JR  I'm good mate, youve not seen me for a while, I've not been out to play much lately due to getting a bird! But I'm going to try and come to PVS and Leanne's probably gonna be in attendance too! The engine is down to bare block and head at the moment and I'm doind most of it myself so unsure if the Corsa's gonna make the show! You alright?
Not in repairs alone, I mean, the engine, fitting kit, uprated bits, replacement bits, gearbox fittings! clutches, etc. Then there's the miscillaneous bits like wheels, brakes, suspension, tyres, window tints etc.! I think it owes me about 12k, plus this rebuild. But I have had it 7years so not bad really....

A std healthy motor and healthy turbo, ARP rod bolts, decent intercooler, Phase 2, XE inlet cam & vernier will see about 280bhp without to many probs, std Vaux clutch, billet flywheel, equal length shafts ... can get that lot together without spending mega £££, thats pretty much what i've ran for the last 14 month.

Has anyone looked at the green corsa LET for sale just now? Is up for about 3 grand i think, was also featured in TV last Sept. I think this looks a good buy, compared to the prices of some other LETs, but then again I don't know loads about them

Noooooo....
WE got dicked on, and I was on the SV was good fun trying though Was funny just having my ass handed well and truley on a plastic plate (Tommy Kiaria one wasn't it? Silver)
Pocket rockets, great in a straight line, but if your looking for a cornering car, the LET is not the option to go for.

Local lad had a let in his corsa. Couldnt get grip for shit in anything but bone dry weather. Tensioner broke into bits. Bent all 16Valves. Rebuilt it (mechanic) and 2 days later same happend again!
Then he replaced is with a ragtop xe and he much preferd it. Said alot easier to run, maintain, get the power down etc. More of a all round usable car!
But saying that i would love LET power. I use to see myles car alot and new it packed a punch but never saw him give it any in a car park because he isnt a chav and drvies sensible from what i have seen! But when i saw the vid of him accelerating. It was awesome!

I'd love a LET for the power and noise they make 
Quite happy with XE power though, struggled to put the power down earlier, but it was very wet
