Hello There.My name is Robert and i am 17 and this is my 3rd corsa.
Well have owned this now for about 3 months. I saw it on pistonheads for sale and jst had to have it. Then realised that he was a member on hear(Jhon G).
Spec:
-V-reg 1999 Sport with standard x16xe engine with 79,000 on the clock.
-Plastics been re-sprayed
-15" Compomotives Powder coated same colour as plastics.
-Spax rsx Coilovers on Front 80mm
-Jamex rear shocks with custom 90mm springs.
-Standard interiour in very good condition.
-Sunroof and air conditioning Model.
So This is wat it looked like when first bought.
It was looking jst like i wanted it to. But the suspension was way to low for my likeing.So off came the coilovers and jamex shocks with 90mm springs.
As i took the coilovers off i found that the p/s had bent at the mount.So off i went on the phone to v-sport to buy a new Bilstein B10 Kit. Also bought a brand new V-sport Cat-back system with a outward-rolled 3.5" tip.Because it still had the standard exhaust system.
Got all thease fitted on the weekend And looks so much better in my opinion.And drives much better after the suspension upgrade.
Well pleased with the B10 Kit. Surprisingly harder ride than the spax rsx.And the rear feels so much beater than with the jamex shocks.
Also love the deep sound of the new system.
Next Plans:
-De-cat pipe
-Manifold 4-1 or 4-2-1
-Polybushes all round
-Bigger brakes

Yes it is a very nice car. Was 90mm yes. But now its 60mm bilstein. In my opinion its 100% better on the road.
