well as some of you know today was the pickup day for my corsa d and
its a 2009 Vauxhall corsa D 1.3cdti (ecoflex) 75ps Sxi
Current mods -
Vxr stying kit.
progress is bound to be slow with this one, due to paying the finance
im allready in love with the sound of the dumpvalve coming off boost, but just wish it was a bit louder
---------------------------------
Well today i cleaned it for the first time.
Used all auto glym stuff, shampoo, super resin polish and aqua wax + metal polish on the exhaust.

Very nice
Good to see a few D's popping up on here!
What is that EcoFlex all about? Is it the new Twinport?!

ecoflex is the most economical model. so the 1.3 cdti 75ps or the 1.0 petrol

Love these, drive nice as well, I almost almost bought a fully kitted up 1.3CDTi Design one of these last year for 7.5k but didn't fancy being tied into finance.

lovely little car, looks just like the one thats pictured in the corsa D brochure. Styling pack makes it look a zillion times better.

Phil the 1.3 cdti (90) is the one to have apparently.good mpg & nice smooth power.
Still wouldn't mind one of these tbh they are massive inside compared to the B.

to be honest, ive driven a 1.4 corsa d with 90bhp and mine will more than easily keep up with it.

Bet my parents 1.3 DCTi 90ps would leave it for dead though.
The torque in theirs is 6 speed box is awesome too.
Shame it just had to have a new ECU 10K miles in though - knocked the reliability record of it somewhat

One of the most chav things you can do imo. Especially on what is still a standard car Sorry!
Plans in GC of your photoshops look pretty cool though (although bigger wheels would be required!)
