Hey guys had my corsa vxr about 10 months now, thought id post up its busy life so far. I bought her with 3k on the clock, heated full leather, bluetooth, climate control.

First mods were a tms remap, dblias flowmaster and baily's twin piston dump valve and oil change. Was running 225 bhp





Then went for full magnex system (pre cat, 100 sports cell, back box) to take it to stage 2. running 245bhp





Stage 3 was the week after, chose the blizzard intercooler by far the best thing i bought to date. best run i'v had is 251bhp and 289lbft









Had flowmaster, coolent a dump v hoses all changed to samco and rear 3 windows tinted and sunstrip







After pv show and trax last year was sick of mine looking the same as everyone elses so splashed the cash on some springs 30/20 drop and a set of 17inch team dynamic pro racer 1.2 alloys with toyo t1r tyers.







Phase two of the new look was down to the local bodyshop for few bits done

steinmetz front grill fitted


Rear defuser sprayed black


Had a phone call first week in december asking if id like a feature in total vauxhall, jumped at the chance, dashed to get last few bits done.

Hard pipes on the intercooler


Lower grill meshed, with blizzard sprayed on the intercooler




Feature went well its in issue 96 (may) of total vauxhall, thanks to dan and matt had a great day, not seen any pics want it to be a suprise and enjoye the day.

Few weeks ago went for a service and rr set up at tms



As she is now






Future plans are in the next few weeks ap brakes and a LSD, boost gauge, be ready for the show season (will be at the fast show with vxronline) Coilovers and internals later in the summer maybe before my trip to the ring.

cheers for looking any comments, questions etc welcome.

nice car mate. only thing i don't like about them is how they seem to run out of steam past 70mph as one did in a blast with my focus.

i'm sure it's good with a remap though.

Hey everyone thanks for your welcomes and nice comments, il post up the pics requested in the next few days. Im planning on going too the ring in june with a few mates let the weather get better. I love the reaction it gets and turns heads wherever i go. It sure does shift. The internals are a big issue along with injectors etc too. From my point of view 250 bhp is save for a day to day car anything over that then the life of the engine is very questionable. The 300 bhp corsa vxr in max power is actually bull. Its running about 270ish with uprated standard turbo internals. They plan to put an astra vxr turbo on there but were all waiting for it to pop. btw i gave in as todays pay day and ordered the coilovers lol
