I want a tuning box
get 1, never looked back since mine was fitted, and the exhaust system, it sounds surpriseingly gud

corsa b 1.6 vs. corsa c 1.8??
it's not a like for like comparison is it??
a mint year 2000 b will be heaps cheaper than a mint c 1.8sri...
get a b with twin airbags and aircon and it's got a similar spec to the c...
tho the c is quicker, (20bhp more), there's more satisfaction going old skool and having to source all the rare parts... buy a c and all you have to do is open your wallet at your vauxhall dealer...

and watch them empty it, cards and all - pray some turn up at the scrapyard if I get a C lol. I prefer the general feel of the C apart from the pedals.... really hate how light they are compared to my B, but the C 1.3CDTi felt so much quicker than my B 1.5TD even though the 1.5TD is supposed to be slightly quicker.
I want either a 1.7CDTi or 1.8 corsa C or an Astra sports hatch next lol.

the 1.3 cdti will be kwicker than the 1.5td
cus its a compact turbo injection not a low blow deisel burns better under combustion/pressure thats why ther called combustion engines so a cdti turbo adds more pressure whilst speeding up the fuel mixture and will have more effect than a lowblow turbo tht jus send the fuel mixture in kwicker

Aye - 1.4 SXi's seem a bit more common.

no its all to do with the increased pressure inside the fule rail, 1600 bar to be precises nothing to do with the turbo realy
1.7s are alot more rare than 1.4s tbh
