right i keep on going down the road of wanting a new car e.g supra lol then i look at me corsa n think hmmmm to keep or not top keep ive had it about 7-8 months now and it feels like im driving a 1.0 just to slow for me its a standard gsi minus the fact its got a 2.5 inch bore cat back scorpian exhaust on it and a stupidly big induction kit. I dont want to go down the ruite or sticking an xe init as there just 200 to many of them around now days lol. Its a big debate between myself to keep and make it abit quicker or sell and by a proper car that i wouldnt really be able to afford the petrol for

Ive been going through a similar thing with my astra, whether to keep that and do stuff to it, keep it and buy the trans am (goina be expensive to run both), sell astra and get cheap corsa sport and the trans am, or just sell up, get cheap corsa, pay off last of debt and go on holiday

Very hard decision mate. I ran 2 previous MR2 turbos, the latter having just under 300bhp and sold it to pay off debt 
Bought the 1.6 corsa which is very slow in comparision, but am enjoying the benefits of cheaper insurance (£400 FC) cheaper running costs maintenance etc. i don't actually mind driving it to be fair. Cheap fun hatch back.
Will keep the Corsa 1.6 Sport and buy another Jap turbo nutter when the funds arise

Obviously supra, but it's never as easy as just 'getting' the supra etc.
If finances weren't involved I certainly wouldn't be a member on here and would still be driving around in my t bar turbo MR2
