[eo52vug]

Not bad .

 

[Big Iain]

tell him to fix the oil seals first!

 

[CupWhite]

i know yeah as if anyone is going to buy it knowing the oil seals are gone and its "driveable" great eh 8 grand and its driveable.

How hard is it to fix this?

 

[dick]

ye deffo get them 2 bits sorted,would put a LOT of ppl off i bet.

 

[Mikey197]

Now that is a lovely sleeper, shame about the handling of them things, i had a 1 litre and it went straight at every corner, no wonder what a 2 litre does. lol. Would be good for red light racing though.

 

[AlexClio]

im sure it would put a people off but for the pure fun of driving it, someone must like it. you wudnt think it would be hugely fast but my god, the torque is unreal. i have never been pushed back into a seat like that in a smal car.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Awesome little sleeper

 

[CupWhite]

i wouldn't be having much fun in a car that could be fucked for all i know. Obviously i dont know how big of a job it is to fix or how much it effects the drive etc. 8 grand is a lot for potentially a nail.

Looks nice and bet it does go like stink but i dont think it will sell without sorting the problems. If i had the spare cash id be tempted myself as i had a 53 plate sxi prior to the cup and it was a very good car imo.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Turbo oil seals is a small job.

Not a nail at all. Send it away for a recon, job done. No more than a hundred quid, if you know the right people.

 

[Batman]

196bhp? aint that much really i was expecting 300bhp atleast for a start

 

[Greeny.]

If its such an small easy job then the seller should sort it before putting his car up for 8k and calling it "driveable"

 

[crazycup]

nicely done that mate, where abouts in washington is he from??? I havent seen it around

 

[DH_GTI]

nice !!!!!

 

[adammichael]

8 grand bit steep

 

[adammichael]

my mates after one of them irmsher grilles

 

[CupWhite]

196 aint that good either is it really, its a small job fair enough but should be sorted before selling. Especially for 8 grand

 

[AlexClio]

196bhp? aint that much really i was expecting 300bhp atleast for a start

he was expecting more power when he had the car done but putting that figure out of ur head, its fast. goes off the clock in about 30 seconds, revs really quick, sounds the nuts, torque is unbelievable. just overtaking someone threw me into the back of the seat.

hes from biddick mate. always out in the car, he was at FCS and always about crusing.

 

[cat171]

re.....

 

[Ian_182]

Its a nice sleeper but 8k would buy one hell of an evo 3-4

 

[youngsyp]

Don't want to be a stick in teh mud but, any potential buyer might want to read this: http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/turboChargerBasics/turboChargerBasics.html

Effectively, that turbo won't last long in it's current condition and, it's likely to be quite damaged running the way it is.

nice one, its not far from me. pretty sure it would tear my cup a new one but i'd certainly have a shot!! didnt got to FCS me like:dapprove:

 

[Djw Dave]

I like it

 

[miltage2]

not bad but not worth 8k!!

 

[rustybolt]

for £700 he could have the seals done, tracking done and a remap taking it to around 270bhp.

Why would anyone pay 8k for a broken car?

Tell him to sort it.

Bit of a c**t to fit dont bother imo!!

I have been in a corsa b with the old C20let engine and have been told its also the better of th two (z20, c20). It had 270 odds and completely tore my 172 apart, caught me with ease and past me at !40 plus just as he was selecting 6th lol

C20let corsas are ace, mate at work has one, one of the quickest things i have been in!!

 

[Big Iain]

too many bodge jobs about now!! sitting all squinty coz they dont sit in right.

 

[ollie]

One of the nicest Corsas I've seen tbh :approve:

 

[Graham Gooch]

I'd have to piss off car snobs.

 

[JJ!]

Would get the car fixed first!

8k sounds about right, a 05 standard SRi will set you back around 6-7k so its not bad.

Buty i dont understand why you would sell it like that? If its such a small job then im sure buyers will be wondering why its not been done.

 

[Djw Dave]

Yup!! Cheap/badly mate mounts, we both work for Vaux so his is done right, im sure he is using all m-tech mounts, it runs the 6speed box convered to 2wd, the list goes on alot of power for the money, but it felt wrong to go that fast in a corsa B. lol

 

[Big Iain]

150 plus gets scary esp when the wipers wanna peel off the window, I was told u had to put the engine into the bay in bits? so it would fit right? His was a six speeder too.

 

[Gaz_]

thats mint that

 

[G9TUS]

i used to have a corsa C and I have always loved this car!!

 

[Leeshez]

Looks good.

 

[J182sport]

i got offered this + cash for my trophy! wasnt interested tbh!

This job was hard to do on the corsa C's now it seems to be done lots,get the bits polished off and working well and it should go!
