Ok ive seen a car that me and Kirsty both fancy so regretably the corsa has to go.

Its a 98 on an "S" plate in Arden Blue.
Has tax till end of October and MOT till April 09
The car itself started out as a 1.4 sport but has now been converted to a C20XE.
From factory it has E/W,E/M and central locking.Its also a non sunroof shell.

Mods.....
C20XE late spec dis-pack motor from a 1993 Cavalier SRI 16v
Ashley 4 branch manifold(oversized)which is mated up to a Powerflow 2.25" stainless centre section with de-cat and 1 middle silencer which joins to a Magnex 3.5" tip backbox.
Airbox and SFI box modified to fit the corsa engine bay.
Cam and timing belt covers painted in Focus ST orange(proper job with the flip through it).The cam cover has also had the breather mod done to it as the Redtop engine is prone to oil surge when taking right hand corners fast,so no worries on that front
F20 gearbox.
Custom shafts and mounts and also custom fitted powersteering.
Suspensions mods include,Koni dampening adjustable front shocks(which do work)with 60mm springs front and rear.
Turbo calipers with Fiat Coupe 4 stud 288mm discs.Pads and discs were brand new and are only a few months old.
Compomotive Mo wheels in white with 195 45 15 Yoko A539 tyres which are all legal.Wheels are ET45 and 7j.Locking wheel nuts fitted and also black plastic wheel bolt covers
Depo smoked headlights.
Fitted rear mudflaps.

Theyrs probably more ive missed and if i can think of anything else i will update it.

Now like every car theres some not so good bits.
The bonnet has a cpl of rust patches and the drivers door had a bubble of paint about the size of a 50p which has fallen off.If the asking price is met i will get these bits sorted with a new Arden blue bonnet and door from the scrappies.
Like every 2nd corsa,the boot has a tiny bit rust around the wiper arm but its hardly noticeable really.Also like every 10 yr old car it has a cpl of car park dings but theyr nothing major either,just being honest.

Car is mechanically sound.Runs a tiny bit lumpy on cold start up but goes away once up to temp or after 5mins of driving.Never looked into it as its never been a problem.Timing belt was also replaced a couple of months ago by my mate who done the conversion so no worries theyr.Pulls strong and hard in every gear all the way to the redline just like an XE should.Dosnt get thrashed but has been opened up on the open road.It isnt a smokey joe either.

I will also throw in an early flat flywheel and all the parts to fit it including the clutch,cover and brand new flywheel bolts.This mod alone will massively improve acceleration and throttle responce as theyr is about a 3kg difference between the flat and pot type flywheel that is fitted to the car just now.I also have a cpl of spare headlights and a badgeless grille that i will include in the sale.

The car is very reliable and has never let me down,starts 1st time everytime.Its nicely modified and to me its a bit of a sleeper.Come have a look u wont be dissapointed and dont let the bad bits put u off,every car has them.

Im asking £1800 with the door and bonnet replaced or £1700 as it sits right now.It has cost me much more to build it but thats just how it goes.

Pics to follow but for a general idea of how it sits,have a look in the projects for a thread by me.

Piccys....
