Been a bit quiet on here lately, more so than usual, so thought this might be a laugh. Most of us have been on here for many years and probably haven't owned a corsa for 10+ years. Would be good to see what we all used to krooz about in back in the day and have a laugh to see how we used to mod them. Also people with current corsas to see what's changed.
Be good to include some specs and also 'dream' plans you might of had for it. Plenty of banter welcome
Post away...

My old gsi. One of the first 2ltr 16v's about I think. Also had the longest throttle cable known to mankind. Plans were to fit a LET in but it rotted far to quickly for anything to happen

I'm going to remember all these corsa said being posted, the black 1.8sri looks good, a lot better than any newer corsa.
My very first corsa when I passed my test back in 2002 I never took a picture of, was a silver 1.2 club lowered on 15'' miglia actions with a powerflow letterbox style back box. Had a big sound system in the back as well which eventually got nicked
A few years later I got my hands on this beauty ha, 1.4 Sri with some custom front bumper, combat skirts, twin exhaust and some crap bucket seats.
After a few weeks I stripped the bits off and put a gsi front bumper on, 15s, sparco buckets, omp rollcage and my very first engine conversion. Did a home made decat and it was literally the loudest thing I've ever heard

Haha i'm sure it was called a devil spoiler or summit, paid a fucking fortune and that exhaust cost me a few hundred and it was the biggest piece of shit ever, had no silencers and sounded loud as fuck - had it on for a week max. Lexus lights were the first thing I bought, my first ever car mod and i was buzzing with them

Anddd the last time I saw it on the road
I should never have sold it. Bought with 3 to 4K on the clock in 2009 and sold it with 30k in 2013... Then the new owner ran it into the ground while hardly covering any miles
