CV joints and driveshafts should be fine.

They only start breaking when u put 18"+ wheels on the cars (like Grigglett and Brad had).

Anyone pushing 17"s is playing a game, especially on the older Corsa B models. If you win, the wheels stay on, if you loose, they come off, and u find a ditch

Nahh, Corsas had to have ones specially made up. I remember when the conversions started to be done Even C3RSA popped a driveshaft and CV joint, + many others.

THat wont happen now as specially made parts for the conversion are available. Think they are rated up to 300bhp.

What year? Dont forget, GSi's are getting pretty old now.

If it was a 1.6 16v sport, then pass, he just must drive it like a cunt
