how much more expensive do you reckon a 1.6 engine conversion would be for insurance than just buying a 1.6 sport or sumit?
want to change engine seeing as ive got tints/alloys and all that (plus i bum my car too much)
ooo - and really along with springs and gearbox - would i need to change my fuel tank?

You will never see money back for modifications, if it was done for profit, everyone would do it, its a hobby/interest.

if you do modifications that cant be taken off then its worse though as when you come to sell the car and buy another corsa you cant just transfer it over. or can you? i have tints and dont want to sell it because i'll have to get tints again
