yeah i know FOR NOW

The engine has basically had a rebuild then was driven 1k miles in a nova then was taken out and replaced with a higher power engine and i bought the engine i have now for 450 from London. So i think it has done around 2 or 3k miles and at the moment it shows it. sounds like a brand new engine at the moment.

Approx 2500/3000 in mine now so far....

* Nackered Altenator (Bought new one & fitted).
* Rear heater coolant hose popped off twice as it was too short. Lost all my coolant 3 times before buying a new decent length sized hose.
* Crappy machined hubs were machined wrong so bought some cossvaux ones and new bearings.
* Still have my wee oil leak, lost 2.5 litres since I got it (keep topping it up).
* CV Boot has split as it catches the wishbone/balljoint outer bolt head when the cars jacked (My silly-long travel bilstein suspension) - getting new boot asap & grease.

Seriously anyone that thinks they can have a good valver conversion for £1500 all-in is joking, you should double it for the repair bills etc!

i'll calculate it again....

Seats, 300 each - 600
Brakes - 800
Wheels + tyres - 600
harnesses - 200+
cage - 400+
cav + rebuilt engine = 800
Corsa SRi 16v = 2000
Coilovers - 500

=5900+

then all the rest was fitting EVERYTHING, susp, brakes, cage, seats, engine
