yeah unless you've done alot to the car already i'd sell it and buy somethign more powerfull. otherwise your just creating work and problems for yourself
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

the 1.4 16v has 30bhp more than the 1.2 16v...and there alot quicker belive me,and can easily be made as quick as the 1.6 without the stupid insurance premiums lol.

if yer upgrading the engine just sell your current and buy a new 1 with the engine already there as standard, unless you arnt putting it on your insurance, they will class it as an engine mod and your insurance will sky rocket to the price of a porsche lol
