Not yet as I asked them to fully test it.

IE braking, heating up and cooling fan wise and few more bits.

And damage wise, well when the engine departed itself, the conrod kinda went through the front bumper leaving abit of a hole
I kinda forgot about it as I was more concerned about what to do like.

Pics soon.

ive spent 5k on my corsa now, and it was deffinatley going to touch 6k+ when i'd finished with it, and for that money you can get alot of cars, newer faster and nicer. dont get me wrong i love the car, its just that sort of money was beyond now. thats the reason im breaking it, i would hate to see the car in total vauxhall or something or on this forum, i'd be gutted seeing someone else enjoying my pride and joy. all the hours and sweat, blood and money that have gone into it, and i'd probably get 2-2.5k back for it, so im breaking it to get as much money back, and for no one else to enjoy it

how much of the 5k will you get back though? I see what you mean, Including buying my car and the few mods and repairs mine has set me back getting on for 4k and I will be lucky to get 2k back, but it's what the hobby is about at the end of the day!

the suspension works brilliant, its just where you adjust the stiffness and softness screw, one of the tops has snapped off the front, the other one is fine, and the back are in mint condition and adjust fine.
yeah its a hobby, but its a hobby you need sence in.
driving a volvo s40 around for now, until i decide what car i want.

zs handles well out of the box in my opinion, but I've never driven a corsa sport so have can't voice and opinion there.
Tbh I don't think the puma is the best car you could have for your money but its your choice!
