daz gt turbz Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 you cant get the N/AS past 100bhp can u tho without spending a fortune on them ?yea but the point of this car would be to drive around in it and earn ncb while you spend your cash on the gt not spend massive amounts on your run around car, i drive an r reg 1.7td astra during the week and most of the weekend. . . . and dont giv a rats arse!lol Quote
daz gt turbz Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 and if your worried about people trying to race you then buy a shity old car then they wont bother. Quote
Asad Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 think UKSC has given its opinion and a argued the point.......decision time? Quote

BigMan Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 random question but...arent corsa's high to insure due to the ammount of twats that have wrote the things off?the 1.2 corsa c aint too bad, done my lessons and passed my test in one but if i was you wouldnt speed much money on it. Quote
Steve GT Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 im sorry but all them pics you posted are just chavvy eurod corsas and to be honest whod want to be seen in one of them lolif you want a corsa just buy a corsa c and leave it standard. the fact you said the GT would be a project car why would you want to spend money on your "run around" when a run around is normally something you buy just to get you from a 2 b until your project is finished Quote
Bildo Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Just get a Corsa, leave it standard, don't spend a penny on it unless you have to, save the money and pour it into the Starlet for now.By the time you've bought a Corsa, spent a grand or two on mods and then had it for a year or so the mods you put on will be absolutely worthless. Oh, and not to mention you'll be left with a modded Corsa. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 who cares if u cant get an n/a past 100bhp!i thought the whole point was that u were looking for a cheap runner thats cheap to insure??am i missing something or does an n/a not pistol whip a corsa in those regards? sure a corsa might get more mpg as its more modern, but surely they arent as cheap to insure. u say people wont race a corsa as they'll know its slow, errrr, same goes for an n/a ep91 to be fair!tbh, n/a ep91 fits your requirements perfectly. its then just a question of taste.Phil.

Guest cheshireglanza Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 n/a starlets are nippy i have had 3 off them get on the net you can pick one up for £500 then get moding the gt ;) Quote
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I have a corsa as well as a run about ;) But they are still gay.And it's not cheap, quite thirsty as well. No idea of service costs though, although it's a vxr not a 1.2 lol Quote
LukeSR Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 People under-estimate my n/a.. Even bin asked if its turbo'ed :SGreat first car imo, everyone i know loves my car and always wanted shotgun as i only got 1 seat spare ;)Insurance is cheap, filling it up is cheap and so is servicing it ;)Wouldn't waste my money on a corsa, my mate brought one and it died within a week of him having it ;) Quote
Tyron Devine Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 Get an SR, you can't hate them, they look awesome!i cant get insured on a sr dude :/ Quote
Tyron Devine Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 they still want stupid money for a 1.3 N/A to insure like more than 3k which i dont have rember guys and girls i have only just passed my test i aint on the road in anything yet so insurance is a twat :/ Quote
james@cjperformance Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 have you even checked the insurance on a corsa, we had one before seeing the light and buying an ep, it was as much to insure the v as it was to insure the corsa Quote
Dan507 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 The money your using to buy a corsa can be used to insure the gt. Look harder there are people on the forum @ 18 years of age insuring a gt. FYI I've done a petrol ford cogar (spelling) before and gave a 59 plate civic type r a good run for it's money also. Quote
BigMan Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 does depend alot on your area how much the insurance would cost, plus also got running costs etc.Ive heard of a member on here paying £5000 to insure a glanza S which was so high because of his area Quote
