yeah, dont be fooled by these ones with red paint on, theyre not actually redtop's. theyre the more inferior grey tops with 120bhp

just check the normal stuff, dont be concerned about it being a redtop corsa, treat it like every other car you'd go to look at

i had mine on the road for 18 months. never once did it have a problem or not start. never ever broke down. i did 39 runs one day on the 1/4 mile, took it up the strip on 7 occasions. the engine had 127k on it when i put it in. it ran perfect

good engine, kicked its ass like your supposed to, had no problems at all.
