Hello everyone,
It's been a long time since I was last on here, and have decided to return. Since I was last on here owning a Corsa C 1.2 SXi. I went onto a MkIV Golf 1.9 TDi. But got bored of that very quickly, and it's not as good a car as I thought, so i've returned back to Vauxhall. Today i've put a deposit on a Corsa B 1.6 16v Sport, as I missed driving B's tbh. I'm well happy with it, as that's what I wanted when I brought the 1.2 8v Smoke Grey B, if anyone remembers me with it. This car has got a few mods to it, Wolfrace alloys, induction kit, lockwood dials, backbox, wiring for a sub, and a Irmscher front airdam. But that's about it. It has got 78k genuine miles too. As I HPI checked it. It's a 2000 W reg, and in Sapphire Black. My plans for it in the next coming month, is coilovers, full s/steel decat exhaust system with 4-2-1 manifold and 3.5" rolled outwards backbox, a new alarm, install my sub, and either some Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's in white or some Compomotive MO6's in either 15" or 16" with either 195 or 205/45 profile Yokohama Advans, also debadged grill, bonnet lifters and if money lets me some uprated arb's and bushes. Enough talk time for pics guys.
Greets.
Josh

needs to be lowered, you can get a fucking double decker bus under those arches.
And also lose the yellow clocks.
Nice base car though mate, good luck with it.

What happened to never ever buying a Vauxhall again Josh? How many times you said that now?

Appears a bit of a down grade to me, even from the Corsa C.
Hope this B doesn't blow up last the last couple

@ NobleOne: I know I said that, but I missed the Corsa's loads tbh. Most fun i've had in cars, and after owning a driving this Golf, all I can say is it's expensive crap.
@Andrew: Yes bit of a downgrade from a C, but I didn't find the C as fun as B's, and my last B didn't blow up. I sold it in good working order almost. Just had the seal on the fuel tank just going. But did tell new owner before he brought.

Don't worry Noble, I work full time, and ain't got anyone to waste my cash atm. So only my money will go on the Corsa. So can get things done properly. I'm looking at going to Vauxhall soon and buying some GSi Skirts, arches, and proper mounting points, and get them sprayed and fitted by my old college tutor, who worked for Vauxhall. So wanting a good looking car over a shed for once. =]
