After all the effort you've put into yours you'd be daft to sell up. Stick a Valver in there and finish it off

Go for the valver, definately mate! Make sure you get all the servicing done while its out of the car, get a proper exhast fitted as soon as possible and you shouldnt have too many problems. Get some silicon hoses too if you can afford it

stick an XE in it, 2litre vauxhall engines are only same reliability as any other engine, it may break, it may not.
just because the litreage consumption of air rises doesn't mean the engines are poorly built does it?

2litre all the way, the way i look at it, if i bought a fats car - astra gsi turbo id then want coilovers rims etc and it all sorts again!
The only car i wouldnt touch is an evo!
So with your corsa, u got an exterior you love, leather you love, and the power there for when you need it.
All round a faster car that will surprise people and be fun to drive!
Your choice but look on mig for people selling fast 20xe's that have been rebuilt
speak to lee about the brakes and fitting prices!
£1600 all up thats drive in with 1.4 drive out with 2.0!!
