Very reluctantly its time to sell my Corsa, this car has been always polished monthly or more with Auto-glym polish, the paint is like glass.
This is no ordinary 1.4 corsa, there are many modifications carried out to this car, all performance modifications no cheesy styling anywhere the car and thats a promise! Every mod on this car was put on for a 'improvement' reason, either to make the car quicker or to make it handle better. I will now list the parts used and any other details i think are relevant.
1. Reconditioned 1400 SRI corsa engine fitted properly not rushed like many cars ive seen, includes gas flowed/skimmed head also recontioned with new valve stems and seating, all new seals and new clutch, a 4 branch manifold on de-cat full mild steel system (all parts and engine are approx 5,000 miles old that is all.
3. Full Race bush set from Deflex, Guaranteed for life.
5. Reconditoned Astra 16V front brakes with greenstuff pads only 5k old (very good stoppers) with good standard original astra discs.
6. Yokohama A539 195/45/R15 Front tires only 1000 miles old roughly, hardly worn, rear tires are of another 'budget' make and could do with uprating
7. Corsa 'C' SXI wheels in great condition only with a few marks from the tyre fitters (i was not very pleased about that)
I think finally i have covered everything, i should mention though the back end is fully stipped out only carpeted, new rear interior can be picked up from scrapyards for not much at all, this cars rear end would be good for a big speaker install though.
The bodywork is great, 1 small rust spot on the rear window seal i just keep touching it up though, and a stone chip in the centre of the bonnet also touched up.
i have probably missed loads but if there is anymore questions do not hesitate to ask me i will answer mostly within a day.
i really have enjoyed having this car, its so fun to drive, even my dad loves it! but its time for her to go now. A much loved car, no stupid offers.
I G-tech metered the car and it did a 16.9 second quarter mile, this car is capable of 120mph
Shane
standard suspension now back on!

a good performance cam and a good tune up would do this car grand, and make it go even faster, 120 mph on standard cam aint bad though i dont think.

i havent a clue on mpg but it depends on how much right foot you give it, if you just idle around it is very economical.
