Stick with ST or Go GT?, Problem is im only 21 in uk the insurence will take my pants down Options

[nyawton]

Hey guys got a bit of a tough choice to make soon,

Well about me,

Im 21 & currently hold a full Uk licene with 0 years no claims,

I managed to get insured on a 1.8 st for £1800 (altho i upgraded from a saxo 1.4 so diddnt pay the full £1800 in one go, but thats another storey)

Well soon its coming up to my 1 years no claims so i could just about to get a GT,
Renewal for a 1.8 st = £1200
Upgrade insurence to GT = £1400

My whole aim on this is to get a car worth doing up, full body kit etc, I cant do much on the engine as this will boost insurence thru the roof!

What would you guys do in my position? Hope this makes sence

Cheers

i thought the uk got 3sge in the gts

i am not sure about that either. i keep hearing both ways. they have a 5sfe, they have a 3sge,
either way the gt is a better platform to build up IMO. since it has the s series motor swaps are a lot easier for the 3sgte or beams 3sge. it also has the rear disks. from the sound of it though, you don't want to mod the engine at all. if that's the case, there really isn't all that big a diff. (atleast that i could tell since i have owned both) there was a video that someone put on here of a st and gt both doing autocross on the same track and the st won.
i would keep the st and save on insurance. maybe do a rear disk conversion.
