Again up for discussion.

Is your ideal type of car
all show, no go
true show car
[Pic wont work sorry!]

or is it a car that
moves like poo off a shovel
2.5 V6 baby

Well i\'d like to say a street sleeper but at 19yr old its a bit hard to afford to do it and insure it so until my no claims build up for a C20Let conversion

I\'m sayins Show and No go

why bother spending thousands on fibreglass kit & painting, etc... just to have it ripped off or recked when you have silly power too...

sleeper all the way

plus least then your not worried as much for recking your high-cost bodywork mods!

id say for the time being show nd no go.
but one day it will be time for a 2ltr turbo for some serious torque

All show no go for when you 1st start driving as some ppl dont have the insurance money to pay and when you do have the no claims n the money then defently a street sleeper for sure!

Sleeper all the way, you can make a slow car fun to drive easy enough, and plonking 17\"+alloys isn\'t the way to do it. A fast car isn\'t necessarily more fun that a fast slow car.

2L turbo isn\'t really a fast car, a decent 1.6 16V will rip it a new ass hoel on track.

I certainly agree with that. My regional co-ordinator for the pvg has a highly tuned 1.6 16v on throttle boddies pushing well over 200bhp and is as fast as f**k because he hasnt got the weight of the 2 litre. he done a lap of the nurburgring at the weekend in 9 mins and 4 secs.

forgot to say what i thought...

defintitly a street sleeper. I think its funny when u can pretty much do anyting on the roads in a standard corsa! so any1 that gives it to ya at a set of traffic lights who looks like a cock, looks even more of a cock in your rear view mirror

yeah i must admit was cool when i had my engine done, and the bodywork was standard (even left the SRI badge on) nothing more satisfying than blocking a beemer from undertaking... wankers of the road! or just having it away from them
