I have a mint x14xe sport, done a few things too it and happy with the looks...just have one problem its slow

and after just coming back from the ring...i feel i need power in my life!

heres the corsa as it stands...maybe abit lower now its settled on the bilstein kit...

Got someone lined up to buy it for £2100 so wudnt have lost much from it at all

This is the possible next purchases...

Whoever has offered £2100, snap their hand off.

And get the clio 172 if you can afford it.

If not... gti, or maybe a redtop corsa?

i could retop this...as its a good start but never gonna be good for track days...does handle very well on b10 kit though

im thinking 172 keep standard and forgot a 2nd holiday this year...or gti...with a few mods

its just...the corsa looks so pretty when polished up

I agree, £2100 is a bargain, on your part.

Looks good though - and more power? Try having a 12v

they are shit engine IMO!...all the lads at work went and brought them...12v's are falling apart lol...could be down to lack of serviced and red lining on there part as ive not seen em drive them

but yeh i paid £1450 for it and must have spent about £1000 on it with things here and there...so not loosing out too much...pics dont do it justice...ive waxed/polished it up more and more and took the sport badges of so looks nice now, ITS GOTTA GO! lol...if only i cued justify 2 cars

Ah, if its 53 plate its deffo a 182 then

On a serious note... 106's are nice cars, but it you'll end up wanting something quicker again.

And no, somebody crashed into and wrote the redtop off : lol

Mines fine too, only done 50k miles but still.
Nothing wrong with them, as long as they are looked after.

its all about the french cars for the speed unless conversions on the list...well for cheap fast ens...172's are abit pricy compaired to the pugs...corsa LET wud be my favourite option but its soo much hassle for my day to day drive. was thinking of going down the 106 route and prep it for track use...but try leave its comfort for daily driving should be fairly cheap to get it up to a nice 150bhp plus...need to test drive both options really...clios feel very "pod like" in driving position...cant explain that one more lol
