i went through a lot of hassle, and money doing the xe, all my own fault like, but after the 22-23weeks and i got it back. i had a smile right across my face, allthe way home (240miles)  got used to it and took the power for granted  then now i got 1.2 "power" and i miss the xe soooo much.
why dont you sell the car u got now, then get another corsa, and xe that, and keep it standard, sleeper style

They get a bad rep, but most people who make the comments have owned neither!
If u mis-treat dont maintain your car properly then yes it wont be reliable its an old engine, they wont last forever!

Lee, the problems ive had are:
Turbo's oil seals went, car ran fine boosted fine, drank oil like a basterd
Then every other problem ive had has been minor (boost pipes perishing due to age) had a small oil leak that was a pipe that had worked its way loose, car runs fine now i have a new turbo and i also have had some of the loom re-wired with nice new plugs

sell it mate, step up the ladder. Get a more respectable car.
not saying yours isn't, but i advise move out of the corsa, saxo, clio range and move up to the golf, audi, astra range you know?

Exactly what I was gonna say.
Fto are more like Shito ... over weight, underpowered, FWD They look a lot quicker than they are.
Get something newer / quicker ...
As someone said, split the corsa... Not seen a pic of it, but I'm guessing alloys etc - sell them seperate and put standard wheels back on and sell the car standard!
Then buy something cool, slightly modern (1999/2000+) and a bit quicker!

if i buy a new car and its not a corsa can i still come on here. i would be ery bored if i cant. i might buy a sensible car and then sort myself out a nova and make that a stripped out xe for a bit of fun.
