I've given up with cars. You spend all your time and money on them and then someone will hit it with a door or key it. After my Corsa got keyed and the engine went pop i gave up. I bought another new car because i do 24,000 miles a year for work and anything else i do on top. I don't really care about it tbh. Not been cleaned since i got it 2,000 miles ago.

You ever tried driving one in the wet?
It wont have a rear ARB so belive me the back will just go if its damp

It also won't have an LSD, so it'll spin one wheel like all of the ones I drove on a damp oval circuit when I used to race bangers.

My 1.6 sport is way faster than a bmw 318. Granted i had a lexmaul, viper, and full system but from a standing start i could easily get a cars length ahead half way through second gear. I was playing with one ages ago it was very slow.

this one is an older one so its got 115bhp i believe, but the post 88 ones had 140bhp apparantly! my car is my hobby but i've got my dirtbike for going fast,and nowadays its so easy to get in trouble on the roads it just doesnt seem worth it.still enjoy working on my car,saves me alot of money in servicing etc.

Gotta drive it like an arse to hang the back end out, my old fella had one like your and it used to get driven hard every where it went and never once let go. with and without DSC.

I plan to own a BMW E30 in the future, get it you have nothing to loose but a few hours and a few £££ on any parts it may need!
All fun and experience, if all goes wrong sell it.

My old E36 felt dangerous in wet conditions, irrelevant of the lack of power...budget tyres and rwd it was a nightmare.

I love pissing about with cars and will never get bored. I'm just a car nut. I bought this corsa with the intention of just keeping it standard etc but have already started modding it lol
