im not missing the point at all mate just dont see the point in doing what you want to do, if you want a turbo then why not just turbo the corsa? there are plenty of cars that are comfy with cruse controll, aircon and everything you want for a lot less than 5k, and if your only planning on keeping for less than a year why bother modding it.

now, i have a very good point for that.

first, the corsa does have aircon/cruise control

and i WAS going to turbo it, now that would put me in the having two projects, as thats not a five minute job - like im talking about on the astra, mods im talking of will take what 3hours to do everything, and thats it done.

a turbo conversion would of cost me, say £1500, now thats £1500 i wouldnt of seen back, as it doesnt increase the value of the car. same with modding anything

and its a corsa, when you say to someone what car do you drive, and you say corsa....

its a step up in the market and will cost me roughly £1000, to go from a corsa c sri 1.8 to an astra gsi

The astra is faster off the mark, faster top end, handles better in standard form. All this with still being super comfy and having a new car feel to it.

Even though the corsa isn't as fast or as nice to drive when I do go out in it I always have more of a smile on my face. This makes me not want to spend money on the astra performance wise as it would only end up in neglect to the corsa.

I know if I was to sell my corsa and throw the money at the astra then it would be a propper beast. and be 10x better than the corsa.

That said though, feeling the turbo power just makes me want to c20let my corsa which is my main reason for keeping the astra standard, its my run around.
