if you want a learning process convert the car yourself. then later on sell it for a turbo if you so wish, or remove the xe and fit a turbo

if you like your car the way it is but want it faster, then have a go. there are loads of people on here that when not being stupid and silly (pointing at myself mostly) can offer any amount of advice to help you out

i think its already finished, one of the most perfect corsas ever that one.
in my opinion, id have a go at building one. its good fun kinda and when its done, you can step back and say i built that.
