Shane Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I just bought a 300 bhp Corsa Don't ask me why, I could not help myself, I took it up the road and it went like a rocket. I dropped it at my mechanics for a few jobs, needs de chaving, it's got a No1 boy racer style external intercooler that he is putting back behind the bumper, I want to get some steel wheels for it an all. Corsas are great little cars mate. Simple mechanics and lots of stuff can be swapped between Corsas, Astras, cavs, vectras, tigras directly or with little modification. Its such a shame that they became a chavmobile and have the reputation that they do. Corsa B or later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I will stop over there on my way back from work if it's not to late for some pictures. It's a black corsa 1.6 sport with a calibra 2.0L turbo engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Sounds like fun. The Clio I had as my first car was the most fun car I've driven. They're just so fun to chuck around. Now, let's see some vids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Brilliant I nearly bought an MG ZR with a T series 2.0 litre Turbo from a Rover Tomcat running 300 BHP. It was savage and beat just about everything on a rolling start, it was insane but not half as insane as the insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Took me back to my youth a bit, reminded me of my old RST. It was only 2grand, needs a bit of work to get it nice but I doubt you could find a faster car for less money, it really does move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 nice....

JamieP Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I had a long day today, it was dark when i left work, will get some pictures soon as i get a chance, its not much to look at, tatty black corsa gsi with black wheels and a dodgy IC, I hope to get it looking a lot better, first thing i need is a decent coilover kit, it has stock shocks with lowering springs, the ride is not great and its very low.

letmeshowyou Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Great choice Jamie, I've nearly had one of these to mess about in on a few occasions. So much less hassle than the 4wd system on the calibra's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
