Right well I've wanted a corsa (well a 1.4 sport) for time now, well when I were 16, now I'm 17, passed my test last month, I've got one...

It's a 1996 1.2 Merit (poverty spec) luckily, it cost me just an autograph

Some pics:




Couldn't resist






Got some new wiper blades on the way and looking for a punto rear wiper..

Got some 60mm Gmax springs for £45, I believe i have to get shocks if i'm going down 60mm?

Also what is this bag doing on my ignition cover?




Looking out for some alloys, post 97 bumpers, a black 'bad boy' bonnet and a GSi spoiler, so if you have any, drop me a u2u


That's all for now

The body roll is shocking though, hopefully lower body, harder suspension and wider wheels should be a cure

im afraid i have to agree on this, i have bugger all power so no body roll on power (exit of corner) and if you brake-shift-turn properly it shouldnt understeer (body roll), contrary to other (french car) sites the corsa is not a bad handling car, especially if you have a little motor like me. if you are rolling you are going in to quick and your poor dampers + arb are going to be really loaded no matter how wide your wheels or how low your car. could try before forking out mega bucks. just a suggestion, keep us uptodate
