    59 Plate Corsa SXI Tuning/Mods Ideas

    Of course there is a point of tuning a small engined car, and thats not just becuase i own a 1.2 and am busy modding it. small engined cars are of course lighter than a bigger engine or a bigger car, i can see the logic in going for the 1.6 corsa however becuase the power is plentyfull for a...

    corsa vxr enginr into a corsa sxi

    I know even I was suprised it was so much, considering I listed the upgrades I would be doing to the 1.2 engine to the same insurance compnay and the quote was around 2000 per year, by my estimates with the upgrades such as CAMS, headers (flowed, ported, polished, 3 angle valve job), coilovers...

    corsa vxr enginr into a corsa sxi

    Depends how old you are mate im 17 and am deciding whether to boost my 1.2L corsa D up to around 160-170bhp or go for the VXR. VXR is cheaper for me to buy around £7500 for a 2008/9 reg, but insurance is over £8000! If i stick with the 1.2L itl cost about 6-7000 to achieve that power and...

    Maxxing my Corsa D

    Im actually quite suprised after listing some of the modifications i'll be doing to the 1.2 engine mate I am getting reasonable quotes from Aviva, only slightly over 1k a year with plenty of upgrades at 17 is pretty damn good in my opinion, however I tryed to get a quote on a VXR through the...

    i'll see simply becuase even if i got the 1.7 id still be modding it when i cud just buy the VXR nd keep it standard it will have more power than an upgraded 1.7 anyways all depends on the insurance probably end up stickin with the 1.2 if the insurance is too much nd get new CAMS nd headers port...

    Maxxing my Corsa D

    Thanks thats sound advice, and since id be upgrades brakes, suspension, wheels & tryes i could just add in the flywheel and clutch and then do the transplant afterwards, that way the car would be prepared. Saying that it may be cheaper to buy a 2nd hand VXR like you mentioned but the insurnace...
