ali_legend Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 N/a would piss on a corsa. Lol get a civic 1.4 or vti if u can afford insurance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cazzac2222 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Dude if your thinking or gettin a corsa, get the 1.2 SXI+, youll have the half leather and Aircon and + if your thinking about putting ZLET in the 1.2 ECU is alot easy to map and plug then the other 1.0,1.4 and 1.8 corsas, heres a few pics of my old corsa, i wanted to ZLET that but it had been in a bump on the front end, it wasnt a write off but i could just tell Shame really:^^ Yep full leathers and heated front seats hahahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 meh you probably already know but you wont save anything having a corsa endless ammount of problems they have from gear linkages to heads all dependant on how they`ve been looked after........the N/A is old school engineering start on the button and will cost you peanuts to run perfect if you`ve got a project on the side Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LeeG Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 or a pug 306 td group 5 insurance cheap to run especially on "cherry" or veggy oil, fairly nippy and if u want to make it quicker turn up fuel pump and shortin actuator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 i was on par with a corsa if not slightly ahead when giving it some but im not sure which it was the driver claimed it was a 1.2 iirc...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 imo n/a would take most 1.2 corsas and id say 9/10 corsas havent touched the engine bar an induction kit were as the rolla manis and such are pretty easy to get for an n/a but id still look at a 4 paw lol i want 1 just cant realy justify it atm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wssoR Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Your talking as though n/a's are crummy little shits boxes with a hamster to power them, yeah they're not fast cars but there faster than all the european shit that is also of a similar spec, there isn't a better first car in my opinion, would be a great run around.
