Was thinking about this today one of many daily car thoughts..
Corsa b c20let track car
Pros - quick, lighter than the c, loads of parts, panels etc cheap.
cons - old engines, tappety, oil leak galore, rust becoming an issue on the shells,
Corsa c z20leh,
Pros- newer, less about, nicer to drive? Debatable...
Quieter engine, good tuning market,
Cons - a bit more money to get it all together. From what I've gathered!
Z20leh engines seem to hold their money!
Is there much diff between z20let and leh?
What would you have and why? Based on it being a track car road legal or not?

Id have the C  . Mainly because thats what im heading towards myself ! Check cars for sale in the classifieds , my freinds z20let corsa C is for sale  .
As for differences the leh has under piston oil squirters i think (would be best to ask warrenG) .

Corsa C - Everyday getting to and from work everyday and still fast.

exactly what beardy said tbh, I use mine every day for work and think thats why I'm not fully in love like I first was.
Plus all my business customers see me in a chavvy loud corsa which doesnt set a great image

If thats the case and your keeping the megane as your everyday then Corsa B or even Nova
Its there for one job and thats to have its head kicked in all the time and to put a smile on your face.
If you get a Corsa C you will be comparing it to the megane all the time.....

Most of the people that suggest a C haven't driven one or owned a z20let powered car.
Everyone seems to think its newer = must be better

Think your stupid going from a pretty good spec'd track car already to something older and have to modify a fair bit to get it to be good.

OP wants to go on track not drag racing.
B isn't best handling car in the world but better than a C imo.
