An LSD will work to some affect to counter the power going to the front wheels, but the main problem is the sheer weight of the engine over the front wheels. V6 engines are very heavy, this is why they are more suited to larger cars or mid-engined monsters, the centre of gravity is raised as the engine sits higher in the bay, wrecking the suspension geometry. | |

The V6 conversion in a corsa is a complete waste of time. Any corners can be taken but you will get massive under-steer and not much fun at all. Stick with a 2.0 16v conversion | |

im not sure about the corsa cost wise but my mate had to pay about 500 quid just for custom manifolds and where both downpipes join the lambda sensor ended up behind driver and passenger seats under car.and needed about 4 boxes to keep it quiet enough. | |
