Hey guys, unsure what i want to do with my corsa b, i don't know if you remember, but i blew the engine up, timing chain went n all that, stripped the engine and was pretty fucked no point fixing it, so replaced the engine in it but i've still got the damage down the side. But i've been in my mates turbo diesel ZX with the boost wound up, and it's making me want a turbo diesel was thinking the 306 TD as its same engine. This is where am unsure, as insurance is much cheaper on the corsa, by 100 odd quid. Just don't know weather to keep the corsa or not? I've always wanted a corsa b, and now i've got 1. I really just cant be bothered with it, its got no power as its a 1 litre, and is really dull to drive. So do i get mine fix n mod it? Or go diesel next year?
What are your forts?  1.9 Turbo Diesel 306 or keep corsa?

I had a 1.2 16v corsa as a first car, and decided a turbo diesel would be the way forward so bought a 1.9 A4 (1996). This was a mistake, the noise, smell and fumes from a diesel are too much to live with. I was so happy to move back to a 1.2 8v corsa. Each to thier own, but ill be retired before I have another diesel

Thats the thing with the old deisels, smell, fumes etc. Although most newer mapped deisels kick out a fair whack of smoke anyway.

Well, i woke up this morning, to find a fuckin van driver, has driven in too my car. Load of white paint down it, t cutted it out, and has left a nice big dent, and creases down the side. Found out with company it was, and my step dad will be ringing them up. Really loosing interest in this car. It's just 1 thing after a fuckin other!
