looks ok that mate. bet ya loving it compared to the oil burner. tbh the exhaust is a bit over board for a corsa but then again you might decide to change it after you have owned it for a white? any good luck with ya project an hope to read more as you go along

Ah, a nice reply. Thanks mate

Yeah I'm loving it mate, the sports interior, leccy windows power steering the lot.

Exhaust may not be everyones cup of tea but i don't mind it although I may change it later on. but not fussed at the moment.

Pretty fast for a 1.6 I must admit. And I must stress I'm never owning another diesel. EVER.

Cheers

I wouldn't say it was a fast car. I have owned 2 MR2 turbo's and this would have it's ass SEVERELY handed lol

but seems quick for a corsa.

the 1.7 Corsa Diesel I had, there was nothing wrong with it. Just slow and wanted a sport. Should have bought one first off.

Only owned it 1.5 months

Which 1.7 diesel did you own though? The 1.7 non turbo B? I wouldn't want one of those either, but i love the 1.7 CDTI engine in my corsa.

Diesel engines these days are light years ahead of where they were 10 years ago. A 1.6 petrol engine is just about the same however.

With a tuning box this 1.7 diesel would be as quick (if not quicker) than a 1.6 corsa and returns 57 to the gallon with the aircon on. Whats not to like about that?

Nice sport though (except for that exhaust ). I was looking at them myself a year or two ago.

Think you've established the exhaust dislike.

It's still staying though

I think a standard one looks 100x better than the current one to be fair .
