Hi Guys, few of you may recognise this car as its fairly well known within the vauxhall scene.
Unfortunately its up for sale due to unforeseen circumstances.
I brought the car off a fellow Corsa sport member last year, and have spent a few quid on maintaining her, thought i would post up in here just to raise a bit more awareness as im needing a quick sale....

Brakes look a tad standard for a turbo
Would be such a laugh to drive as it defo still looks like a standard merit lol.
Dont know about the ride height....

yep brakes are one area that needs to be addressed, did plan on hi-spec conversion but money just ran out! As for the ride height and look, its a sleeper thats exactly what myelf, and the previous owner were going for

Are those pics of before all this engine work was done?
as surely it would
a) need bigger breaks
b) have the intercooler atleast slightly visible
c) surely exhaust would of had to be modified and not a standard looking though although i imagine it would be possible to get one looking standard.
just looks very very standard to have that sort of engine in it

ye i saw the car advertised on here last year which is when i originally contacted the previous owner, and i ended up buying a couple of months later.... the pictures are from said advert which is why you recognise them.
I have to go offline for a while now, i'll try and get on again later
Thanks
Steve
