vectra or corsa sri?

Post by Russpower »

Hey
At the moment, I have a v6 vectra sri is good condition but im after something abit more down to earth, and sporty There is a corsa near me with looks nice, its an 8v sri 1.4. I need some advice weather to part with my vectra for a corsa. Sounds like a silly question...... but the corsa sits on 17" alloys, lowered 40mm, K n N cold air induction kit, remus exhaust system and it looks really nice Also cheaper to run and performance is quite good so ive heard. I would tune it to a resonable extent depending if its worth it or not. Id appreciate quite a few opinions of what I should do.
Thanks People

well depends what miles are on the corsa, as sounding like it is it might have been ragged to death and have 100,000 miles on which isnt really much cop, but the 8v engines can take ALOT of punishment from your right foot, but i would recommend the 1.4 16v thats a small engine also, but you can tune it really well with four branch, and power intake box, and stainless centre and back box, plus you could then go out and get it chipped and tuned which would combine all of those together and should produce a nice bhp number to, and it has loads of torque, (as i have one) but iv not owned a 1.4 8v so i cant really compare. but if you can stick a photo up and we'l tell you if its scene, or not worth getting :lol:

exactly what pricer says, if its got 17s on it and lowered arches could of been rolled or whatever, youd be better of goign on ebay or something or forums and look at them and view a couple see if you actually like them and if you really want one tbh, but if you do get one, get a standard one because most likley the modded ones would of been ragged about by a boy racer
