Sorry buddy the Corsa is sold and so are all of the parts - had em advertised on here for ages.
After 4 years of Corsas i've got myself the car i've wanted for ages!
May the modding commence!

Its the 2.2 with a full Remus stainless system which sounds mean!
Couldn't easily insure the turbo for less than a grand plus it drinks more petrol. So this'll do for now.
Nearly twice the engine of my sxi!

The 888 parts alone cost nealry £2k before spraying so it aint cheap.
Planning Rieger race kit, but gotta keep it hush hush from the insurers!
cheers for the comments guys

I had a 2.2 SRi 3dr hatch from work for a while.
I enjoyed the power, I was at 130mph on A414 before i knew it! I didnt enjoy the the handling or mpg!! A VTR did me round a roundabout with ease, and i managed to eat thru 3/4 of a tank in 150 miles!! 
Great brakes tho! i'm guessing the coupe is the same set up?

I think only the engine is the same with the 2 mate. Coupes are made in Italy apparantly.
Had it lowered so it corners better and can get around 250-300 miles on £35 worth or petrol which aint that bad.
Had a fair few boy racers try it on and so far not much is keeping up with me, so can't complain!
Plan to have it remapped soon to improve the BHP so that should help too.
cheers
