Just guaging interest at the minute, but if im offered what i want for it, i will sell.
The car is an M reg, Corsa GSI. The car itself has done 102000 miles. It has been owned by the same family since new until i bought it from them last February. It has been polished every week and the bodywork really is in good nick.
When i first got it it was completely standard, so i fitted KONI YELLOW shock absorbers and some 40mm Springs and a set of SPEEDLINE ALLESSIO 2'S.
The conversion was carried out by POWERCRAZY MOTORSPORT in Lincoln.
The engine is a 2.5 V6 (Redtop) lump from an automatic Cavalier V6. The owner of the cav was an enthusiast himself, and was quite destrought when i told him what i was going to do with his car (sorry).
Anyway, the engine has done around 90000 miles which is nothing on a v6 and the fact it was an automatic (so never been thrashed)
It has had an F16 SHORT RATIO gearbox fitted, aswel as V6 Discs, pads and calipers.
The gearbox has got a lightened flywheel aswel.
When the conversion was done, the engine had a new waterpump, cambelt kit, plugs oil filter and a new clutch.
Ill tell any interested buyers now that it is not for the faint hearted, Its a very quick car with no turbo lag (for obvious reasons).
You've got to remember the benefits of the v6 over a valver are that at the end of the day its a standard engine, so your not going to have all the niggly little problems that you get when you have a tuned up engine, and because of this, its not all that bad on petrol.
I will only sell to a good home because this car is my pride and joy. Im only thinking about selling because i lost my job this week snd could do with something cheaper to run.
Im looking for offers around £3250.
This probably sounds a lot but the car has cost me £5500 to build, and as i say i only want to sell if i can get enough to clear off some of my debt.
There are more pictures in my garage if you want to look.
