shockingly if i was in the market for a non turbo'd conversion it would be wrong not to consider it.
so yeah thats me actually saying i think its a decent motor for 2k. not taking the piss for once. i must be sick.

I normally shoot down Corsa's that go for £2k when it's not something high high powered But that IS worth £2,000. As said, it looks factory fitted, it'll be 1,000x more reliable than an XE and it's clean as hell. One thing that may put off potential buyers is the lack of details on the Tax, Test and Mileage!

I would pay at least 2k for that, it's well worth it mate.
Bring it to the RR day and get a nice new graph for the new owner tbh

Not sure mate had it R/R'ed without the Variable inlet not working (so it was only optimised for torque) and it run 115bhp and 135lb/ft.. So I would imagine over 130bhp.. Its all pub talk anyway as in the real world its quicker to 60 than a standard XE'd Corsa and old Teggy TypeR

And those are not just unsubstantiated claims, been proven on several occasions Its also Side by side with my mates stripped out SRi130 engined Nova GTE and a Cituning VTR turbo conversion. Throw on a set of throttle boddies and it will be a monster
