because everyone expects evo's to be fast but very few people will expect a corsa to be fast

element of suprise I guess. I personally would rather have an evo than a 4wd turbo corsa tbh.

Thing is Ste, the same could be said for your car. Why put a 2.0 XE in a corsa? Just buy a calibra/Cavalier for £800 odd.
Not as severe as a 4wd turbo corsa but same sort of thing.

i still dont see the point of doing a 4x4 conversion on a corsa...
all the custom part's needed, it's just not worth it

Maybe he just wants to be different and has the money to back it up?
How much has chumbly warners car build cost? Looks nice but I bet it cost him a pretty penny to build.
