will do! cheers

im prety sure its for thr 2ltr as even i wouldnt pay 800 to insure a 1.2 with 3 years no claims!

As far as checking the engine, same as on a normal car. Test drive it, listen to it. Get underneath and have a good look for signs of leaks. Also try and find out a bit of history on the eng. Where it come from? How many miles? Service history? etc...

Is that insurance quote telling them its a 2ltr then or thats its still a 1.2?

also how come if its booked as a 1.2i he cant insure it?

I know it will obvoiusly not be a 1.2 but surely he can just tell the insurance company its a 1.2?

also what are the signs of a hard life on the red top 2ltr 16v?

any hepl would be appreciated!

800 quid. Thats good aint it!?

hey guys remember this car aint for me!i would never get decent insurance for it.

its for a mate who is 22 with 3 years no claims, think he's got quotes for around 800 fc.

cheers about the mounts mate. The guy thats selling is a mate of a mate type thing and he's done a fair few conversions so i'd assume it ok.

check the engine mounts and that have been strengh welded properly aswell, last thing your mate wants is for the engine mount thingys to crack under the stress from the engine

if i had the cash id buy it
but i dont have the cash

Think he means he'd not insure as 2.0 :mad:

Buy it and insure it properly, nothing better than a sleeper :thumbs:

get some insurance quotes
then buy it as long as the engine is good

i love the wolf in sheeps clothing thing.

i would say it would piss of loads of saxo drivers but im 1 of them!

im thinking the same as no idea about 2ltr engine and where its been. its still booked as a 1.2 aswell.

If its all in good confition then it sounds good. As long as the 2ltr aint been ragged about to much.

Nothing wrong with it looking like a merit, get it tuned up and keep it standard. The amount of people u would piss off as you pulled away from them! :lol:

Can u afford too insure it?? if so... GO FOR IT!!!!!!

dependsin engine condition... but sounds like a fairly good shell for a project

m-reg corsa 1.2 (i think its a merit as no trim and grey bumpers. shell has done 50k and in good condition in white. It has

2ltr 16 valve engine
full jamex suspension kit
stainless steel exhaust with new manifold
cavy GSI brakes

and the guy wants £1800 for it.

what u think? it looks like a lowered merit!he's got to give an answer soon so please let me know what u think.
