bucketep91 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 i should have mentioned how i found this lol, the car belonged to a mate of mine, his mate did all the work to it and there are reciepts, he ran it into the ground and had to replace shit loads then there was a wiring problem (which the current owner has sorted) my mate was also running a 225 megane and the corsa was just for a laugh then it came to mot time and he didnt have the money for everything to be done and it sat about for a while, got clamped then he sold it.i was speaking to him today and he took me up to see the guys new evo and i spotted the valver up the drive, asked if it was forsale and he said yes!

Bildo Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 For £200 I've seen worse, I'd much rather put that engine into a standard corsa and suprise people that way. I think the car looks sodding awful and I wouldn't be seen dead in it personally.I hope you're intending to declare the engine swap, and don't take your kid out in it, it looks and sounds like a deathtrap.

rorenapier Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Im presuming it was dynoed at AVA?Would take there numbers with a pinch of salt.They come standard with 150 bhp at the crank, so a set of cams, chip and the usual wont gain anywhere near 50 horse.But for £200 of the queens finest, why not, the redtop motor is a braw torquey thing.
