General information -

Selling my Corsa as I'm wanting to buy something else that's up for sale the noo!
The few pics that I do have are in my garage and actually make the car look cleaner than it is as it doesn't show the random scrapes it has. I'll also replace two arches that decided to go walkaboots.

It's a 1.4 Sport shell that has done about 127ish thousand miles (ish being because I've still not sorted the speedo out after the XE was fitted and it's sitting on 122,000 just now!)

I'll need to find the MOT certificate to find out how much it has left but to be brutally honest it's not much, couple of months at the most. Tax is until the end of next month.

The engine was fitted using conversionmounts.co.uk mounts and new cv joints were fitted whilst putting it in too. It is an early dizzycap model that I was told to be on 110,000 when fitted so it'll be on about 115,000 now. Before it was put in it had a new timing belt, waterpump and head gasket fitted along with a new dizzy cap, rotar arm, leads and plugs along with a service. As you can see it's on some random TSW alloys but it has four decent tyres with good tread and is lowered 40mm. I'm unsure of the make as it was lowered by the previous owner.

The engine itself has a slight issue with idling, being that it's pretty lumpy and my garage believes that it's an air leak somewhere that I'll try to have sorted before it goes. It's also currently on a 1.4 exhaust with a fucked cat But I've bought a cat back exhaust system off of a lad on here that I'll try to get fitted before it goes, and it not, it'll go with the car with a wee bit off the price. It feels like there is a slight hesitation sometimes through the revs but I've been told that'll be due to the exhaust, but after 4000 it does go well! It was RR'd recently, although it barely idled then (and had a new AFM afterwards which helped the idle a LOT) it made 143bhp and 143lb/ft which isn't bad considering the exhaust bore and cat!

This is more of an essay than a for sale thread so I think I'll stop it there and if you have any questions just ask

Asking price as stated at the top is £800 If it makes this, I'll throw in a set of smoked MHW's as well.

I've loved driving this thing. It's been a daily driver for the last 6 months since Mac1976 fitted the engine and has barely put a foot wrong. It pulls well in every gear but also returns good MPG when taking it easy. I would break it myself as I know it would make back the asking price but I don't have the time or knowledge to do so

Edit: Shit, forgot it's currently using an F16 and had a new clutch fitted when it was all going together!
