i got paid today, so im gonna take the car to the garage sometime in the next coupla a weeks. Dunno what im gonna do without it! Why not go for a 1.8 or 2.0 if you are gonna go for a conversion anyway? I know insurance will be more, but it might work out cheaper and more fun in the long term. I've definately got a 2.0 16v in mind in a year or 2.

Yes you are right. It does not idle without prompt of the acceleration pedal.

I decided not to do it as i would be losing out, hes keeping it for a couple of months so i might buy it later, i love the looks of a corsa but they're so slow compared to rival hatches :( dont know what to do :boggle:

Its like that with most older cars though...the risk u take unfortunatley...

I would go with the 205 if I had a 1.4 or below...as the performace gain would be worth the risk of breakdown..if I had a 1.6 though i wouldnt bother...

In your situation I would sell your car yourself and buy the 205 off him cash...

been offered a 205 and a grand for my car.

the 205 is a 1.9 in a 1.6, with straight through exhaust, rally cams, a few other tuned bits n a immobiliser.

its real fast, only thing i've witnessed him race was a 2.0 206gti (think theyre 2.0?) and it kicked its ass easy

where as i bought my car for 2100, and with the mods ive done its about 800, so basically i'm doing a straight swap for the cars.

the 205 is so fast and has the 1.9alloys (lush), but its old and doesnt tick over. whereas my car is clean but slow :(

any suggestions?

ps, if i bought the 205 i could pay off most of my car loan

205



mine
