Well i couldnt keep away

Nothing special, just a banger to get me to & from work, second car.

1998 corsa 1.7D, seems canny.

Going to bang some wheels & lower it if i can find stuff cheap enough, dont want to throw money at it as it was cheap and trying to save cash now the bambino is here.

Already looking into a 17TD conversion though, be rude not to. (then adjust the boost & fuel a touch )

It just looks like a silver 5 door at the minute with faded plastics!

Will pick it up tomorrow and give it a clean and get some pics up.

Dont think the 1.7n/a are very tunable, the td is pretty good though, easy to increase fuel pressure and up the boost.

Be the 1.7cdti, canny but prone to problems, 1.9cdti is a much better engine.
