Engine Change??

Post by Robbo173 »

I want more from my corsa but i dont know if its worth buying a bigger car? or should i change the engine in my current car i have the ability to do an engine swap but how much will it alter the insurance.

well first, how old are you, because stick it out until your say 21 or 22 then drop a redtop in it, because you'l only get bored of the 1.6 after about a year. unless you put it in a hedge first...
