New engine from Vauxhall is about £1.5k, then a turbo kit from M Vaux will set you back about £700 I think. Fitting kit is about £500. Then there is the rest of stuff which is about £500.

Yes you would be amazed where after a while you car will need welding

Though just looking at a normal Corsa you wouldn't think "oh, its gonna go there".

I can't explain very technically....

Take the wheel off, look towards the engine, the shaft comes from one place, and there is metal around where it comes out, cracks have started there. And on the front of the car where the tie bar goes. Few other places too..

When (finally) the engine comes out, it shall be attatcked with avengance with the welder. Hopefully making the shell more rigid will make it grip more.

Factory fast is boring, and would have to be a beast to be quicker than LET corsa imo
