just pishing out loud....

How much do you think i could sell/split the corsa for?

Still have a hankering for a R32 GTR track car

Obv... this would be in a year or so.... once/if/when the corsa finnaly works for a while and i've had some use out of it.

Other poss's still on the cairds are engine into westie, and my spare c20xe into the corsa... or LET

I watched that knock hill vid the other day, and it just seemed so effortless.

I REALLY think you should just cut your losses and get rid of the corsa, you have had nout but bad luck....
Least if you go for something jap, maybe even an old 200sx or similar, it should in theory be more reliable???

Thing with that knockhill video is the skyline doesn't look that quick, if it wasn't for other cars on the track it looks fairly slow, as the skyline seems to be going round so effortless and stable.

However, seeing the cars it passes with ease and knowing what its like sitting in them with your engine buzzing in every gear, car feels unstable, lack of grip, understeering etc - it just shows how awesome the skyline is.

thats the only thing stopping me

Its going to be such a monumental waste of cash if i sell it for 4k

I'd rather just keep it, or re-use it as i dont really need the money just now.

Re-use option would only require a westie ... then i'd have the corsa still complete with my spare engine.

I thought the other day.... why the hell do i have a spare engine and i'mnot uusing it

Do you really need 'another' track prepped car though? Pug/wetie/corsa?

AK racing

Most the corsa money is in the engine/runnig gear/management isnt it so if you use the unused spare engine into the shell & get £3k selling how much of a westie would that get you??
