Auto Insurance Tips- 5 Car Insurance Tips to Save You Money

Here are some great tips that could save you money on auto insurance.

1. Raise Your Deductible

One way to save money on car insurance is to raise your deductible. A higher deductible will result in a lower premium. Just remember that you will need to pay the deductible in the event of the accident. So don't raise it so high, that you can't afford to pay it if you were ever to get in an accident.

2. Take a Driver's Safety Course

Did you know that taking a course in Driver's Safety could save you money on your policy? Many companies offer discounts to customers who complete an approved driving course. See if your insurance company could offer you a discount for this.

3. Choose your Car Wisely

You may not be in the market for a new car right now, but when you are thinking of a purchasing a new vehicle, choose wisely. Don't just look at the sticker price on the vehicle when shopping. Certain cars are more costly to insure than others, so you could end up paying a lot more in car insurance than you expected if you buy that nice sports car instead of the four door sedan. Cars that are more likely to be stolen or that have parts that cost more to replace will be more expensive to insure. Keep that in mind when you decide to purchase a new car.

4. Drive Less

You may be wondering how driving less will save you money on car insurance. Well, many companies offer discounts to people who meet certain low mileage requirements. Start carpooling to work or school. Not only could it save you money on car insurance, but it will also save you money on gas!

5. Compare Quotes from Multiple Companies

You may already have an auto insurance policy in place or you may be looking for one right now. Whatever your situation, it is always important to stay on top of car insurance rates that different companies are offering. If you already have a policy, compare quotes every six months or so to make sure you are getting the best rates out their for your situation. If you are looking for a policy, be sure to shop around before deciding on a company.

Auto Salon Aussie Car of the Month

Part of the reason for getting the custom hubs also revolves around Theo's choice for braking hardware. Behind the 18x9-inch and 18x10-inch Advan RG rims (front and rear, respectively) lies a set of Strange's carbon brake rotors and calipers. Just about the ultimate in race bling, they're normally found on Top Fuel drag machines and are worth around $9000. Able to stop the 9000hp, four-second, 600km/h Top Fuellers from 400km/h in 200m, they're super light and have an important role in improving the rotating mass of the car, as every kilo of rotating mass is worth four kilos to the chassis.

One of the benefits to doing it this way is that they were able to paint the whole car, inside, outside, top and bottom in the distinctive R34 GT-R Bayside Blue, including that sexy custom integral roll cage built by Zagari Engineering with 4130-quality pipework to suit both CAMS and ANDRA regulations. With the 40L fuel cell in the rear full to the brim, Theo's blue flier tips the scales at a waif-like 1068kg, though when you look at the interior accruements it isn't hard to see where so much weight was saved.

While all this sounds like a dream list for ever-lasting competition-smashing drag happiness, Theo just wants to run a number, then re-tune the car for circuit work. What's the goal? Well, once the methanol is all set up, Theo's figuring that a 1.63 60ft time is possible, which should be good enough for an 8.6 second quarter. That first 18m is crucial to getting a cracking time, but with all the goodies packed into this iridescent hell wagon, we don't doubt for a second that it'll crack that eight second barrier wide open.

Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 200 Limited Edition

Inspired by MUGEN Euro’s high-performance Type R, the MUGEN 200 is fitted with unique body parts, wheels and badges to give it stand-out looks. As its name suggests, only 200 of the special Type R models will be made.

On top of the standard features of the Swindon-built Type R (which of course, include Honda’s 201PS, screaming i-VTEC engine) the MUGEN 200 will boast the following:

* Exclusive MUGEN front and rear bumpers with skirts
* 19-inch alloy wheels in ‘Lightning’ design
* MUGEN rear badge
* MUGEN Limited Edition number plaque
* Limited Slip Differential
* Championship White exterior paint
* Gloss black door mirrors

A range of tuning parts, to further enhance the chassis dynamics of the Type R, will also be available as dealer fit options.

The order bank for the MUGEN 200 opens in March, when prices will also be announced.

This limited edition Type R continues the association between Honda (UK) and MUGEN Euro – the Northampton-based subsidiary of Honda’s long standing tuning partner MUGEN. Last year, MUGEN used its 36 years of experience and engineering expertise gained at the forefront of global motorsport, to further develop the Type R, and create the Civic Type R MUGEN of which just 20 units will be made. For more information, visit www.typermugen.com

Original MUGEN tuning parts available
From April, a network of Honda dealers will also offer an exclusive range of original MUGEN tuning parts for Type R owners to use to modify their own cars – both used and new. These parts will be available to buy from a number of selected dealers across the UK, and will offer a range of tuning and cosmetic parts, including sports suspension upgrades, lightweight wheels and interior trim. A list of the MUGEN partner dealerships will soon be available at www.honda.co.uk

BTCC team launched
The limited edition car also celebrates the launch of Honda’s BTCC team for 2010, continuing its long-standing relationship with Team Dynamics. The team will compete in two Civics – which will feature a similar White and Black colour scheme to the MUGEN 200 cars. More details will be announced before the first race of the season, which is at Thruxton on 4 April.
