meh,
that is all i can say.
And fully comp fully legit policy yes. What do you take em for??? some joyriding chav who is gunna get a 2lt trubo car as soon as i can???
If i was i would have put a Z20LET lump in my corsa and had 200bhp then. Would be quicker than a SX then.

no it wouldnt

I am trying to give a bit of advise, go on and buy it then its your money. However there is probably a better use for your 4 or 5 grand insurance costs over the next 3 years

As for stupid rusty car, you seen underneith an s14 ???? lol. Its a 3-4 thousand pound circa 12-15yr old car. Its not worth a mint dude, we like them (i like them) because they appeal to us drivers, but make no mistake they aint some epic fairytale car..

I have indeed seen the underside. and.......
I know its not worht a kint but i like the cars themselves.
Never thought ther wer some 'fairytale car'
Thanks for the headsup tho.

[jackm]

Fair do's.

[ToddS14A]

i assure you it wouldnt, how much does your corsa weigh?

[jackm]

A corsa with a Z20LET in it will weigh roughly 1200kg

[ToddS14A]

so thats more than a standard 14a then, plus rwd will pull harder than fwd

another meh moment i think.
I have been educated.
I dont know how it can weigh more than a coupe tho. Rust???

[ToddS14A]

why do you think all the bigger powered cars, ie most of super cars are rwd?

[sideways14a]

An s14 weighs roughly 1260-1280 kilos...

[ToddS14A]

so it does i stand corrected, for some reason i had 1167 in my head and i know thats wrong lol

i appolagise lol such a bellend

[jackm]

Obviously for better handling.
I know what you mean but it would surely be about traction as above post says it weighs more than 1200kg. A LET would actually weigh less overall.

Im probally gunna get raped on here as im a corsa lad but hey.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Dear god give the guy a break. He wants an sx. He says he can afford it who are we to say any different.

I wouldn't pay 2k+ a year on insurance for one of these (well not standard anyway) but a young lad at work is paying 2k a year on a 1.2 52plate clio It takes all sorts

Thanks mate. Somebody is actually human on this site.

[ToddS14A]

[jackm]

I know haha.

Good plan. When I was 19 I had a t plate vectra sri 140. Was a good car for a while, I drove it hard for about 40k before it was all but useless. It did break down a lot tho

I will say it's very tempting to mod these cars and not tell your insurance company, I would never do this as the car by design is very easy to get in to trouble with and the last thing you want is to loose all your money.

I will mod it but not til insurance drops. get pulled enough as it is so i dont do anything dodgy insurance wise.

Let the man spend his money on insurance if he wants. I paid almost 3200 on my S13 @ 18

I dont regret it, would only have wasted the money anyway!

And welcome btw
