Sterno »

Yeah insurance is a killer, the most basic insurance 4 my nexia in the uk still costs ?1500 per year! so i hve 2 insure my car in my mums name! If u get caught driving in the uk wit out insurance u can kiss good bye 2 ur license and u can be send 2 jail if u r in an accident.

bin lookin at the czech nexia website theres some nice cars on there if u haven't u shud check it out!
