bought my gsi coupla years back, drove it and fell in love with it.


all i did to the x16xe engine was to spray inlet manifold and drill airbox

i then bought a spare x16xe and had the head skimmed and gas flowed and ported but never fitted it cuz i wanted a c20xe

i saw some corsas with no interior and thought i had to do it, so did and loved it

i was happy with the 1.6 for a few months but then decided i needed more so i bought a c20xe and overhauled it




fitted it

and was lovin it. to compliment the stripped theme i banged a cage in

and some bucket seats-this was taken before i had painted cage btw

fitted v6 brakes and coilovers

painted wheels black

regular sight



and then in a bizarre twist of fate whilst NOT SPEEDING, i got cut up by an old cunt in a peugeout and disaster.





but i loved every moment of that car, it was all well worth the money sweat and tears.....and the blood when i was written off
