It all started with a pretty neat 99 Corsa B 1.0 (the reason for the name, because this 973cc engine kind of looks like it came out of a blender! )
Here he is, stock mode:
Then I tried a friend of mines 195/60 R15.. just to see out it looked, because with this "beefy" tires... it looked really weird:
It kind of reminded me of a micro-machines car!
Then started the real mods:
I bought some very scraped rims for 50€, which originally looked like this:
Started to degrease it, to prepare for painting:
Then it came the primer:
(the tyres were trash, I got some new ones, don't worry )
And then the final paint job with 2 layers of paint and 2 layers of varnish:
(I wish I had used some feeling primer, the deeper scrapes were still visible!)
Final result:
Than I got a new stereo, and since I'm not a "sound freak", I know JVC has some pretty powerfull entry-level car radios! So I got one, and the original speakers.. sounded like never before! And it's very, very fast skipping through mp3 tracks:
Then I got some lighting.. and Nokya builds the best bulbs I've seen!
Now for a general view of the at the time.
The engine bay, with a cold air intake, from the lower grill to the air box. (note: I removed that secondary air box, I don't really now what it was doing there)
Then came the H&R -35mm springs:
The car got much better in every way (looks, cornering,...):
Then came a Carbon muffler:
which only used it for a couple of days, too noisy!
Then some angel eyes (dont really have a picture of them, sorry guys!)
Bosh aerotwin cleaners:
Then came a BMC CDA, really good stuff.... but my millage droped, so I sold it (20€ more than I got it )
This is the latest picture I have... with al mods (here you can see the angel eyes, well... sort of..):
Sorry for the long post! Hope you gyus enjoy it!
