The GSi started off with the quick non ecotec C16SE engine which was updated in 1994 with the ecotec C16XE engine.

I wouldn't really care tbh, as I would have it for going to college and work, and turn my 1.2 into a quick XE'd one for the race track, or if I want a long but fast Sunday drive.

Yeah you're right, i'm getting confused, i've had a cold and not thinking straight.  Still would prefer a standard GSi imo.

I can't believe how old i'm sounding saying keep one as standard, but after being told by my uncle I was told that no wonder my old car blew up by the way you drive, i've been thinking that I should calm down and that I should go for a car as a runabout and to drive fast make one for a race track.

What's your problem? Is it all down to the muppetsport deal?
why would it be jake?
i just think most of your comments make you out to be a tool, maybe your not, but overall thats my view because of your comments

Everyone say that they're not rare and apart from PVS I haven't seen hardly any on the road, 1 or 2 but that's it.

I agree with you there Steve, I have seen so many being split, and everyone says it's just a Corsa, back when they were new they were fighting for supremises against the 205 GTi, and Golf GTi for best hot hatch.

Don't see whats so special? The engine, kit and wheels makes it what it is, not that particular chassis. I'd be splitting it too. Actually get the parts on a half decent car.......

Each to your own opinion but i'm being serious, because everyone say the 205 was the greastest hot hatch of the 90's but I think I would go for the German/ British cars as they are more reliable than French crap.

205 easily was the best hot hatch of the 90's. i was driving in the 90's i remember all the shit that they claimed was a hot hatch back then.
