Well hear is my Black SRI i got off hear bout 6mouths ago. Dun a bit to it now so thow i would start a thred.

I saw the car for £200 needed a shel didnt no wot was ronge with it but thort wot the hell lol. i picked the car up with 51 thousand on it with full services history so got a result





I soon found out that the only poblem with the engine was head gasket so fixed that for a £50 full gasket kit from motorquip. It only took a day to fit and get running.





























The car was sweet as a nut after That so i then thort i would put the car up for sale.

when i sold my other corsa the bloke throw in a SPAX RSX i wanted a set like this for ages.

















it handled so well and i wanted it stiffer and less body roll so i picked up some front and rear omp strut braces. also made a lot of difference.





im thinking of keeping it for longer now wot do u think lol

Looks nice and tidy, normally hate those wheels especially in black but TBH suit the car!

But i think the very outer rim in red would make the wheels really stand out and match with teh red detailing on the car!

Love it, very nice.

Only thing i would say would be that it needs different grill though. IMO of course
