It had a LET in it and it was for sale for like 7k. Everyone started crying and saying it was overpriced, even though the spec was massive. It didnt sell so was stripped, im sure bigron has the engine block and head now in his corsa B.

Yes, one of the fastest Corsas in the UK when it had the Turbo engine in it, big ron bought the engine as said and it's now in this car http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=574714

It may have seem overpriced to you, or someone who didn't want a 550bhp Corsa but realisticly it was a fucking bargain in terms of what it was built for. Not everyone is going to want to go out an buy a 10 second Vauxhall, only a small amount will. The engine sold as someone wanted it, probably paid about 5k for it I would imagine. The Corsa that is left with the XE is worth 2k all day long...to someone who's looking for a quick Corsa.

Everyone wants everything for nothing these days. If it wasnt a corsa and was a civic or golf then everyone would say its worth £££££'s.

engine wasnt that much or a bargain...it had a couple of bits in it, some bits werent in it that was supposidly ment to have, and also cople of dodgy bits done to it too.
the engine now had everything changed except the oil pump, rods and the arps.

Exactly, doesn't mean it was overpriced though does it. So how was it overpriced john, explain to me how that car was far too much money. What wasn't worth the money?
