yeh i sold my 75bhp corsa 1,2 for a 1.8 150 bhp (estimate) rocket
It wont have 150bhp with those mods.
Personnally, selling a newer car, with less mileage, for an old car, with high mileage, seems a little silly to me,but then, your cash, so up to you.
For that money, i'd rather have a mint ERST.
It'd easily have 150bhp!! My mate has one and he has got less mods and has been dyno'd at 150bhp!
