its a corsa at the end of the day, even some people may find paying 3k for one to be a waste of time, let alone what mods it has. looks nice though!

Yeah fair price. Corsa's highly modified willl never sell to thier true value. Very rare someone will pay 4k+ for a corsa B. plus bad time to sell a car.
Seems sound, deffo worth a look ild say!

I like that, makes me want another Corsa... what are highly modified corsas like no reliability? Any worse than a 106 GTI?

Even at peak 196bhp, how does it eat scoobys and evos  I know weight might be an issue but surely so is torque....

Surely 196bhp is optomistic without throttle bodies/carbs?

saying that i guess you can get 88mil pistons which take it to 2090cc or just over, but between the bores will be so thin. most people class even half a mil bore out as 100cc which it isnt on a engine with 86 mil stroke and bore.

Got rid and ended up buying a french car with more problems 
Shouldnt have reallly and regret it in a way but i cba with all the stress etc that the problems bring I mean I spent the best part of 5k on it and it wasnt working I wasnt willing to throw more money at it for the risk of it blowing up the week after.

That's a nice sounding motor that, perhaps an XE will be more luck for you rather than the LET...
