Just picked up my 2.0 turbo corsa ex fast car featured April 2003,did anybody off here previous own it?
Reg number R123EDM,i'd just like to ask a few questions about the engine that all as the previous owner was unsure how many miles its done in the car and before it was fitted,
Its running at about 220bhp but was undriveable in the wet yesterday couldn't even get the power down in fourth at 70mph ,much better today in the dry! The guy i bought it off yesterday got the car from a lad in Manchester,
Robbie.

Are the tyres bald/was the car on the floor?

My mate has a calibra turbo engine,6 speed box,loom and ecu and can fit if you are interested he asked me the other day was going to fit it into my Astra van but i've just sold it on ebay to fund a new project..
