a98pmalcolm Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think the C20LET isn't as good as the Z20LET (but I mite be wrong) His is pretty quick and well tidy, VXR turbo, phase 3 remap etc etc. Most probly to chav for you liking but I think hes done a tidy job of it: http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/8459/jamiescoarsa.jpg http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/6475/jamiescoarsaengine.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Only just seen this thread. It'll be a cracking sleeper once you've finished with it mate. I'd love to be able to have a tinker with something like this but both my cars are costing an arm and a leg to run. I want rid of my Mini for something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 I put in a local garage i use last week for a new starter and asked the mechanic to give it a good going over, his words was "death trap" fuel lines resting on the exhaust manifold, brake lines rubbing against the wheels, steering rack shot to bits, various oil leaks among other things. Ive told him to do whatever is needed to get it mechanically sound, money pit springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin.starr Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ive got my MK3 Polo estate with 160BHP Its my every day car at the moment, I love taking the piss out of bigger cars that take pleasure in siting up my arse waiting for there moment to overtake, At that very point i pounce and screech away leavint them in my dust. I absolutly love it because it looks like a real heap of c**p from the outside but pulls like a train, even in fifth on the motorway it pulls like a dream to around 120 ish, but then i get scared and have to back off. Ill try and get some pics of mine up. Ive got a subframe to stiffen the chassis a bit which needs to go on. I cnow you may think the corsa is chavy, but trick it up so its back to standard and keep the smiles coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I put in a local garage i use last week for a new starter and asked the mechanic to give it a good going over, his words was "death trap" fuel lines resting on the exhaust manifold, brake lines rubbing against the wheels, steering rack shot to bits, various oil leaks among other things. Ive told him to do whatever is needed to get it mechanically sound, money pit springs to mind. £600 later and i have it back, it drives great now, im bored now though and cant be arsed to finish the bodywork, im going to put it on ebay in the next day or two and find something else to play with.
