This is my beast:

Just an SXi corsa - nothing spesh like al lthe brabus mercs and 4litre beemers that are going here, but its my pride and joy and I like it!!!!!

Quad Exhausts:

MMMM lovely!!!

Only thing I need now is enough money to get a chopped calibra 4wd drivetrain, and a 3.2v6 from a new vectra with a turbo bolted on, damn that would be nice!!!![][][][]

 

[LiQuOrIcE]

Ill tell ya what, i normally hate modded corsa's but i dont mind yours, probably because you dont have a ridiculas spoiler on the back of it!!

Like your wheels, but think you desperately need big brakes behind them!!!

That what you told your girlfriend, so she went and got a 180bhp 1.8T []

 

[Caged]

Do you really need all those exhausts?

Otherwise not too bad on the eye...

[] Very funnnnny!!!!!!! (but none the less true!!! [!])

I seriously need some big brakes (not that I drive fast or anything, the standard small jobs just look crap!!)

But I dont know where to get em from, how to get em changed over, or how to have the drums converted to discs, anyone help me with it?

I just had to have something different, so I went for more than usual, bigger than usual exhausts, pity the car's only a 1.2 (especially with around 65bhp at the wheels now Ive got 18s on!!)!!

Probably yeah!! []

 

[Gti Fly]

I reckon you could fit atleast another 3 exhausts in the middle valance. Should give you atleast 30bhp extra.

Nice ride though mate

 

[spanner]

Not a Corsa fan i'm afraid but the black saves it and it's certainly not offensive, unlike the god-awful orange coloured one down the road from where I work.

Not sure about the quad exhausts tho.....

i was going to say it looked good for a corsa, until i saw the four exhausts??? whats all that about?? I just hope all the pipes are actually connected, as on cold mornings, it'll look a bit silly with fumes just coming out of one pipe.

I'm glad your happy with it and happy motoring. I think some SUBTLE tints might make a nice addition to the appearance.

Not bad, but it does look like you took a small detour through a gutter pipe factory []

Re: the Corsa.. Have some scafolder's played a trick on ya mate? hehe! I actually think the whole car looks great (and I'm not a fan of the Vaux in general) but it really looks very tastefull.. and refined.. the zorsts spoil it but that's just IMHO!

Good effort though, I'm impressed.

- Toff.

 

[afarah]

So the general feel of it is - nice car, but dude, what were you doing with the exhausts??!!

Well thanks for your comments, I like the exhausts, (and yeah they are all connected up) its all about personal taste at the end of the day isnt it!!

Ive just rung a compant called CossVaux about getting a 2.0t for it out of an Astra GSi / SRi Turbo / Coupe Turbo or Zafira GSi but I need to source a decent engine, anyone know where I can find any?

Oh and my GF's car is brill, what mileage does she need to stop beddin it in?

Cheers guys (and any gals??!!)

 

[Mikedav]

Vauxhall eh? Like the grille / debadged setup, like the wheels, but I think its clear what you need to do with those exhausts! []. It is just a 1.2 dont forget so its a bit daft having that many- an BMW M5 has smaller ones and thats a V8...otherwise I think its a relatively tidy job!

Regards the brakes; if the top model doesnt have them already I gurantee the forthcoming Turbo will have discs on the rear, so the easiest way would be to get a full set of those. If not Im sure there is a way to change the rears easily; all I really know about brakes is you must change the rears if you do the fronts to maintain the braking bias.

 

[GrahamOliver]

Not my kind of thing at all, but certainly does look nicer than most corsa's round my way.

 

[awster]

coming from a fellow maxhead, that is very nice!

nothing to larry and very tastefull. good job!

 

[Stevoraith]

Agree with everyone else- the exhausts look crap!

But apart from that, it's a very nice looking car. I come from a traditionally Vauxhall family, so I tend to like them, and that is nicely modded.

My ex-girlfriend has a standard black 1.2 SXI and they are really nice to drive too- as well as being unbelievably well equipped for a car like that. Elec windows and mirrors, sports seats, fogs ,cd, tasteful aluminium dash etc.

My brother also has a black 1.2 SXI but his is a Corsa B. One of the last made, it's a 2000 X. He's got 16in Speedline Corse alloys on it and lowered 60mm. Also a good wee car, especially for a 17 year old!

 

[Wish]

Exhausts, what exhausts ??

 

[afarah]

Well I like em!!!!!!

What do you lot know anyway, you're all old codgers!! [][][] just joking!![]

Well ive enquired about getting the engine sorted out from its 1.2 to a 2.0turbo, courtenay sport quoted me £7200!!!!! I d o n t t h i n k s o ! ! ! ![V]
