Why not mod your Corsa? Is the engine standard? The Vectra will be bit of a boat, but they seem to be a good price

The corsa has been chipped and remapped, rev limit raised, induction kit etc.
Solid car, i just fancy a change tbh.
Got it up for sale, so will see what happens!

I would do but the insurance price jump is massive between the two.

So you've raised the rev limiter on a standard engine? Can't see the bottom end lasting long.

Personally i have only ever taken it to 7000rpm, and that was pointless so never did it again.
The seller did not know what exactly had been done to the car when i bought it, hard to say if it is the standard engine or not mate.
He didn't know much about it.

Fit a power box, and change the exhaust manifold, and it will be a different car bud.

This.....
Could get a decent Gsi for less than what that white 1 is up for.

Have made up my mind, the corsa is staying. Such a reliable car. Mods time!
