If ure looking at £2040 for insurance on a calibra turbo.

It will be similar for the corsa.

Infact a calibra turbo was alot cheaper to insure than my car is

Building one yourself takes mechanical knowledge and sufficient training, if you have that, go for it, build it to your custom spec and you know the car inside out as you would have built it.

Buying one is quicker, you get the end product immediately, but you don't know what could happen to the car/engine 6months down the line as you didn't witness the build and it's quality.

Now, I read that those 'DTM' Edition Calibra's came with 240bhp out of the box. Couldve been a misprint though.

Cheers Scoob :)

Even mine has had its problems, and I've seen some shocking efforts that are just massive black holes for money!

If you can do all the work yourself, build it yourself! If not get it done dude
