i can get it done for £200 for labour ;) but i dont want a corsa anymore. The engines are slow compared to alot of the other car manufacturers out there.
I mean look at it this way:
1.6 16v GSI = 105bhp possibly 110bhp
1.6 16V Pug 106 GTi = 120-130 bhp



yes then add the extra insurance cost of a 1.6 16v corsa compared to a 106gti.... big difference! then the build quality of the corsa and the pug, corsa kicks arse....


haha, insurance seems to not be much more for me. Only £80 extra. No comment on the build quality, as long as it goes fast. lol
