i have genuanly thought about this, was talking to OJC about it on saturday


150bhp has been had from the 1.6 8v... before gas, and generally they're indestructable

depends want you want from it.

could spend alot making a really awesome LET corsa, very quick etc use it at tracks/shows alot, quite an enthusiast thing to do.

but for how long will it be still be cool and what you want? end of the day its a corsa. just depends at what point you think about what other cars you might wanna own etc

i'd keep the 1.6 + TBS, make it a track weapon, fun to drive, not too lethal
