My 1.28v has cracked bpillars....


Never seen a late spec one with cracked pillars


Newer shell will mot likely be in better condition due to the lack of time its spent outside in comparason

Why would the TB noise wear thin? It's only loud if you mash the pedal into the floor everywhere.

im not commenting on what conversion is better its still the handling that gets me about ppl on this forum, i own a 2.0 16v corsa, and my mrs owned a 1.6 16v sport for 2 years and i had small block xe engines for 4 years so i have 7 years of driving 1.4 16v sport, 1.6 16v sport 2.0 16v and 1.2 8v corsa and im sorry i still do not believe the corsa with small block engine handles that much better that it would leave a xe corsa on a b-road each sharing same suspension setup. lets face it anyway corsa is a shit handling car anyways was never made to be a sports car or pose a sports chassis.

i just think you can make a corsa handle ok but it will never be amazing no matter what shocks you fit, its the whole geometry of the car and the way it was designed that will determine how good it will be and corsa is a TOWN car at the end of the day.
