Do a sear....on no wait...you can't...


Well, you will need an engine. Anything between £150 and £300.

Conversion kit, not sure how much that is these days...maybe £250-£300

You'll need to modify your manifold....

Upgrade your brakes.
Upgrade your suspension.

Best part of a G for the basics really. And thats doing it yourself.

Can buy a full car with an XE for sub £1k now. Just buy one of them and use as a donor if you're hellbent on keeping your current corsa.

Don't pay £400 for an engine. The chip will be a 20p resistor lol.

I bought my Engine for £150 notes and it had about 70-80k on the clock. Included the gearbox.
